I've hit top of the leaderboard in battles against 3 star rank people, I can't be the only one?

I tried shooting speed regulator on the test server and I find it amazing, you have basically non existant spin time/cooldowns, so you can continously ram the bullets onto enemies, plus it shoots for ages! I don't think it's all that bad since you pretty much don't have to worry about hitting the overheat treshold and losing all of your damage if you're in a tight situation. Of course, this was m4/m4 and I was using uh... Driver drone I think (The plan was to reload titan's dome to heal back from the overheating :P )? I thought it would help with incendiary band, but it performed pretty bad against those other m4s/full drugs. Maybe I just don't have the mindset for it.

It really depends on how you're playing, I don't see rico hornet as a combination that can hide from incoming damage as it dishes out... Plus I find light hulls far too weak, the risk of just getting oneshot is too great. Heck I've had positive K/D on @UAV1997 with mammoth isida in battles, one time without a single drug as well :lol:. Don't let the frustration get to you, or you'll end up playing worse.

That only really happens if you/the enemy is lagging or there's a ramp nearby, most times you use your size to hit the box before others do (Unless you can jump to get it :P ). Try to get in a position where 2 people are pushing you from opposite sides, so they won't move you and you'll just take it.

I don't know if you own any alteration for your m3s, but they will greatly heighten your battle prowess. Viking thunder can do well, if you give up on going straight in the enemy faces, though pairing thunder with titan (That unfortunately you don't have) is a nice idea too, especially when you get sledgehammer (It seems to have no real drawbacks... I tried it on test server). Hammer pretty much needs to use duplet, you could couple it with hornet to 2 shot every enemy during overdrive, assuming you can survive :P I'm not too sure about ricochet, but the minus field stabilization is basically a necessity in most maps that MM will throw you in. Do not rush in the game... Put yourself in a position where you can have time to strategize better, you have good weapons, though I personally dislike viking. Too floaty. And in some matches, it's just too unbalanced to even try to keep a decent score/KD, being a complete and utter steamroll. Doing the missions every day will give you a good supply of crystals, then you can easily go hang in pro battles if you don't care about the challenges.

Still 9999, don't forget the 400 per defense module is for each.

That just means they'll be vulnerable to a surprise railgun ohko. :P

If you have mammoth OD, wasp bomb just disables it, making you vulnerable.

And you do not think in the slightest that that, is ridiculous? That's why I'm literally using railgun instead of striker... Heck railgun does better than striker at ALL ranges, that's dumb. It reloads so fast and destabilizer often lets me oneshot enemies. Heck, it occasionally oneshots heavy hulls too. No way in heaven I would do that with striker, unless I'm facing an unprotected light hull with uranium. And boy is it hard to hit the spot. Plus with striker I would have to be exposed for over 3 seconds to load the cyclone salvo that can kill an heavy, assuming that: 1. no team mates get on my face (You have no idea how often that happens and I either die or flip my ally instead of killing the enemy), 2. He doesn't hide into cover, both before and after I release a salvo 3. Or alternatively if he gets on my face I'll die before he gets hit with 3 missiles out of 8.

Probably because it only shoots 13 times as opposed to lcr's 11... Also accelerator scout shoots as fast as a thunder :mellow: and I was using a 12/20 m3 thunder.

That's just... Game mechanics? These aren't exploits, they're completely intended by the devs. The first 2 are literally strategy, and the others are... Alterations, things you pay with crystals to utilize. How are these exploits? They're all completely intended by mr hazel, disruptor of balance.

Exploits? Do you mean strategies? :huh: Exploits are usually abusing bugs to your favor. And well if you have a team with large amounts of engineers you can have the entire team on drugs all the time, so yeah, that one's not weak at all either.

On test server the snipe shot now leaves a trail similar to railgun.

You can do it better with shaft. ;)

Test is open, gauss now has a trail (Similar to rail but... More electric) for its charged shot, and it seems (I dunno m4 figures though) the reload after sniping is faster.

I have dictator m2.9 and I can run away from the bombs quick enough nearly every time. Bombs are only a problem in the low ranks because it's a fixed explosion time against acceleration and speed that only grows with upgrades. I cannot avoid a rail hornet oneshotting me. And he can do it multiple times in the span of his overdrive. These things do not need to be also impossible to see.

Are you aware that hornets equipped with railgun/shaft can literally oneshot anything under the overdrive effect, yes? And you want to add invisibility to that?

M4 with large caliber has a damage range of 1120-2240, so on average it oneshot a medium hull, and with luck an heavy hull too.

1 second stun on a 1.5s reload weapon? Who needs freeze then? That's not even enough time to deal a tick of firebird/freeze/isida damage, vulcan becomes helpless, railgun doesn't have time to load a shot, etc... That would be ridiculous.

I saw the cake once in the entire celebrations and it was caught by a lousy lagger who jumped above my tank for no reason. :rolleyes:

I missed one day this week and now I will lose a 20 mission weekly, because I'll finish it on the day they reset. :( It would be nice if I could get another one instead.

I'm not entirely sure this belongs here but: In the player ratings pages, time and experience earned with drones does not match at all the number of batteries used, or the exp earned. I made over 5000 exp today, yet my engineer, that I've been using since the drone sale, only has 0.8 hours on record with below 2k score. I clearly used 322 batteries in total, so how could it be?

http://prntscr.com/nznlym My thoughts on shaft, in a tiny picture. :(

I'm using engineer while there are 3x funds, to give an edge in battle to my team (And myself, because of the increased duration of drops) and I'm getting annoyed to hell by those nut-sized brain allies who don't turn the turret and do their worst to steal the supply boxes from me, even if I would literally give them the SAME IDENTICAL effect, on top of giving it to the other 6 members of the team and myself. These people are effectively undermining the entire team's scores!

Hmm... Aren't they one time use only?
