Station n00king idea

Jun 19, 2003 HumpyThePenguin link
I dont know about you, but when somebody thinks they cant win a fight fairly they resort to station nuking. I feel this is very annoying. What I think would be the best way to deal with this is that Stations have their own targetting box that the Avalons explode by prox detonation. Normally these station nukers shoot the avalon at the back wall and dock before it can explode against the bulhead. A box where proximity things will be detonated near a station would make things with prox detonators explode in their faces. It also might *help* eliminate station mining.

Only if it detonates lmines will I be truly happy with it.

BTW, why can't mines be killed with rockets? I mean, at least let a direct hit kill it...

yeah it seems odd to me that nuking a single mine wont hurt the thing but shooting a single phased blaster shot will kill it....

Station nuking is just as annoying as rocket ramming. If a group of griefers are camping the station, they deserve to be nuked and mined.

Maybe giving stations frigate turrets would be better. They would fire at anyone who would fire near the station zone, including campers.

I respect your comment,and your opinion, Arolte, but YOU are the reason why I spent time to come up with this idea.

Please stop doing this Arolte, becuase you seem to be the only one doing it often enough to warrant this solution.

I'll do it for as long as rocket whores and campers exist. Deal with it. Those who use cheap tactics should deserve being cheated on also. Familiarize yourself with karma.

Here's the logic (sorry Moderator, but if I don't post it, I'll die laughing):

You see someone using a tactic which a DEV has said he enjoys (rocket battles). Therefore you call them a "whore" and dock at a station, where you purchase high-damage weapons and shoot them while invincible, avoiding damage to yourself and damaging anyone who happens to be nearby.

That almost makes sense if you're on drugs. But it only gets BETTER!

Next you see someone sitting at station killing people while the killer is invincible. So what do you do? You dock at the SAME STATION and start killing the killer (and EVERYONE else near the station) while invincible.

Hmmm...


I'm really sorry Moderator, and I'll understand if you delete this post. But I find Arolte to be hilarious in his justification and I'm waiting for him to come out of his self-delusional state that he's in.

You can't fire while invincible. I believe this was changed two or three releases ago. Get your facts straight.

Dock->Shoot as soon as you can->Dock again before you have been non-invincible long enough for anyone to shoot you. Whatever.
