No Reload In PVP

    Hello,


    I have been re-familiarizing myself with the rules... somehow I MISSED the "No reload in PVP"... luckily, I heard about it through someone ELSE breaking it before I did!! (Thanks, Husker for cluing me in!)


    It just made me wonder, why no reload? I am not against the rule or anything, just curious as to how/why it came about.


    Thanks!

    Because the average fight lasted forever.


    No-reload in PvP is old FL code.

    Ahhhhh okay, mutually beneficial.


    I still marvel at how you got AMBUSHED and still beat those guys down even though they were reloading hahaha... I haven't seen them back since.


    Cool with me, they taxed me and I didn't have the money at the time...

    It indeed is an old FL "behaviour code".


    But it's also because it would bring an unfair advantage to some players, that can pilot ships with more batts/bots than the other player, so no matter if you are a bit better, if the other guy can reload few more times more than you, he has more chances to win.

    nah,
    that is balanced for vhfs imo few years. hull+bats/nanos=hull+bats/nanos cca for all vhfs.


    ps
    i give 10 M ingame who found one thread without Mike post. lols

    Edited once, last by Husker: editing ().

    damn...indeed rarity.


    Now 20 M who find 5 threads. Rules are the same.
    No BOT threads!!!

    Yes, from the other side everyone would be like me and fly a flat-backed pile of armor :)

    There you got like 20 threads without no post of mine in it.


    So I win the next 2 giveaways :D



    Anyway, Cayman has a bit less armor, and more bats/bots (100), so you can reload several more times than pretty much any other used VHF, Shroud has 65, Hades bomber has 65, Haidar 65 (and fatty), Persephone 70, Eagle series 63, T-Rex 63, Saracen 78(the most of these, but still no comparation)...


    So I don't really see what you are saying about no advantages on this.


    Also, trains have no bats/bots :D

    It is just slightly "improved" version of Gayman, but more bulky.

    Long time ago i calculate this ratio hull/nano+bats and fighter agility...all results almost same. Of course there are exceptions.
    Oh, Mike no sticky threads and rule threads :)
