Hi fellow space pilots,
still quite new to the server, had lately some discussions
about using batts/bots, also with KRT-Inferno, who
seems to claim here that he doesnt like when a fighter
reloads...
well, my 5 cents to that, is this little story:
I'm still building up my chars, so trading is essential for
me at the moment, to buy all the stuff and have some
spare cash for ammo. One day, a KRT member told me
"hey lets do traderun together, agents lists to earth",
I thought, OK, why not...
20min later Inferno joined, scanned me ship, switched to a
char positioned on the route, and told me to drop the
cargo... I had only about 10mil left on my trader, of
course I didnt agree to lose almost all my cash, so
I went into fight.. thought I had no chance, with that
train and those Katana turrets, but anyway I tried,
and shot his shield down and hull to 1pixel or so,
he had to reload 2 or 3 times, until finally shot me down
which made me a bit angry, but well, multiplayer games
are dangerous sometimes
Short time later, I was chatting a bit, told some other
guy, that I nearly shot that fighter with me crappy train,
he answered then "what, thats forbidden, or at least,
clan members agreed not to reload in fighter PvP"...
didn't know about that until then.
Well, contrary to the statements here, KRT told me very
clearly, that "no reloading" is not in the server rules, so
he will use it, he also said, that PvP would be only
fighter vs fighter, not fighter vs train, which sounded
more than strange to me (fighter vs fighter no, but against
train, which is lot weaker target, he thinks it's ok???)
After finding and reading this topic, it's now very clear
for me, that the so-called "knights" are some of most
unhonorable fighters here, he saw that he would lose,
was probably pissed about that and didn't care about
that common convention about reloading anymore,
which he knew, since he also read this thread here.
Plus, after getting angry bout that, switching to my
fighter and bashing 3 KRT in a row (being newbie in
that mod), showed me, why trains are their favorite
targets, lol
For me, I'll stick to LP's and BG's attitude.. u dont lose
much when get shot in a fighter (opposed to 30min
playing time and 50mil cash in a train) without reloading,
but lose ur honor with reloading.
At least, he offered me 24h immunity after that, but for
the rest, well u can make ur own thoughts about it.
