Postby GRAWRG. » Sun Apr 03, 2011 10:04 pm

it took me 16 nukes to kill someone with 16k shields today. they had 3 SEs. tell me this is a glitch? he was at 0 when i launched the last nuke, but still. 16 nukes? really?

everyone is telling me the same, but they think this is ridiculous too. toonces?

Seems reasonable to me, maybe a tad overpowered, but think of it this way, he coulda have dodged them all if he had all suits, not all SEs. i figure that a SE is twice as powerful as a neutron plating, so 3 SEs would be 6 plating. That would take alot of nukes, if he had any neutron platings or capacitors as well, then he would easily withstand that, plus even more depending on what else he had.

lol grawrg stop complaining that you wasted 16 nukes on someone (Because you cant really Fight) and that you are mad because toonces made a DEFENSE against spam nukers like you and me. Just use your Grav beam and Stop complaining.

Nukes are not as powerful as they once were, used to be u shot a player with 8 nukes and the hit them with a torp or grav and they died. Nukes did 2k damage Doesn't work that way anymore on GA.


I have noticed that if you space out the nukes instead of spamming 3 at a time they do more damage. I think the time it takes for the game to recognize the damage gets messed up when u spam nukes onto someone. Say you shoot 3 quick nukes into someone, because of the lag between your computer, the server and the players computer you are trying to kill most times only 2 of the 3 nukes actually do any damage.


Hope it clears this up.


Then again if someone is using generated lag then they in theory can reduce the amount of damage done by nukes by spoofing the game server into thinking they are getting hit with less nukes then you observe on your own screen.


Very frustrating indeed.


And BTW Jesus, GRAWRG can fight quite well.....I don't think many can say the same about yourself but giving enough time you will learn the skills needed to fight more effectively.

Usually when someone spam nukes one of the nukes does not score a direct hit and explodes a little off the center of ships this lack of direct hits was much more prominent pre module and nukes might explode over your engines rather than in the middle of a ship ( a direct hit)

QFT

Also it depends where you hit the with nukes, if a player gets hit in the sides of a ship it always did less damage then a direct hit to the front. Getting hit in the engines does less damage as well.

Try this on a planet with solar shots and you will see what I am talking about.

rofl, i never noticed any of that. i always knew that certain nukes did more damage, i always kind of figured it had to do with the force of the impact more than the location. but i really hate how toonces has tried to adjust the game instead of giving us old nukes. now i can get 3 SEs i guess.. and if i dodge 2 nukes i'll live in a 1v1. it's do-able. but, its not fun.. and it requires next to no skill..

thanks for clearing things up, and thanks for the compliment angry. though im not much of a fighter these days, lol.

why do people always use "having a life" as a defense for being called bad at sge? i call it an excuse, not a good reason. you're playing the game, and if you're bad its your fault so um.. yeah.

and if having a life is worshiping a god that doesnt exist and posting stupid BBQ on forums, then its embarrassing that you dont spend more time on sge.
