I hear that. Nothing worse than having to watch out for the bored players at secured bases. My outfit had our galaxy destroyed by a bored Magrider driver once. That sucked.

Sputty. Such a big cat and no new recipes.

I would have called thread necromancy, but the emerald board sees so little action already that I really can't.

Digital Marines. Emerald Alliance. There two groups that have gained attention on emerald, both TR. I still smile when I think about how I initiated the first bombing run on that bridge.......

I've been impressed by my enemies only once and it was in fact the TR. It was the one time I saw them do an assault on Solsar that seemed organized. There were tanks moving in packs with Prowlers hammering targets and lightnings finishing them off. AMS actually being guarded by Marauders and Bursters. There were reavers doing strafing runs and doing damn well on said runs. It was a thing of beauty. We managed to eventually recover all our ground (due to it getting late and people logging I imagine) but were boxed in to the bottom three bases almost the entire night with the continet population locked the entire time.

Usually when Im fighting TR it seems the tactics I come up against seem to be drive a ton of AMSs to an area and do the spawn, run to base, die, repsawn tactic over and over with the occasional all reaver squad hoving in place spamming and getting mauled by Sparrows and, at least back when I had my sparrow MAX, sending tells about how cheap the sparrow was and last but not least the never-ending stream of people who can't seem to get it through their head that one guy with a striker doesn't stand a chance against a Vanguard or even a competent Lightning pilot, especially when you stand in the middle of the road like a moron.

No prowlers. No Marauders. No lightings. Nothing even resembling coordination.

Now then, who do I have respect for? I respect Sturmgrenadiers because while they are, imo, an overly large outfit they appear to be one that has actual organization as opposed to a few others that I won't mention. Liberty because they have some damn talented people and have held a relatively high spot in the rankings with very few players since launch.

Who do I respect on VS/TR? Whoever was doing that solsar assault that night many moons ago that's for sure. Other than that it's rather hard to tell. I concentrate more on trying to kill them than on how good of a job they're doing in most cases. I guess about the best I can come up with is anyone who I've gotten into a great 1 on 1 fight with and if I came out on top had the respect to send a tell saying "Damn good fight" or when I lose after a good fight and send a tell respond to me with something other then "hahaha yeha I wtfpwnd u!!".

Yeah, I've had a few good individual fights myself and always send tells to the guy im fighting, even in the middle of it. I think I played SG once with my outfit and they seemed to think we had an uncanny ability to find out where their next target was. They didn't really impress me for all the hype built around them. Most of them fought about as well as any other weekend warrior (I, myself belonging to said group). I can remember one guy getting a ton of kills (SG), but we sent our own ThommoAUS after him and he kicked the snot after this guy. Overall, yeah there are some good organized groups out there, and some groups that build themselves up to be organized, but I don't think any GROUP out there REALLY impresses me much, they all kinda look the same when their in the thick of it, no real separation between their would-be tactics and a zerg from my end of the fight. I'm sure it looks that way from their end to ours too.
I like small squad action better, then you really get a nose for tactics and who's good.

Eh MJ? TR have been beating the living hell outta NC and VS for a while now, wtf are you talking about?
