Re: The Striker


Last time I checked the Phoenix will make an ESF start burning, followed shortly thereafter by a *KABOOM!*.
Is it a OHK, technically speaking? No. But pretty darn close.

Re: The Striker


Try reliably hiting ESFs with a Phoenix. And no ones that hover in place without doing anythign ther esembles evading dont count.

Also pretty sure the Lancer does significantly reduced damge to aircraft.

Not what my comment was about. But, yes you're right.

Why would it deal reduced damage to aircraft?

Becouse its almost hitscan. If it did full damage you could shoot ESFs out of the sky without any warning with a single charged shot.

Oh, you mean that the weapon itself does less damage because of the above.
I thought you were referring to the Lancer dealing less damage to air than any other target.

Semi-Auto dumb fire rocket launcher would be epic. It would also kill all the whinging about the Striker.

Can the NC have this too?

Edit: Technologist: I rarely have an issue with the Striker in my Lightning/Vanguard. I either tank the shots and find cover or move away and make sure I drop the Striker user before I move on. Its the Lib piloting that really suffers, and needing to run a very specific setup just to avoid a single weapon doesnt seem right. If flares worked, I don't think I'd care either way.

When this is fixed it does beg the question as to just how effective the Striker is going to be against ground targets on most of the continents. Hossin seems like it's going to be a continent with a lot of cover and Esamir is probably the continent where the Striker is capable of being used to its fullest ability.
In areas with a lot of cover it mostly becomes an AA weapon, but with the dome shields coming back it won't really be useful for that either (When inside a base with a shield).

Personally I would prefer for SOE to revamp the Striker into a non-lock-on weapon. For example:

agreed. I always have suggested the striker should become like the raven or engi AV turret. SOE does not seem to like to change anything though so I have low hopes of this ever happening.
