Kamakaze Tactics?

KeviN · 2003-02-16, 07:03 PM

Okay, say you take a Reaver, or maybe a Skeeter out for a little fun. Well, out on your trip you spot a loaded enemy Galaxy, and decide to destroy it. Well, you can't shoot it down, so you decide to fly into it. You all blow up happily ever after, so would you get BEPS for every single person in there, cause that would be a lot. This also leads to things like an ejection button, is there one? And, if a Harasser driver picks up a friendly, not in the same squad, and that player kills a guy, would you get any BEP? What if you run someone over, do you get any for that?

i am wondering that too

I'm pretty sure you can bail from vehicles. Everyone in a vehicles shares BEPs. Don't know about geting beps from running people over.

You cn bail from vehicles but at that height you may die. I remember SJ sayinf kamikaze tactics wouldn't work well though.

if you bail from an air vehicle the kinetixc dampeners kick in.

im talking bout the BEP's.. if you blow up a galaxy with lots of peopl.. do you get the maximum beps for the kill

We don't know abotu the minimum height so if you're ramming you'll most definately be below it. If it isnt then that's...weird...but anyway..I think people wil probably ram with mosquito more and even Reaver. Galaxy is a little slow.

Those three chain guns are gonna be raping you though. I think the only plausible vehicle that a reaver could ram, would be another reaver. Or a tank or some such thing. Ramming will be hard, and everyone will just eject out of the galaxy so, I believe the devs handled the threat of ram spamming well.

Huh? First of all the Reaver has more firepower than the Galaxy and it's faster. Also, why wouldn't the reaver be able to ram things? Did you just randomly decide that?

BTW: didnt the devs say somehting about having a problem with the grief system when 2 galaxys hit eachother and both died? Well so I dont see why if you can kill a friendly one you cant kill an enemy one the same way.. also if you get all the grief pts for it, you should get all the exp pts for it too, jsut what I think

Yup, Its all "educated"guessing. But I don't believe theres gonna be lone galaxy sitting there to be rammed, it will be escorted. Thus ramming air stuff won't be very productive if the handling system is how i think it is. Skeeters will merely dodge.

Yeah...that immediately banned the one person. Heh..They're "tweaking it"

Yes you can ram people to get BEP. Heres the proof, read the damage readout. I like the kill thing too heh
