How do you do it?

[SkyRock]

If I could give a word of advice to both sides of this discussion, both have good points.  Maybe the words used could be better chosen.  If anyone bumps into a guy that bails when he is about to be toasted, simply state to him that there is a more honorable and larger concept in this process.  Words like, "you might want to" as in "You might want to stick it out, take our death, and maybe learn from the encounter"  would be more inclusive to the fellow.    Of course if I run into him I'd probably call him a punk dweeb coward arse mama's boy!     Just kidding about the mama's boy.   Seriously, though, he sounds to me like he just doesn't have a clue!  So why dont someone take this young man aside and fill him in on "the way it is".

Sorry about the grammar!:o  "Why dont"  lmao

there are so few left who possess such clues.



 and even fewer willing to take the time to try and pass them along.

BS. All he ever does is tell every one how great he is. "I got 50 kills in a tempie" Or look at my new films of how great I am" That's all he ever does! And it doesn't hold water with alot of older flyers.

Does killing me repeatedly, over and over and over and over and over again and again and again, every sinle time we meet and then using the SYSTEM messages to show me how good he is count?

Alternatively, if you want a high K/D just fly a Tempest.

I think before I started getting bored and flying into bad odds in one last tour, my max K/D ratio in the Tempest was 50:1 (and K/S of 9:1). That wasn't any kind of amazing or special flying; I have no doubt anybody else could put up the same numbers in the plane if they put their mind to it. It really is that good.

My bad. I did mix it up. My apologies to Morpheus.

Reading comprehension is clearly not one of your strong points, Ren.

  Lol, one thing you won't have to worry about in here is grammar.
It's one thing to listen to all the arguing back and forth, and another
to see them post the following words and believing they mean the same thing:

Their, there, they're
to, too, two

  Thats all I have a *itch about.  Let's all just go and have fun
(Oh, by the way..when I bail, I will have my 45 at the ready. The only question you have to ask yourself is, did he fire 6 rounds or 7?            Do ya feel lucky, Punk?  Well, DO YA?)


*Sigh*

[Edbert1]

You are fun to fight dedalos, I look forward to it when I know you are around, as long as morph aint around to steal ya at least ... LOL.

I think the best way to improve your K/D standing is to kill all the timid pilots you find. Chase the bastards all the way to the deck from 35k and finish em in their ACK while they scream for help. Sure you probably wont get much above 1:1 this way, but by lowering their K/D your 1:1 becomes a little more respectable.

Sorry. Crow isn't on the menu but I apologize when I'm wrong.

HOLLY HELL we're still here?

Well lets get down to bizz.

x002308974Marine.

before I move on to another game, I'm trying to mix up the way in which I play; lately it's been a concentrated effort on not being killed. I used to fight to the death every time no matter what, emphisis on doing as much damage as possible before eating the golden BB. That was ok for awhile...

First off. Your a newbie. I know guys whome have been in flight sims for the past 10 years. And they are still upping thier game.

1 in particular is usually ranked in the top 2-3 as fighter. This is impressive to me only in his case because I know he doesnt try. He's just that much better.

There's many, MANY ways to "mix things up" in this game without playing like you, a chump.

2nd

But now it just seems like a waste of time... I think I got as much out of doing that as I'm gonna get, time to focus on something else.

Ya think???

It doesnt take someone such as me, with my vast knowledge and immense intelect to see that flying for 5-10-15 minutes to a fight only to bail is a waste of time. I'm very glad you've gotten to the point in your game that you can see that.


But if after three months, you've gained more out of this game and gotten farther than I've gotten out of the years I've been here... Good for you. I'm glad. And I'm hopful you will leave soon.

It scares me to think, that this is what flight sims have become, namely Aces High.

But I am glad that there are still those who see that crap like this will not be overlooked. With the exception of Ren. Who just refuses to see the obvious.

So the saying goes. You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink. Ren...

Some new players are a real joy to work with.

Two stick out in my mind right now. Superdud, and Megadud. The venerable Aces High psychotic duo. I had more fun flying with these two and helping them than anyone I've ever given a bit of advice to. They enjoyed "the fight" and the thrills that come along with it. And were there to learn and greatful for someone to take the time to teach them. Every night almost you could find them in a fight somwhere. Giving it there absolute best.

x009028349Marine falls off and these two pick up.

You dont care about learning. If you did want to learn you wouldnt give up excellent learning oportunities by avoiding a death and being shot down, and avoiding mistakes by not having the oportunities to make them.

Foolish if you ask me. But then again. Your at the top of your game arent you.

Ren. STFU.

Do you even have a clue who or what you are deffending? I doubt it.

You cant even keep your tiny brain on track long enough to make a credible jab towards me. If your going to throw punches, start making them count. Or again, you can always just pack it.
