Unless I'm not understanding this new capture thing right, lets see, this mean anything? ... "element of surprise"?.    not when you follow the blue line or look at what base is enlarged available for capture.   So much for being able to capture a field in the middle and work your way out :p      

Have you ever up from a cv or a field to go help capture a base, and flying 1/2 way there only to see "nits-bish-rook has captured field ## " your flying to?  eh?  well in the good ol days you would probley change course head to the next closest field or what ever field was on "your agenda".  

Now it seems the {next field in line for capture} "might " be 2+- sectors away from where you are, and if your flying in say a slow zero its really depressing. So it  looks like  there are four choises: 1. you waste your time or die of bordom if you decide to fly to the next field in line for capture   or 2. attack a base thats closer but not capturable, or 3. auger or 4. waste time flying to base just captured, tower, reup at the closest base    :( ...  

Happened to me last night  {waaaaaa!}   I'm 1/2 way to the base (in a zero because the "eny" was up i think.  sigh..)(im thinking zero is for the mph they go, hehe) we are attacking, bam its captured,  cool!  i look and there is a nice juicy base just waiting for my bombs but its not the next in line so no one is heading there and to ask someone to head to that base to help you do what?   sigh.........    

Its like Hey fellas, (dont matter where your friends or squads at, screw them, come on rub shoulders with people you dont know or dont care to know com'on chum up, hold hands sing campfire songs) fly in the EW arena with 15 people in it  ,  or fly in the MW arena with 24 people in it,   or fly in the orange (limited base capture) LW arena  with 100 people,   Because other Blue LW arena is full with 120 people, but try back later because it will adjust for more players when the arena your in now gets few more people in it. Oh and capture the bases we allow you until theres a opening in the arena that dont have that!    But while your "stuck" in a arena you dont want to be in, the other choice is quit a game you pay for because you have no choices .   Try back later you might get lucky and get in where you want.

Your at a restaurant in town ..What would you like to drink sir, coke? we dont have that, pepsi, dont have that either, water? nope dont got that either but we do have a cow patty soda that "we" like and we think you should too, plus with the sand we serve your gunna need something to drink, besides  you've paid your bill already theres no refunds.  So choke to death or swollow what we offer,  or dont let the cyber door hit you in the arse on your way out if you dont like it.     sigh again......

thats my 2 cents and i still have 98 cents left to spend, I would burn the whole dollar but im getting depressed knowing ive already wasted 2 pennies on such BS that should not have occured.  imo.    :(  
 
   
once again thats all for now folks, have a great day  :)  be nice!

No they're not. Wasn't the ridiculous death star ack guns enough of a compromise for you guys? You have to have the whole game to suit your furballing? Can't you furball where the furball is without having to tell me I have to furball with you? Defend your bases, and presto, solution to your terrible problem.
Thank god it's an experiment, I salute you on at least that much hitech. I hate to say it but Forced Furballing would be a game killer for me.

I wouldn't look at as forced furballing...i'd look at it more as "if I want to take a base - i need to fight and organize to do it"

no more milkruns, or sneaking 40 planes noe to base....that has no chance of defense...


basically the pac-man land grab is being deferred...lol

No you don't have to furball Twitchy.  You might have to fight your way in to the field though.

Chances are, some of us air to air types would be happy to cover you so you don't have to shoot at anything.

You can bomb buildings to your hearts content.  We'll keep ya covered.

I can't believe you are that determined to attack em where they ain't all the time.

Thanks for your decidedly unrelated take on the situation though.  :rolleyes:


WoW, That's just a scary commentary on the education system today. In your published work do you have any paragraphs or is it one 200+ page paragraph?? :huh

If I milkrun or if I sneak, what's YOUR problem with it? How does how I play have anything to do with you? If you don't like milkrunning, don't friggin milkrun, if you don't like sneaking bases, don't sneak into them. If I don't like furballing or hitting bases where I know there's going to be crappy FPS and hoardes, then why should I have to? It's mindless forced furballing, anyway you slice it.

Twitchy is reminiscent of a Captain flailing his sword in defiance on a sinking ship.  

HiTech just served you a slice of "Your way doesn't work, it doesn't offer any stability to the arena", but yet you keep posting.   You're spunky, that's for sure.

I'll reserve the final judgment when I see how they implement this on large arenas.

So what we on now AHIII or AHIV:confused:

And you remind me of one of those gimps you see in the BDSM genre that jump up and down in sheer excitement every time the master cracks his whip at somebody.

A coordinated attack against a defended base is furballing?

Why do you play an online flight sim, if you don't want to play against the other players?

There have to be loads of offline games like that were you can strategize to your hearts content.

I've never known anyone to define "furballing" as the possibility of being fired upon.
