Is it me or is ther a major influx of people getting rammed more lately due to the fact of a large number of Noobs. Was defending a base yesterday and was rammed many times. These were guys never heard of so figured NOOBS. Was rammed by the same guy 3 times at one base. This Noob made it an effort to pull up into me everytime I broke off. Started spraying 2 out. Is it just me?

It is really hard to ram intentionally...

Remeber that what you see and they see is different...



It sounds like you would be the red player in the pic above

Never the less I have experienced more ramming incidents of late, but I do not think they were intentional

Ghost, alot of these new guys all want to take the easy way out.  It gets old with the hordes of Lgays, and spits flown by people you know can fly.  Anyone can yank n bank all day and run away all day in these planes... stay an fight!  I don't mind getting shot down by anyone until it comes it becoming dweebing.  Alot of it is just simple stuff too.  Bailing out and sitting in the map room with the .45, the run and shoot the goon and bail... or as you have been saying the rams, ho's and dweebish crap.  No one wants a 1 on 1 anymore... or a 2 on 2....  makes the game boring.:furious

Yea, had that happen a few times to me. Had one guy, HO me, then pull straight into my wing when his HO missed! i was very peed off, but hey, its a game. Something annoys you? Just log and do something very relaxing! It works, when youve calmed down, log back on and play again!

Well guys when the emphasis has gone from a fighter ideology to a base capture ideology, win at all cost becomes the mantra.  And while that is imperative in real life, it is far from what makes a game fun.

when I joined up this game was about fighting planes against each other and everyone strove to be a great pilot and to fight a great fight.  Now this whole idea is mocked as in the weather thread.  Some are even ignorant enough to call it air quake.  Well those have gotten exactly what they have sown.  A community of newbs that know little about fighter combat and will try to win at all cost.  

Change your own mentality and change the rest of the community one at a time.  

And no, I do not discount the win the war game, but I do discount it's mentality.  :aok

I think the increase in rams is more to do with the micro-warping that affecting everyone than anything else.

If you see orange text its your own damn fault.

I done that very same thing involving you once, I chased you at 16k in a corsair, you ran (extended) for about a sector until I saw another pony coming in behind me, you then Reversed and one of  the two  of you finally got me, so yes, it does get annoying, especially when I was trying to get into land and the "you have collided with mcloeod " part came up, so you both must have been pulling a lot of high g's in the quest to kill said corsair.
I just logged after that and gave myself a few weeks break and done something else to relax.
Please don't take it personal, I've probably done it too, but your name popped up on here and I remembered..

I dont mind ram tards, they just blow up when they hit me and i get the kill, there is no way to actualy ram someone in this game and cause them damage so whats the problem?   The only true ram tards out there are ones who make BBS threads about how they are getting rammed.
