Clarification
« on: January 17, 2010, 07:34:53 AM »
Ok, I've actually figured out how to keep a fighter level, and (believe it or not) shoot someone down. While playing in the MA, I've noticed that there seems to be some unwritten rules. Don't KS, don't HO, that sort of thing. In trying to comply, I finally just gave up and made up my own rules.

If you turn into me head-on, I play chicken. If I see a flash I open up. It seems that most of the fights I've seen have been ho, pass, turn, ho, pass, turn, ho. (That's why I play chicken and open up now)

Check 6 as often as I can. If another pilot is chasing a runner, shadow but don't engage. Check if other pilot needs help or not. If friendly is being chased, don't ask just dive.

Don't shoot burning bombers.

My question is, how far off am I? I want to be a respectable pilot, are these respectable actions?

Pretty much the way it goes, rarely will you find a guy who won't try to Ho anymore.

Everyone has a different stance here, I figure a better thing to do would ask everyone how they play then you decide the average.

I hardly ever HO, some people HO in gang bangs I dont because I feel like it leads to bad habits. I try not to gang bang, sometimes I dont see the other 2 guys behind me trying to kill the same guy due to tunnel vision ect. I ask people to join a fight, something like "Hey buddy you need help?" is what Ill ask. I salute anyone who salutes me, it isnt that hard to .s name, keeps the community friendly ;). Ill talk crap to anyone who talks crap to me or my sqaud, other then the people in my sqaud I dont know about anyone outside of the game so I stay away from judging character of the person.(kinda my pet peeve of this community :rolleyes: ) I fly luft most often, I like the dogfighting part of the game but I do all of it from time to time, especially whirbs on my last couple times I got to play :noid .


yea alittle about myself..... :salute....

Junky if you go to watch-movies-online.tv you can watch almost any movie you want. Most of the selections are good quality. For the op I fly pretty much just how you stated. I get along with almost everybody and most get along with me. I do talk trash to a pilot if they are running from a fight though. I think that is something I need to work on, but I can't stand when ppl run from a fight in a cartoon world. If the person tells me they are rtb due to ammo, damage, or fuel I will give them a <S> and be on my way. <S> sir and GL.

What in reality happens is that you can't stomach the idea that another player chose not to engage with you and denied a fight from you therefore beating you in his tactics. This makes you mad because you think everyone else should play the way you think they should (junkyII phenomenon).

When this happens and you start getting stressed over non-existent rules on MA, its time to have a short break and come back refreshed.

There are no rules in the MA.  Plain and simple.  Do what you feel is right.

There is a differentiation though between those who play the game for sport, those who play for the glory of their name in lights, those who play to live and those who play to win the war at any cost.  And then of course you have the noobs trying for any kill they can get.  Decide which group you fit in and play accordingly.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I don't understand why somebody would not want to fight in a fighting game. If they extend out and come back with the advantage that is fine as long as they come back and fight, I just don't like seeing the ones who see a person with a slight advantage and decide oh I am gonna run and just not go back. IMO that is lame it is a game what can it hurt you. I think the ones who do this are score potatos they can play the game like they want. As for as me getting stressed out over that. It doesn't happen you assume that I do, and I think you know what assume stands for. The reason I talk crap is so hopefully I can get the person to turn and fight if not oh well, it is their loss for they will never get better running from fights.
