Shotgun range is really a lot shorter than some people seem to think. I have no problems beating pump action wielders even with the Ursa in biolabs simply by moving properly. It's really, really easy to stay in 2-shot range even inside the buildings and 2 shotgun shots is all the time i need to kill them instead. Shotguns are great at farming really, really bad players that charge right into your barrels or have no situational awareness and let you walk right up behind them but the competent players will abuse the shotgun weaknesses easily and kill you before you can get the second shot off or before you can get in instagib range. Only in the morning when there are many bad players online can i go on a rampage with the shotgun but in all other situations my trusty SVA-88 just performs a lot better. | ||

There were some attempts made by Cry Me A Reaver/ The Enclave to troll it. | ||

I'm not a huge fan of the lattice system. As Morf said last page, it's comparable to SC drops, and I love the give and take on Esamir/Amerish. I still like Indar (although the current VS warpgate is definitely my least favorite), but the lattice just doesn't satisfy me really. But I REALLY like the Alert system, which is new since the last time I played. The general sentiment of reaver pilots is mostly true - I rarely fear NC ESFs. I'm still trying to get my scythe skills back to what they were, but restocking everything I used to have is taking quite a bit of time. I find myself wanting to invest a ton into Acquisition Timer just because of how often I stupidly crash by myself. There are still a bunch of Mossie pilots that give me issues. Been playing with the Reddit crowd because that's who my brother in law plays with. Most of them are actually pretty entertaining, and there's always a bloodthirsty feeling whenever we're fighting The Enclave - most people announce when they kill BuzzCutPsycho just because it is such a good feeling, haha. I used to play HA a lot (and the Lancer is SO much fun), but I've settled into mostly maining Engi now. Been playing with the Eidilon a lot and actually really liking it. I have to keep reminding myself that I WILL get destroyed in closer combat - which is a glaring difference between Eidilon and Orion. All in all, I'm still really enjoying this game. Any VS on Mattherson, add me - Sunfoe. Any TR or NC, I'll gladly hunt you down ^.^ | ||

Only difference between these 2 is that reddit has more hackers. Hah TEST is an incredibly huge outfit (almost 1k members). I'm sure there are some hackers in it, but the regulars are pretty good guys. I've seen my fair share of hackers on your side, so don't get all high and mighty on me ;P If you see a VS medic named Ragglesnape, camp the hell out of him (my bro in law). | ||

I was seeing 80% VS population on Mattherson at some points, I don't know what's wrong with people. All of them were bad though. That's cool that you fly, I'm sure you'll run into me soon. I play Rahsun on Mattherson. Membership bonus + XP boost since I knew I'd be playing a lot. Hopefully I will run into you! (literally and figuratively) I don't really know which air frame to invest in. I only got so far as Dogfighting 1 on my old character, and that's where I'm at now. I've never played with Hover or Racer, so I'm not sure which should get all my certs... | ||

I think the real strengths of each frame is summed up by this: Dog fighting: best for fighting in 2v2 or larger fights, slowest Hover: Best for 1v1 with the reverse maneuver and for farming bad players with pods, medium speed Racer: Fastest, not sure on how racer works with reverse maneuver. Why do you use racer over the hover now Rah? | ||

The Dalton gunner I was talking about is T0rin. Selentic and Willterry in your outfit seem to be a pretty good lib crew though, but they act like douches so I haven't gotten to do a friendly duel with them to measure. Only squad vs squad fights. | ||

Even when I find a Reaver or Mossie seemingly caught alone, as soon as I engage I feel like their buddy is always on my tail =( I now have level 1 of Hover, Dogfighting, and Racer. It's hard to tell the differences between them all at level 1, so I'll be ranking them all up and figuring out what I like. | ||

 Also, for the fellow SMGfiltrators. What suit slot do you take? I'm tossing up between Nanoweave for the increased HP and Flak because grenades and mines fuck me over | ||

Every time I jump in one I just get blown out of the sky by someone who is either a better pilot (not that hard since I'm worse than terribad at flying lol) or by the 283462784 AA Max's that always seem to be around Also, for the fellow SMGfiltrators. What suit slot do you take? I'm tossing up between Nanoweave for the increased HP and Flak because grenades and mines fuck me over I tend to use Nanoweave since my #1 cause of death are bullets and it balances out the weaker shields of Infiltrators (400 instead of 500). I'm usually not in an area where grenades are a danger, i.e. on the sides of a battle, and i watch the ground carefully to see mines before i run into them. I consider flak to be more useful when you are in the center of a battle where there are so many bullets flying that nanoweave doesn't make a difference and where grenades are spammed by both sides. Classes that can be on the side of the battle and mostly engage 1v1 or attack enemy groups from the rear when they have no time to throw grenades, i.e. LA & Infiltrator, can really use that little extra health that nanoweave provides. | ||
