The Tartaran Empire - Recruiting

[Equilibrium21]

Not this time. I've passed some rules of warfare onto the CR to make sure we can avoid such things.

It's good to see that someone is supporting roleplay battles or if you don't like the term roleplay battles then a Organized battle term sounds better (Battles without kiting or randomly ramming ships that cause the servers to go crazy).

Just a heads up kiting is a tactic commonly used to avoid damage taken by maneuvering out of your opponents cone of fire. It should not be confused with type of kiting you are imagining which involves running away to another sector.

Personally, I occasionally use sniper ships with high thrust to stay away from enemies' main guns while putting out damage that way. It is a legitimate tactic - if an infuriating one for the slower ship.

that is what I do at times.

Though I'm neither in TE nor CR, perhaps allowances could be made for missile spam against kiters? It might be a problem of ship design, but it can definitely be worked around by allowing for a more even playing field. Backing into an asteroid or lagging across a sector border could give the chasing ship an opportunity to turn over the battle, and kiting can be used to lead ships into traps.

Perhaps instead of using a generic term, you guys could agree upon a set maximum engagement range?

 

[Incap]

I'd prefer no kiting, because of sector changes. This has been a problem in the past, with multiple sector changes causing crashes. For a 1v1 skirmish between smaller ships are fine. But with capital class ships it's a bit of a problem. I'm just looking to reduce server lag.

 

[Keptick]

Kitting as you define it isn't really a problem on servers like Elwyn which have 10km large sectors. That's also why I think that default server size should be set at 5km.

 

[TwoNiner]

So if you eliminate kiting, am I correct to say that I should expect your ships to attack mine in only a head on tactic, and that they should in no way attempt to dodge my main weapons?

 

[Winterhome]

Alright - so... At least attempt to stay in-sector or something, if it's that big of a problem.

What distance would you consider to be a victorious retreat?

 

[Keptick]

Isn't pulling back to allow shields/power to recharge for a sec or two before charging back in a valid tactic?

Besides, kitting on sector edges shouldn't be confused with strafing.

 

[TwoNiner]

Just a note, it doesn't really benefit the CR in anyway if kiting were to be allowed, because we would much rather take TE ships head on in a fight.

 

[Keptick]

It kind of renders ships that rely more on higher agility to get in a target's dead zone useless. I don't think that completely denying a certain playstyle is the right thing to do. But then again, both your factions favor "brute" type ships. Heavy weapons and shielding with lower agility.

 

[TwoNiner]

Most of our ships are indeed gank and tank, however we do field ships with separate roles during fleet ops, example X tanks paired with Z main DPS carries and Y DPS supports.

Would you kindly take this discussion to a thread for discussion or take it in a pm?
This thread is for applications and announcements.

 

[Leanson]

I think it is time for us to have a fleet battle. Talk to two to discuss a time.

Those super sentries look badass! Who made them?

 

[kiwionthemoon]

@MrTargareyan made them. Im suprised you even got close enough to see them. Most people just crash

 

[Nauvran]

Kiwi I would rather say that it's Hades that gets people to crash.
But oh Well, I guess it depends on what kind of Ship you arive in mad How your pc performs.
