Masslock of anaconda

xslam

We have discovered that game give no way to masslock the anaconda other than usage of another one. I would not belive in it if someone told me about that.

This means that if you want to kill an anaconda you should bring another one. Anaconda is an impunity license.

And if they see hunter's anaconda they used solo-logoffski. Thus even carrot itself is not panacea.

So an Asp should also mass lock the Conda in addition to every other ship in the game sans the dropship?

Kek.

There is a reason why one conda rarely engages another. They both hold each other down, and its a bloody fight no matter how many people support one of the two. Both condas are not walking away without massive repairs if not dead.

I think masslock is being reworked?
Would make a lot more sense if the masslock effect was something like (Enemy Ship mass/Your ship mass)/(Distance*Distance).

To complex.

Value compared to Value within range. If less then, no lock. Greater or equal to, locked.

Values are pre set, and do not change with mass.

Anaconda's mass is 400, t9 mass is 1000, but it doesn't masslock the carrot.

I have a suggestion.
Each ship should have masslock factor ann masslock defence. Masslock factor shoul be calculated in this way: MLF/MLD= final factor.
For carrot factor should be 30, and 3 def, so carrot should lock other carrot with factor 10 and cobra with factor 3.3

And masslock factors from different ships should summarize with each other

Mass is irrelevant to mass lock. You don't know how the mechanic currently works.

Again, I doubt Frontier is going to overhaul this mechanic to be any more complex then what it is.

Also, its not a carrot.

Fun fact, T9 is mass locked by the Asp.

Despite of this, neither clipper nor huge T9 can masslock the carrot.

Both of those ships share the same value as the Asp.

Size and mass has nothing to do with it. Look around, I'm sure you can find documentation on the matter.

Down to basic physics... the biggest mass wins the fight. Maybe its time for a mass-lock device that can be carried by smaller ships?

No.

If you want to kill an Anaconda you bring two Anacondas. Why would you think any different? No other ship is capable going 1 on 1 with an Anaconda and survive, exscept of course another Anaconda and even then one Conda will die and the other will be severely bruised - it's just the way it is. My air-rifle will ALWAYS beat your sword, no matter how fancy you swing your sword about, I'll still shoot you in the eye from beyond sword's reach. In other words, bring the right tool for the job and don't complain that the tool you have does not work: Get another tool that does.

Prove it before posting. Are you ready for it?

So... your Viper should also lock an Anaconda ? The ''Viper should solo a Conda" thread is that way ------>

What? What exactly does he have to prove? That two condas are equal and neither of them would run away knowing that if they did so they would lose?

Really?

Conda V Conda is about deterrence. One does not do it, simply because both parties lose at the end of the day.

I think mass lock should be a factor of the FSD size rather than the physical mass of your ship. Afterall there must be some crazy physics going on in there so makes more sense to me for one drive to affect the other to more or less of a degree.

Then again it's all science fiction so it could just be down to the number of squirrels on board

If he has a carrot he should prove that he can hold against ships other than carrot. :cool:

I don't like it, as it can't catch any fast ship, can't kill them. But if balance remains in current state soon we face with anaconda pirates whose will live around stations and killing nothing but traders. And they will be invincible as they just logoffsky if they see hostile anaconda.
