What exactly is the topic at this point? I've been so lost and confused by this thread for last 15 pages.
Definitely not what the last page was about. That wasn't even remotely PvP or Elite related.
Still confused? Click that page 1 button. Read the OP. If you can't find a topic there, this thread is not for you (general you btw).

Hope that clears it for everyone.
 
I completely agree. The secret sauce in positive mmo experiences is truly the social interaction in my opinion. The actual jumping, loading screen, staring at daggers and circles on the FSS couldn't be more awful. But they have developed player driven events along the way.
Agreed.[/QUOTE]

What I miss most in my old school mmo experiences were the guild vs guild or server vs. server battles. Rivalries, prizes, politics, strategy, all between large numbers of players at the same time. Some squads would specialize in harassment and feints while larger units would go for large objectives. Solo players could attack supply lines or snare recently killed players trying to rejoin the major groups. All of it linked through teamspeak. Good times. Wish this game had the server architecture and tools to offer those settings.

Interesting points, and I agree.

ah, good old visceral hate between horde and alliance! that was healthy and fun.

games today have to adapt to players not tolerating loss. it's a whole different era now. those games are still made today, but they are indy or complete niches, irrelevant in the context of the entertainment industry.

Drag is about psychological warfare and breaking your opponents workflow and concentration, as opposed to literally slowing you down. In other words, it's only really relevant when you're trying to shoot back.

It also really screws over Mamba Pilots. Locks them right up.

Most people use them in conjunction with plasma. Drag seeker a faster target as he is jousting with you, it binds his thrusters up just long enough to get a full plasma salvo off and hit him with it and if you are good and fast enough, you might be able to avoid incoming fire as well during the joust.

I am talking from the prospective of a slow gunship pilot

My time zone is great as most of the gankers are asleep on weekends and during the week they need to go to work or school, yay for me. I did once decide to stay up until the UTC "schools were out", what a toxic environment, i.e. two of them against me in a encounter, yes I got hammered, that'll teach to stay up past my bed time.
