GG to Feyd, FierceFalcon, Oogie Boogie, Vigor, Dutchy, Smoker, Juang and everyone else tonight!
Ditto, good games Feyd, Fierce, Dutchy, and countless others. Thank you
Haha, yeah Feyd was being funny and went in a side winder, and I actually had to fight him to keep him from winning, I was laughing so hard. GG
Good games today Artysu. It's disappointing though, I feel like they're all decided by who spawns closest to the powerup
Unfortunately I did not have Shadowplay running in the background, recently updated my nVidia drivers and forgot to turn it back on, the match went unrecorded
. I have a couple others recorded on my channel though, this is actually the 5th 25 kill TDM I've had.

GGs Artysu, Curtis, Rift Pilot!
GGs Prophet, Steenpass, FierceFalcon and you countless others. You guy rock.
I am playing with the notion that the nimble ships like the condor and imp can survive too long before exploding from overheating while using silent running for an extended period PLUS also heavily firing beam lasers. Sometimes it feels like that mechanic may need more balancing. Not enough good silent running pilots (like Dutchy) about for me to get a better personal opinion of this yet though.
I was getting bored with the usual imp fighter/beams/chaff/over clocked shield/booster combo. Plus there seemed to be a whole slew of heat sink popping eagles about that just fly backwards and spiral. I went hey I can do that better with silent running. Honestly its not better than the usual combo if you look at K/D ratio, but it does make for a nice surprise for when they drop your shields. Unfortunately for me we only fought on the one map where shields boost are close, so when you popped your chaff and I had you with your pants down, you could just boost run to a shield and I would overheat before I could kill you.
So you are saying silent running is too good? My current build I specifically am using pulse lasers and one cycle shields to reduce my heat generation at the cost of damage dealing. If I use beams within seconds I am at 200+ percent and I will likely explode before killing more than 2 people. I am thinking they should make the condor run cooler vs imp fighter to make it a real choice between imp fighter agility vs condor cooler running. Most people will simply use the imp fighter + chaff, but the condor would have an advantage with silent running. The problem with the condor right now is that the profile is too big so its easy to hit even with silent running.
I am not sure that it is too good, but it definitely changes the balance of power in a joust situation, especially once shields go down on both sides. Silent running in a shields down situation is > than chaff and lasts longer. If feels like it outlasts chaff by a significant amount in that situation, and that is what makes it feels like it may need more balancing for me. I am not sure though. Have not done any tests on this myself.
I see I managed to convince you to try it

lol yes. It felt like the only way to even the playing field. I felt like I could not fight back using chaff anymore. Took two matches to get my config right, but things felt better once I had everything set up right. It takes some getting used to, but it does have its appeal. I'll experiment with it some more.
ggs as usual.

GG Curtis
some great matches there .... I really need to watch my lateral thrust and stop running into stuff sidways
Yes, that was a lot of fun! GGs.
It certainly seems to be working for you, though since I can't beat you when you use chaff either it's not a great test... Interesting to try, though.
