Anti noob habit tips on tip box
« on: September 30, 2015, 05:41:55 am »
"No burst is not good on gatling gun. Anyone that says so is a liar even if they actually believe it."

"No inci ammo is not good for close range hwacha"

"Of course mallet is great on a gunner. If you like your guns broken for most of the match and like to die with no means to defend yourself in time."

come on. Surely us vets have seen little habits new players tend to do.

"Having chem and extinguisher is great way to save the ship from fire! But together what will you do when something actually breaks or gets damaged?"

If you don't know if it is a good time to ram an enemy ship, don't ram it.

Back in my AI flame squid days there was the occasional experienced player who announced they're bringing both chem and extinguisher. They didn't stand a chance.

Get off your gun every reload and repair. Stay off the gun until it's almost ready. If it gets hit by any shatter weapon immediately get off and repair even in the middle of shooting. Don't be on a damaged gun.

Constantly burn engines until you don't need to.

If you want to change class during match leave and rejoin from your recent list, pressing resume doesn't work. This is an "anti-cheating" measure.

Ask what ammo you should use in guns. Gunners always bring wrench.

I actually find burst on gat decent. Not good, but decent. Big difference!

Makes me think of a tip that might help me a little...

Why teach people to use decent ammo when you can teach the exact best for every given scenario? None of which is burst on gatling.

Don't use burst gat. It isn't viable in any situation. Burst light carro however is useful and increases dps despite not having an aoe radius. It's not a primary ammo but if you're an engi and already have burst, use it.
