The Docks / Re: The Cephalopods are now recruiting!

Man, everyone's so serious...
Well, let me just say that The Cephalopods don't really exist as a clan yet, with the amount of members we have.
To be more specific about the direction of the clan itself, I don't see it every being particularly large or influential, but rather a smaller group of players that may participate in something competitive once in a while if we feel like it.
It might seem like I'm not taking this clan seriously enough, and perhaps I should make that more clear, but if people don't like it they're free to leave and if people don't want to join they don't have to. And if the clan grows and the members start to disagree with my direction and my attitudes as a leader, I will either change or pass on the role of clan leader to someone else.

I'm gonna ruin the fun by asking this one question that I consider important for any sort of clan



What kind of a clan is this? Or more specifically, are you considering to participate in competitive events at any point in the future?

I would like to participate in competitive events as a team with this clan, but with our low number of members right now (4) and lack of anyone especially notable I can't say anything for sure.
It definitely isn't a serious clan, but I really don't know much about what it'll become in the future.

Instead of circling a Pyramidion with a Squid, you could try to use superior vertical mobility or try to just fly past it and use your back gun on it or just turn your front gun back in arc much quicker than the Pyramidion could ever hope to.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I just think that you shouldn't have to do that when turning speed is supposed to be the Pyra's greatest weakness. That strategy should be reserved for ships with higher turning speed.

Alright. I'm a squid pilot. And this has been a rather large source of frustration for me.

On a squid, you are controlling your own position far more an any other ship. For example, if I am circling a Pyramidion.
In this case, because I am taking a much wider circle around the Pyra than he is turning to follow me, I receive negligible advantage from the Pheonix Claw while he gets enough turning speed from it to
follow me exactly. The gun arcs on the Pyramidion are fairly wide, so in all likelyhood I am dead in a few seconds.

This is a huge disadvantage to more maneuverable ships, especially the Squid, which is a ship that definitely needs some more love.
This is why I think that the Phoenix Claw needs a nerf: you shouldn't be able to use that thing to indefinitely keep up with a squid. Helm tools should mitigate ship weaknesses, not eliminate them entirely.

We're a small, friendly clan, looking for new members.
Don't have to be especially experienced, just have to play the game fairly often and be willing to learn, although super pro MLG level 860 players are appreciated.
To apply, just post your timezone and how often you play. I'll fly with you to determine your approximate coolness level, and if it passes my (totally super high) standards, you're in.

The Docks / Re: Hey there GoI! Do you like Cake?

« on: January 01, 2014, 02:06:23 am »

Hey, I'd like to apply for Cake. I'm a level 4 pilot, and I wouldn't say I'm good, but I'm not too bad either. I love using flamethrowers and look forward to hopefully becoming a Pastrie.
