Gameplay / Noobie: Tar cloud, yes or no?
« on: March 12, 2015, 02:38:55 pm »
Ello all! As the subject says, I'm relatively new to this game. Started about 2 months ago, level 13 pilot (the main pilot of the crew I fly with.)
We typically fly the squid, one of our favorite ships even before the patch that buffed it. One of my favorite pilot tools to bring is the tar cloud. If somebody is directly behind us, I tar cloud them. If we're retreating and my enemies haven't marked me, I typically throw tar clouds if the engines are in good shape. Occasionally I'll even do offensive maneuvers with it, such as flying top speed past an enemy chasing my teammate and landing the cloud directly on them. I even have a few recorded kills from doing this in my statistics.
However, I barely see anyone else using the item. None of the ships I've fought ever throw tar clouds on me, and the one ship I even saw carrying it threw it purely defensively and never caught me team inside. Is it considered a more skill based weapon which isn't oft seen at low levels such as mine? Is it just bad in general?
