No Sylla?

No Flamer?

No Harpoon?

that was just a quick solo video. the guns I didnt show were more complicated to demonstrate alone

What the heck is a Sylla?

If you have multiple it's a Fire Hammer

General Discussion / Re: I get the impression I have a strange crew

« on: June 03, 2013, 10:37:43 pm »

If you are loading out a ship for the comfort of the pilot why not just let the pilot make the ship? Also as others have mentioned, you are making it a bit tough for any sort of team coordination. The captain is the one who can speak and hear the other captain. Pilot generally have the best awareness of what the ship is doing, not the engineer. So any coordination between you and your teammate has to go through you as a filter while you are working to keep the ship together. Let me illustrate by giving two a same hypothetical scenario with two different settings.



Brooding Shenanigans
-A Comedy by Sammy B. T.

We come into the scene, a fresh battle taking place above the frozen mountains and cliffs in the Northen Fjords

Enter two ships, materializing out of thin air, the mighty Admiral Quackbar, piloted and captained by the dashing Sammy B. T.; and the perfectly adequate Duck Face, piloted and captained by Jaceboojah.

They begin separated as the Fjords are wont to do. The Duckface is relatively isolated but sees a chance to quickly engage an enemy spire.

Sammy B. T. on Captain Chat: Hey Jace, what are we thinkning?
Jaceboojah on Captain Chat: I see a spire for a quick engage, if you rush we can take this.
Sammy b. T. on Captain Chat : Roger that, Kerosening over.

Face filled with resolution Sammy begins to address the crew.

Sammy B. T. on Crew Chat: Kerosening in, keep engines up, we are going for a quick engage. Get engines buffed first, anticipate left guns.

Crew mutters various responses as they get to work. The Duckface engages and takes momentarily the brunt of the attack from the two enemy ships, however the Admiral Quackbar is able to swoop on the unsuspecting Spire and gets a quick kill. Reunited the  two Brood ships make quick work of the second enemy ship.

All Ducks: Quack Quack

The game continues with countless other quick tactical calls. Brood wins 5-0, crushing another group of pubbers.





Now lets check out a different setting

Brooding Shenanigans
-A Tragedy by Sammy B. T.

We come into the scene, a fresh battle taking place above the frozen mountains and cliffs in the Northen Fjords

Enter two ships, materializing out of thin air, the mighty Admiral Quackbar, piloted by the dashing Sammy B. T and capatained by old man Sylas Firehammer; and the perfectly adequate Duck Face, piloted and captained by Jaceboojah.

They begin separated as the Fjords are wont to do. The Duckface is relatively isolated but sees a chance to quickly engage an enemy spire.

Simultaneously speaking to Sylas, JaceBoojah and Sammy B. T. begin to speak.

Jaceboojah on Captain Chat: I see a spire for a quick engage, if you rush we can take this.
Sammy B. T. on Crew Chat: Jace has spawned isolated, moving to his current position, heading down and to the right.

Sylas, tries and process the two audios coming in to him as he buffs the engines, he messes up the prebuff and buffs one twice.

Sylas on Captain Chat: Roger that. pause as he changes voice chat and begins buffing the second engine Belay that! Jace is going to move in for the quick hit on the spire, rush in for a quick backup.
Jaceboojah on Captain Chat: Wrong chat Sylas.
Sylas on Captain Chat: Crap

Sylas agains misses the prebuff on the next engine

Sylas on Crew Chat: Belay that! Jace is going to move in for the quick hit on the spire, rush in f...
Jace interrupting on Captain Chat: Engaging Spire, where are you?
Sylas on Crew Chat: Jace charging, you charge too
Sylas on Captain Chat: We're coming soon.

Sammy begins to change course, though he had already dipped low and veered far to the side, heading to where Jace had spawned. Jace engages but without the speed arrival of the Quackbar he is defeated just in time for the Quackbar to arrive and be double teamed.

All Ducks: Grrrrrr.

The game continues as such with poor timed coordination and difficulty in focusing fire in time to match firepower. Pubbers win 5-0










I hope this indulgent  story taught a lesson.

Go back to burning skies you hippy!

It's been almost a month sense I posted this semi rant.  I have delved deeper into the gat/flak stratagem and now instead of just pointing the gat/flak at an enemy and expecting a kill (like I wrote before), I coach my gunners (if they can hear me or care). 

The captain is the coach of the team, you have to learn every inch of the game and get creative too. 
Just by talking to my gunners more, and in a very nice way, my ship efficiency in pub matches has gone way up.

More than better, Second place better.

Dabblers and Divers, feathered fowl and flappy footed, Quack Quack Ducks! This is a Pond Announcement:

If you are a captain on The Paddling, Brood or Raft (you know who you are), please don't apply to this for at least 48 hours after signups open. There's only two spots for Quackers and it would be best to let some new bloods try their hand.

I appreciate the extra duckiness you put in to that.

Is the group defunct? Should I take it down?

I'd say that's up to Jace. I mean if anyone asked to join we'd probably have to give them a sad and long speech about achievements, breadcrumbs and suicide. So to me is defunct.

« on: May 31, 2013, 02:11:58 pm »

First user name EVER was on RuneScape. It was BobBongBob1. I was in the second grade, and I wanted it to be Bob BOING Bob like the onomatopoeia for a ball bouncing, but I spelled it wrong. Also I didn't even NEED to put the one, I just added it because I was stupid and in second grade. So people ended up thinking I was a stoner because my name was bobBONGbob everywhere.

Eventually I realized that that was a stupid name and I started going by MitchBoojah, because that's what Jace(my brother) used in everything. We played alot of XBoy back then he was JaceBoojah I was MitchBoojah his girlfriend was RenneBoojah so everyone knew we were together. After watching Trigun (which is an anime, I recommend watching it) the main character's name is Vash, I loved the sound of the name and loved the anime, so I would put my name as Vash... Vash was taken on almost everthing, and I didn't want to be a VASH1233423546475763487652. So the way I got the Fight Boy is that I was doing community service that had to do with Acting, and I would tell people my name is Vash if they didn't know me for fun, and people kept suggesting the  Fight Boy character to me. "Vash should be Fight Boy, Fight Boy Vash" FIGHTBOYVASH

That was long and not completely on topic, but there's the story of my name and my first gaming names.

I blame Shink for the nerfed Artemis.

I blame him for thinking Sunderland was a girl.

She... I mean, he ain't? Damn, my fantasies need to be reformed. I blame Shink for it.
