Q&A / Ramming Question

« on: September 09, 2013, 01:34:38 pm »

I'm looking at the Pilot achievement to "Destroy 20 parts with ramming," and I'm not exactly sure how this is supposed to work. I feel like I've been directing my Pyra into engine banks, guns, and balloons, but I never seem to actually destroy anything (aside from occasionally the whole ship: my kill ramming is pretty good).

Is ramming a more finicky mechanic than I think it is, or am I doing something incorrectly? I'd love to get to the point where I could reliably take out engines with a collision, but I'm really having issues with it.

Any tips?

Looks good, DMaximus. The main images do distort on window resize though, but that's a minor point (sorry...I do a bit of web and graphic design myself, so I nitpick  )

Great flying with you today, by the by. Hope to catch you again!

...and I still need to catch Zill or Shinkurex for more than a game or two. I should get on that.

In Game Name: The Djinn
Steam Name (can be given later through PM): The Djinn (http://steamcommunity.com/id/TheDjinn)
Preferred Class: Haven't had enough game experience to really say. I'm drawn to the role of Pilot, but haven't yet mustered the resolve to fly in a pub game without a crew I can rely on not to harass me for beginner mistakes. Maybe I'll bite the bullet and do that tonight.


If you were a cow headed to slaughter, and the farmers decided to keep 10 cows back. What would you do to be a part of that 10?

If we're assuming I'm a cow capable of non-ordinary cow actions, then why do only 10 get to live? I'd get inspirational: we're a herd of heavy animals with the ability to stampede. This massacre doesn't have to happen. Rise up against your farmer oppressors! Better to lose five comrades in glorious battle than all but ten by our own inaction! To arms, brethren! To arms! ...well, to hooves actually, but you get the idea.


Random Aside

I'll readily admit to being very new to this game: I've been playing less than a week. That said, I a team-oriented player coming from a bunch of other team games (TF2, L4D2, League of Legends), and so I'm really big on having a community of guys I know I can ask questions, play with, and learn from. Hence why I'm applying as such a new player, rather than waiting until I have more pub game experience. Hope that isn't an issue for you guys: this group looks great, especially since it seems you actually vet people for personality and teamwork ability rather than just accepting everyone. I really like the idea of a clan that actually makes sure that being part of that clan is a good experience for everyone involved. Great job!

I also hope my tendency to use "Port" and "Starboard" won't get on anyone's nerves: for some reason I just can't say "Left" and "Right" when I'm on an airship.
