I feel like this picture described it pretty well.

In his defense, that game lasted under 5 minutes, we slaughtered that one junker for like five kills, we got all seven kills, and we always managed to kill them suspiciously quickly.

It's okay. People will always cry foul when they don't understand how a game works and it is used against them to full effect.

I remember, years ago, when Jedi Knight 2 was at it's peak, I used to play multi player death matches with Squash. There was a force power called 'force sense' that makes you 100% immune to being hit by a sniper rifle beam. Your character does a little 'twitch' and you dodge the laser. Well, we always had that power on, and after a few attempts by a sniper at killing either of us. He confidentially called us some variation of cheating hacking scum and that he's like, totally going to report us to the admin and stuff. It was pretty amusing.

My point is: Stuff like this happens, and it's usually pretty funny. ;)
Being called an exploiter by the uninformed usually means you are doing something right.

lolol true, I definitely think he didn't know what was going on, he must have been new, but I can see how one ship getting all seven kills in under five minutes can seem suspicious if you've never played before.

If nobody has any objections I feel this should be moved to the lounge. It's not really adding to or facilitating the discussion of balance but it also deserves a place on the forums somewhere.

Well, what can I say about this incident.  Gatling strips the armour faster than you can repair it and then an Echidna-armed gunner with a decent aim wrecks the hull before you can get the armour back up - current Meta explained.

Personally speaking, if I had been our opponents, I'd have been infinitely more annoyed by the subsequent Lumberfish domination match that followed..

Whenever I'm new to a game and I see someone obliterate a whole bunch of people in really short order I tend to hold my tongue because, chances most likely are that this person simply knows what they're doing.

And maybe they should be learned from.

Now, if fire is raining down from the sky at the same time, then yeah I might start to think something is up.
