Title: Elvish Pillager's Mod (EP-Mod) Tactics
Post by: Valaggar on February 23, 2007, 02:09:32 pm
This thread, of course, is meant for discussing tactics for EP-Mod (http://uqm.stack.nl/forum/index.php?topic=3465.msg43826#msg43826).

For example, one of the very deep ships now is the EP-Androsynth, whose bubbles and blazer have been merged and an all-powerful laser added. Now there are three attacks for this ship: classic blazing, bubbleblazing (blaze around the opponent and swarm him with the EP-bubbles) AND dual-laser assault.
This means that a fight with this ship could look like that:
- The 'Synth charges unto his enemy in blazer form.
- Hits a few times, then misses and starts to circle around his enemy.
- The bubbles he emits chop his enemy apart. The 'Synth's energy end, his enemy is crippled and on the run.
- The all-mighty Androsynth gloriously charges and engages his laser cannons. With a loud "BOOM!", his opponent becomes history.

A good general tactic for all the ships.  Just sit and wait until your opponent pinballs themselves off the planets to death.  ::)

What's your contingency plan for when the opponent comes at you with weapons blazing?

Oh baby, just play as Kohr-Ah. Launch a few discs just out a bit and let gravity and homing take over haha.

Of course, the real pain is when a VUX limpets you.  Even if you manage to kill the VUX off,  any limpits will make it a pain to try and get out of a planets gravity haha.

The only ships that make me sad are the Torch and the Skiff. Frankly, the Skiffs "special" is a little crappy to me. And the Torch losing its speed is a bit of a pain, although if I did have the afterburners, melee would be a lot more like pinball haha!
