The speed difference isn’t massive. You have to close in on a CV while taking fire. If you fly straight at the CV you will get nuked so you need to zig zag which means it takes even longer.
It’s not exactly hard for a CV to kill an SV.
I find it really funny that everyone is suddenly acting like SVs are invincible and can ram CVs with impunity. It’s simply not true, nobody flew SVs in 4.x and 5.x because they are rubbish. HWS added planets that exclude CVs because SVs are such rubish that the only way to make them useful was to forbid CVs and force people to use SVs.
Yet here we are acting like SVs can just catch a CV with impunity.
Firstly, you have to collide on their screen, not yours. so just flying your SV at them won’t get the result you want. You have to predict their flight and fly ~5 seconds in front of them in the direction they’re going. Anyone with half a brain can avoid getting hit by an SV.
Secondly, ramming an SV against a CV causes massive damage to the SV so it’s not like you have the ability to ram indefinitely.
Yea it’s like a dinghy stopping a huge ocean liner, one of those cargo ships, just by getting close to it, LOL. This is hilarious anyone defending this BS.
You guys keep making this argument and it’s super dumb. It’s a private server run by a 3rd party admin. When he makes the decision to classify something as not an exploit that’s the end of the discussion.
You sound like a sovereign citizen yelling “I don’t have to obey the laws because I don’t recognize the government as a valid authority!”
No. That’s not how it works. When you join a community you agree to abide by the rules laid down by the leaders. If you don’t like it go play somewhere else.
Or learn what appeal to authority means. Either way is fine.
Clearly you don’t know what it means. We have taken the issue to the actual authority which is the game devs. In the mean time we are asking Rexxus to prevent this exploit from being used on the server. Saying “the devs did it, therefore they must’ve intended it.” Is a ludicrous argument and could’ve been used for any number of exploits since 2.0. And regardless of what you think community members have the freedom to discuss the issue. You don’t get to dictate that. I suggest if you don’t like what is being discussed you can freely remove yourself from said discussion. Or find another forum. Either way is fine.
“Stephen Hawking is a renowned astrophysicist and says vaccines cause autism. He’s smart so it must be true.”
That doesn’t work because he’s a physicist, not a doctor and it’s not his field of expertise.
Not a fallacy:
“Stephen Hawking is a renowned astrophysicist and says that black holes lose mass over time.”
This is in his area of expertise and he can prove it. Not an appeal to authority.
That’s the difference. I understand the difference and you don’t.
Furthermore, this is not an Eleon server. This is HWS. Rexx has made the call it’s not an exploit and it’s his server. If you want to play on a server with the rule set made by Eleon you are free to play on the official server. Otherwise, rexx has the final say and, no, that’s not appeal to authority.
