  1. To all of those saying you can simply freeze/dcl rocket it and use slow mines - it just doesn't cut it. You'd have to be pretty lucky to land all of those and it'd only work if the opponent can't really play properly himself. Face any good player in a tart and he's more than likely to just shoot you from a distance, emp when he finds himself slowed/frozen and probably run enough shields so you can't just shoot him down in a couple of seconds even if you're hitting ~100k whites.
    The other and, in my opinion, greater problem with the ship is that it just renders essentially all of the vengeance ships and the spearhead useless - as stated above, the tartarus is just a more durable and faster pusat, it really makes no sense to me. And while I certainly wouldn't recommend removing the ship entirely since that'd be unfair towards those who have bought it, I strongly believe it should be changed in one way or another (personally I believe 621 speed normally and 644? (don't really remember the exact number) is way too much - make it as fast as a pusat or spearhead but not faster (heck, no other ship can even catch up to it even in wheel while the tart is just running a normal formation (spear&pusat only go 618 /w wheel)
    Edit: while I still haven't seen anyone flying one of the new craftable ships on my server yet, I can address the same issue to them - one is just essentially a better aegis, the other a better venom....it's doesn't make any sense to me - if you want to sure, incorporate new ships into the game, but at least come up with something fresh and new, not just a better copy of an already existing one

    use infection ammo wisely and u can beat any tartarus.
     
  3. Assuming they don't just run away with wheel of course.
     
  4. The speed boost on Tart is a toggle skill "on/off switch" and you cant fly with it off since fe speed with promi is 444 which makes a few spears its worst enemy. Also another counter for tart is Goliath X.

    Realistically its all about how good the players are with the ships. Granted there could be some re-balancing but I can evade an army in my cit simply because I have the ammo to do so.

    I used jmax in a tart and it did nothing (spear is OP) but even if it did it would only conter it for 5 seconds as there is no cooldown for tart speed.
    That iluminaty chaped junk is the 2nd worst thing they added to the game recently. Positive side is the game is so messed up that more mess is hardly noticiable :rolleyes:
     
  6. Yes but alot can happen in 5 seconds and normally spear hunters are in a group ;). And "Illuminati" lol.
