[UI] Abolishing The age of Rockets (R-IC3)

The (R-IC3) takes the fun out the game...
when trying to evade 20 players that are all shooting (R-IC3) rockets at you, that is spamming them. So, yeah... They got to go. Makes it hard for a player to have any skill with these rockets... Example the other day during SB; I could have escaped many times from a multitude of players chasing me trying to kill me they couldn't catch me in my vengi, its not as fast as it use to be but I can more less get away... These clans USE Team Speak so its easy to put out an order to spam me with (R-IC3)... I see about 10 slow rockets coming at me.... I get hit, I hit a emp and cloak, I start to do my evade maneuvers and then I get hit 10 more times with R-IC3s before I can even move I can not use the afterburner because it's on cool down and its hard these days to out run some of these Goliath now that are just about as fast as the vengi these Goliath use Wheels formation or 8 tartarus using wheels chasing My Pnut vengi I can not out run them if the Afterburner is on cool down....Then more R-IC3 rockets htting me lol wow

So yeah these
(R-IC3) need to be Banned They take the Fun out of the evading skills... Most players don't deal with 20 ship chasing them, its hard to evade when you're getting hit by these lethal rockets

Or BP can neutralize them for events like Space Ball.

 

The really funny thing is they even use them on the easy kill that is just wasting the rocket as they would not have been able to escape to begin with. The difference is you could fire them and get away also.

Remember Premium now has 3 quick key bars and you can use the "shift""number" to activate some of the lesser used items (like formations)

 

Yes, I like the idea for neutralizing them in 4-4 maps during events like Space Ball that would stop the spamming of these rockets.

 

R-IC3 Rockets have been accepted by most of us as part of the day to day dangers involved in navigating the various maps.
Everyone has access to gain them and to use them....seems fair to me.
If you do not like danger my advice to you would be to stay in port, no one can get you there.
As for flying around the rest of the maps in my opinion it would be a little boring if there wasn't any danger.

They didn't have them in 2008 and didn't need them... Yeah why would anyone need them other than to spam them takes the skill out of the game you must not be chased by 20 players on a daily basis.... I like to see you in action see how you evade and dodge 20 ice rockets hitting you at diffident times by UFEs, let you tell it while I stay on port lol.

Okay, I will take your advice, after all a little wimp like me in a Harmless P-nut Vengi does not stand a chance of ever killing Generals and High ranked players in A P-nut no way it can't be done and should not be allowed Maybe the safest place for wannabes is for them to stay on the home base and watch the loud mouths on Global Chat talk about how good they are. Nah, like you say a P-nut should say on port And should not be Great White Shark Hunting: )

yes to them not to spam them everyone on TS taking spam'em with ICE rockets lol you must be a spammer

 

might wanna up your evading skills then . its part of the game now . when a game changes you must adapt . its useful for much more then killing players

 

Dear HomeTownBoy;
Let me get this right.
You claim to regularly have 20 enemy players hunting you, trying to pop you and you think that it's only because of R-IC3 that they are successful.
I'm thinking you may like to exaggerate your situation at least a little.
If you are not, my question would be what have you done to attract so much attention to yourself. Do you trash talk everyone on chat in a manner similar to your response to my post and in doing so upset them up and get them all to chase you.
Maybe the issue isn't the R-IC3 maybe it's your demeanor.
Just sayin.

Dear HomeTownBoy;
In addition I noticed according to your Pilot Profile that you have played Dark Orbit for the lump sum total of "1 hour" but you already claim to be in the know as to how our PVP game works and deem yourself able to give advice on how it should be played.
My advice would be to play a little while longer and see if your game improves based upon your experience not your conjecture.

 

You all know that HTB is a returning veteran of the old school game. He played US2 (West Coast) in a Lightning Vengeance and killed way more players than killed him. I have informed him I will not betray who he is but I have named him in several of my posts when I listed out Great players of the time.

 

Hi All,

This is the first I have heard of R-IC3 Rockets. Is this rocket fired Individual or Launcher? I tried to look them up in the "Shop," but I didn't see them. What are they and were did people get them?

Hello hometownboy I would like to ask a few questions.
Are you ufe or atleast fe?
How many hours in game do you have and how often do you fight with ppl?
As an ufe I can tell you that you can't survive 20 v1.20 ppl can easily kill a cube with 1 shot what about a weak new player . I personally do 100+k dog only on x4 without a group I can do over 250k with combo do you think 20 ufe need to attack you and freeze you in order to kill you? My shields go down in seconds and they are more than 1 mil each in a 3/4v1.
How can you survive? If you are not ufe? I don't have that many r-ic3 rockets only about 5k I think but still I use them to evade or to capture some one and their cd is Alot so if I it's more than 5v1 there is no point in using them you simply can't evade ppl are so good nowadays in marking you. I like the additional r-ic3 cus I don't lose ships that stay on portal and attack my pet.... Just think how useful can they be if you actually have a ship with equipment...

 

They are the "FREEZE" Rockets that are individually fired, usually only available during Winter Event. You should have some if you did the Birthday Gates, some as the Gate reward and some as the Quest reward.

 

Cold Wave Rockets (R-IC3) that freeze the enemy for 2 seconds. The rockets can be used against all opponents (interrupt/prevent the effect by using EMP, the Citadel’s “Travel Mode” ability and the Lightning’s “Afterburner” ability.
The R-IC3 will be available in the shop starting on the 11th of December 2014 and will cost 20 Uridium per Unit.\

December events you get them in boxes or free Gate
If you don't have them you have to wait till them but them out again
Or you can buy they ship the Goliath X that has the Frozen Claw Ability fires and Icy rocket I don't have the ship but I am sure thats what it does.

 

Yea you missed the 2016 winter advent Calendar when they gave that Ship away to all that logged in on their Birthday that year. I have it but have never even looked at the operation of it.

 

Sometimes I even doubt that, when they hit with the nerf hammer. Sometimes it feels more than 2 seconds, don't know why though.

 

i used to play on AG1 by 2007 before pb... so yeah...

i see no issue with Ice or Ice claw, it's duration is fine enough, they even changed it's hit % to one of a plt 2021 instead of ye olde 100% as a "nerf". it's like DCR really, only freezing you in place instead of reducing your speed... and we had DCR spams ever since saboteurs were added to the game.

 

I'm sorry to tell you but all travel abilities actually counter the ice rockets, and I'm pretty sure any movement impairing abilities or equipment.

I also think that ice rockets are more than necessary for this game because it gives slower ships a chance to counter faster ships by impairing their movement, so people can't run in a vengeance or tartarus all day.

Its also fantastic for spaceball so we can catch the cloaked spearheads and tartarus stealing our hard earned cargo boxes, too.

 

I find infection to be FAR worse, now that is something that needs to be bound to specified days or events only, just like in R-zone where they removed it.
