The end of battle
« on: March 05, 2008, 04:26:13 pm »
I usually try to stop to avoid running into the planet and so I can accelerate in any direction I choose once the next round starts. However, if there is a VUX Intruder in my opponent's fleet, I charge in one direction (away from the planet).

I just accelerate (unless I know where the planet is, in which case I turn to NOT face that as well) so whoever teleports in doesn't get a cheap kill.

But what if the enemy ship just happens to come in right in your path and facing your ship? ;)

Although, of course, this is unlikely.

But what if you're using a nemesis and the gun is pointing BACKWARDS?

Mmm, it is a most grave conundrum that I face in trying to answer to your question. I guess that you'll just have to run away as quickly as possible -- turning 90 degrees either clockwise or anticlockwise and then shooting backwards as you get further and further away. If the *silly cows* haven't *dissolved* by now, then it is the *GO! GO!* and the rest of the *dancing*.

I just accelerate in a non-planet direction and then just start doing a fury death blossom for any poor bastard Vux to try anything sneaky

If I'm in a crappy slow ship I'll try and find the planet for a gravity whip, otherwise I generally just drift.

I actually didnt know what I did in the victory screen actually affected the next match, so I just let it drift.

I would love to say what I know would cause your head to explode, but What I know is so above you that, being so unequiped to comprehend it, your mind would simply ignore it, and that is the definition of ignorance!

Don't you know that the planet could pull you in and kill you? ;)
