hey ullerm/flanders if you're here, how are these new DICKS things that are ingame going to affect the meta around BS fleets/bombers

They're interesting. They're pretty good at nullifying a single bombing run, but there's a few caveats:

1) it cycles whether or not it finds a bomb to shoot at
2) in practice it's iffy whether or not the destroyers all find different bombs to shoot at
3) the cycle time is bad enough that multiple waves could still wreck you.

In practice, they're more about taking the edge off a bombing run than completely nullifying it. to make it really work well, the FC (or, more likely, a helper monkey assigned to the dicksquad) has to call for waves -- i.e. "first group fire," wait ~6 secs (travel time for the missiles), "second group fire"

how well will they end up working in 10% tidi when I can see bombs on my overview for a few minutes? or will they be some superspeed reaction based thing?

I can't imagine that the shield versions will have too large of a margin of error when it comes to letting bombs slip through.

I have never encountered a poster that was worth ignoring.


Edit: with the literal ignore feature I mean. Though there are certainly posts worth skimming. The only time someone is really worth ignoring is when they don't really care about the conversation that they enter. People who just do drive-by posting without contributing.

I'm amazed you actively chose to be ignorant in this case. Anyone who's not an rear end in a top hat looking for more poo poo to casually sling at people would have understood the intention behind my words. Yet you complain about not being able to have a normal, rational, reasonable conversation with people. Don't ever let it be said that I didn't try to reach out to the other side of...whatever and however you want to characterize what this "is".

Aight, here it is Barney style.

You are not a rational poster, since when I mentioned you being irrational, you claimed to make any honest post.

Honest =/= rational. The two can be related, but not always. So claiming that you'll give an "honest" answer in response to a question when your honesty was never in doubt is an irrational thought process.

I believe you honestly believe the stupid poo poo you spout. I don't think you're a troll, I just think you're not very bright.

When I said "I'd give you an honest answer" I meant I'd reason with you and engage with you on your terms. That's it, that is all I was trying to communicate to you. If you couldn't understand that then there's no potential for discussion between you and me. Leave here believing what you believe and I'll go back to shitposting and believing what I believe about you.

VERY round.

See, At least even though I think you're wrong about pretty much everything you can at least have a normal conversation. Expecting a rational reasoned response from Dunfunny or mandozer is top lol.

TBH most of my concerns were indirectly addressed through a couple of threads on goonfleet.com, a lot of what I thought was confirmed and responsibility taken. There's really no need to shake trees past that except to be angry and bitter.

EDIT: It didn't help that I viewed the directorate as a group with a unified message rather than viewing them as a collection of dudes, some with really dumb ideas and some with really good ones who may not necessarily spew a party line message vice some that will. Basically I had taken to viewing directors as a monolith, and that was a mistake on my part.

Supers were implemented badly from the jump it seems. I think it would have been much more fun to see caps and supers be utilitarian (like an extrapolation of the Titan's bridging, or the Rorq's indy core), and super vulnerable.

They should represent a hardware investment that correlates to quality of life improvements for your members - but they shouldn't just be another means of escalating until the only viable strategy is n+1.

Unfortunately gameplay mechanics are only a small fraction of what's wrong with this loving space game we all apparently love.

Vouches/alts, duh. A super is actually good for not less than 2 (two) all-access passes into The Pandemic Legion.
