I don't get it. I mean do they practice hardcore to get that good? I am running around and they manage to kill me with the laser rifle. It's really hard to get a bead on someone who is running around, and also since it has a short firing rate since it has to recharge you only get so many shots. How come some people manage to hit you when your moving around so much?

I tried and it seems impossible to really be consistant with that weapon.

Are some people just lucky?

I don't know how different T:AA is, but in T2 it's still pretty hard to pull off a shot unless someone is standing still, even with a mouse. I've hit very few people in the air, slightly more people walking on the ground, and tons of people who just sit there looking around. You have to find a good hiding spot too, I have this awesome place to hide on Katabatic, it's right by Storm's extra inventory station (the one in the tower, but not the remote tower).

I still don't think it's as bad as people who will just fly above their flag and mow down people who take it, or people who just sit at the vehicle station and shoot off people while they get their vehicle.

I dunno, I've killed like 2 people with it in an actual serious game, people just have a good eye and practise for days

Turrets are part of what makes Tribes, well, Tribes. If you don't like 'em, have someone target it with a laser rifle and shoot at the reticle with your mortar, take that sucker out! Plus it'll require the enemy team to repair it, which, if they're anything like the T2 players on this one server I always play on, they won't get around to it for a while.

Talk about cowardly

Yea, I hate it so much. It's to damn cheap.

Here's a list of the Laser Riflin' people:

- Trigga
- Ward.E
- Revolution
- berserker

Also, V-Pad sniping is when someone waits for you to stand on the V-Pad so you can't move and then snipes you, which is fucking lame. make sure if any of the aforementioned people above are in your server that you look around before you step onto the Vehicle Station.

Yea I can't stand this. These are the people that I turn around and chase after, and then they run out of bounds farther away. Also they are already out of bounds to begin with hiding behind a mountain. Which is even more cowardly.

I wonder if it's possible to setup a barrier or something. AH should set a transport vehicle in the way as protection! Set 2 of them surrounding the pad so then you'd have cover. Hmm might need some friends on teamspeak to organize that.

One person asked Ricochet if he could make the shield around the V-Pad protect you if shot at. (you know when you shoot a V-Pad and that shield shines over it?)

But then again, It wouldn't be fair because I've remembered getting a load of kills with my nades and a few poor souls on the V-Pad... So I guess we'll just have to deal with these asswipes Crying or Very sad

Same here: shooting people while they're on the V-Pad is downright cheap. Mad Rolling Eyes
