Thread: Another Day another new speeder...or 2, or 3
i find it hilarious to destroy aSF players BARC. even though they can be repaired.
TIP: if you are SF store your bike
. Gorax should have destroyed a few though lol.
:::[}{]:::Although I think ive only lost one or two bikes since i started. One were the flash speeder and it got bugged up so I didnt get a new one
To be honest, something big needs to be done about this. I dont care where in the world you are, your not gonna find someone so stupid that they would fire on a unarmed vehicle while an armed soldier is shooting at them......picture this....
Rebel Sergeant: Ok men, here comes the enemy, dont worry if they shoot at us, just blow up their bikes!
Rebel Soldier: But sir, the enemy are already shooting at us, the bikes pose no threat whatsoever, shouldnt we take out the dangerous elements first ?!?!?!
Rebel Sergeant: NO! I said ignore the enemy, just shoot the bikes, I dont like the noise they make!
Rebel Soldier: Uhh.... Sir, weve already lost 3 men, dont you think we should shoot at theARMED ENEMYnow?
Rebel Sergeant: DO YOU WANT A COURTMARSHAL SOLDIER!!! I dont care if every one of us dies, we are gonna kill that damn bike first! Think of the ozone layer.
Rebel Soldier: Ok, whatever you sARRGGG!! (gets shot by irate player who just had his vehicle jacked)
I dont even think the French would use this tactic, and their specialty is getting their butts kicked.
How about make the speeders like the flags at missions.If you try and shoot it before you kill the guards, its all but indestructable. If you shoot it after killing the guards, it only takes a few shots.
Bikes should be the same way, if the enemy kills you first, they should be able to destroy the vehicle fast, if they hit the vehicle first, it should be almost invicible. Keeps cheesy incedents of a level 15 npc blowing a bike up and stranding the level 80 player within killing distance. Here comes another "picture this".....
RodianBoss Lvl 15: Ok boys, here comes the transport, lets frag that sukker!!
Rodian Thug lvl 11: Boss, that thing has six level 80 players inside it, dont you think it would be a bad idea to strandsix lvl 80 players right here within shooting distance of us? Im pretty sure they are gonna stomp us to dirt for blowing up the vehicle? Maybe we should just let them go on by.
Rodian Boss lvl 15: Let them go by? And miss out on getting slaughtered by an angry mod of lvl 80's?, I think not.
Rodian Thug lvl 11: Uhh Boss, I gotta go, I just remembered I forgot to take my pot roast outof the oven.....uhh yeah, thats it.... I'll see you around.

lol, that is some funny stuff. I must have been on a bad streak or soemthing, but i have lost 6 vehicles, and one was the flash speeder, and oddly i cannot get another, and one of them got blown up, while i had the friggin thing knocked down, i mean come on? i even parked over 150m away so this wouldn't happen, and it still did
LOL, running the Phase 1 village quest yesterday wasted 3 vehicles of mine. A swoop, an AB-1 and an X-34 Landspeeder that I had kept since my start (for sentimental reasons).
I was about to whip out the Varactyl but someone was nice enough to sell me a swoop. So I went shoppingand bought crate after crate of swoops. I can open a dealership now.
NPCs don'tspecifically target the speeder, they get hit in area attacks that they now commonly use. Best bet is to store the vehicle. I think the new system is actually kinda cool since it keeps players from kiting via speeder on high end NPC.
