IMO Epulse should be a suicidal move, meaning I think using itshouldkill you, too.

"IMO Epulse should be a suicidal move, meaning I think using itshouldkill you, too."
That would prevent most pilots from using it in all but the most extreme circumstances; however, in group fights we would probably start getting kamikazee attacks. lol

I haven't used EP3 in ages, but shortly after JTL came out some of us discovered the lethal bug EP3 could cause and as a BH at the time I found one mark sitting in a yacht outside Tat space and I accordingly went over tehre and tapped EP3 and got paid... That's just wrong. I heard it got fixed sometimes after that anyways, but if the RGI ship is bugged, by all means use EP3 to your advantage if those bozos want to use a near invincible ship in PVP against you.

"Using Ep3 is admitting that you lost the fight. "
That sums it up nicely. I don't have any further comments for this thread.

I tested it in a Hvy Scyk. 1980 f/b crafted shields, RE Lvl 4 cap 1200 max pre CO, opponent was Adv XW, RE reward shield 2555 f/b and 1200 armor... EP2 Disabled him, EP3 destroyed... And it was at 600 or 650 range (we were sitting still)
Ofc. this was a long time ago... Dev might've reduced therange 
Will do a new test as soon as I see someone inDS I know

I have done testing of EP3. Maybe the range used to be 600 or 650, or changed in the last 2 weeks, but EP3 did NO damage at range of 300 and further out.

If I'm out there as Emmexx, we can see who can fire it off first

If that were the case, i would come back, kill you, no matter what it took, and then without twing of guilt, spawn camp you with your every attempt to enter DS, from that point on out for the rest of the time id play SWG. Because of your attitude, and to apply your own philosphy against you. After all, if EP3 is part of the game by your standards, so are spawn areas. You reap what you sow.

Cool
Come to Bloodfin, I'll EP3 ya, you go sit at the spawn zone, both of em, for the rest of your days. I'll go with duties, droids in endor and Kessel. You can wait at them happily and I'll happily loot tier fives, ok?Oh, and as for attitude, I don't recall talking behind anyones back in this game, as you have admitted doing, or insulting anyone just because I can.
But hey, /salute, have fun camping the spawn points, something like 10k away from each other

Also, for the record, again, I use epulse on campers, not the big kind for trips, group attackers and thats about it.
