Thread: Who here is tired of being a maid?
I wouldn't say that I am "teh best" Pilot on Lowca, but there was a fairly lengthy period of time wherein I didn't get blown up. It happened for the first time (In a few months) last night, when I made a slight error in judgement against a Corvette looking to get my Advanced X-Wing.
I don't believe that it will happen this evening, but who knows?

If you Eclipsers or anywhere else have a good pilot helper list going on your galaxy forum, get me a link to it and I'll see if I can get it stickified too.
I kinda know what you mean. After 4 or 5 failed missions, I got mad and told my FORMER
guild leader he was freakin worthless. Its like the heavy ground player is a hinderance in space, the 4 or 5 missions that we failed, I knew I could solo them all. I appoligized, and I feel bad about saying harsh things, but, he's the last person I would want backing me up in space now.

Quite some bragfest from someone who died to a PvE Mission 2 weeks ago, ridiculous heh. Even more funny when this happened in an Eta-2 Actis Interceptor :-P.Message Edited by darmokVtS on 06-14-2005 12:42 PM
Even more funny because the only reason it happened was I had forgotten I had Cap to Shield Shunt IV loaded.
It hasn't happened since then and barring a big change, won't happen again.

At least I have something to do while waiting for the freakin Respec crap to finish (so I can get my master badges). My goal: make mincemeat of any declared Imperial on Eclipse, especially guys like this.
Wow - if I knew it would be this simple to get more people to declare, I'd have done this a long time ago.
Also, please look up sarcasm in the dictionary. This post was meant to be clearly dripping with it. Everything after about "happy medium" was me screwing around.

I have helped literally dozens of pilots get ace.
As far as "being a maid" here's how I run my show.
- Did you try and fail already? Ok I'll be your wingman.
- Are you n your first attempt and just want some extra firepower? I'll be your wingman.
- Am I just in the mood to fly in a group? Ok, again, I'll be your WINGMAN.
So basically, I don't "do the mission for you" I stay about 50m off there right wingtip matching speed and manuevors and I add the support to the mission. If it's a tough mission I'll boost ahead and disable a gunboat or remove the teeth from a Nova Courier, but I leave the ball in the mission holders court.
The only thing that can get frustrating is a few times I have gone on a mission to help someone and they actually but the escort target on follow and went afk. Instead of getting mad, I just hyper out. No tells, no complaining, I just take off.
I'm always willing to help anyone I can, sometimes that means I get 50 tells a night from different pilots needing aid (can't help em all but I do try!). Remeber, even though you've said you are available to help people you do have the option of saying you're too busy and most people will leave it at that. I know I have a waiting list of pilots in my notepad.

Ah, come on. A pilot without his attitude is just some guy.
I try to find time to help those who genuinely need it, but for those who are just looking for a free ride, they're on their own. Generally, it's not too hard to tell the difference.
everyone can get blown up, whats the matter?
Ppl like the original poster who claim to be "the best" and have ohh so many kills and nearly no death are just ppl who run when its uneven odds.
While there are ppl like me who say YEEEHAAA and fly straight into a group of 15 opponents to take down as many as you can before you blow up... damn i miss the old Kessel days :/
In other words, there are tons of pilots out there who gladly help when they can, if they cant, they just say sorry and the result of this... they are still able to leave their appartement without getting their head stuck in the door cause the ego blowed it up.
