Thread: I pvp in a RGI, I don't care what size the hitbox is

This is a rant thats going to make me very unpopular, but, much like other things, i really don't care anymore, and im really sick of the hate tells. So if your one of those whiners on bria, listen up.


I will always PvP in an RGI, and i REALLY I dont care what size the RGI hitbox is. I dont care if its as large as a KFC Chickenspray, or smaller then a pinpoint.

Do i know its really small and bugged? Yes i do thats obvious.

So why do i use it? Because :

1.) i can't fit at least a L7 blaster, MKIV shield and most importantly a L8 engine into a 50K mass T/I. If i could, id be owning you in a T/I instead of a RGI.

2.) ROTW fighters in my opinion have forced the part requirements of above mentioned number 1. If your going to stay with the technology curve you have to keep up. Everyone with a clue is strapping in L8 shields and/or engines. If you dont do the same, your handicapping yourself. Im sorry, but thats something im not willing to do.

3.) I like interceptors for PvP for many reasons. Because of point 1, my options are rather limited since i dont want to be just like everyone else and fly a JSF or b22. I didnt become an imperial pilot to fly the same ships everyone else and their cousins sisters brothers ex room mate in the game does regardless of profession. Wow, theres a novel observation, Rebs/imps and privateers are all flying the exact same ships now. weeee hows that for variety?


So, are you one of the people i killed over the last few days? Upset? Feel the need to send hate tells over it?

Know this.

True, the RG tie hibox is a bit skewed. But your inablity to hit me has NOTHING to do with that. Your ablity to do damage does, but NOT your ablity to hit me. If you score a hit on the chassis, but not the upper part of the ball (where the hitbox is), a hit will regester, but not do any damage becuse it didnt touch the acutal hitbox. This means that I know when ive been hit. I'll get that "SCCCHHHHH" sound and/or my shields will flash. Im guessing 3/4's of you bozo's cant hit me, small hitbox or no. Ive killed about 15 players in the last few days, and ive only been genuinly hit about 4 times. So cry all you want to make yourself feel better, i really dont care. My choices right now are limited to two ships. I either pull out my RGI and dance with you for a few mins, or pull out an oppressor and kill you on the first pass with the "I win" Tri IR2 salvo. Which would you rather have?


So, to my adoring fans on bria, If you gotta whine and send hate tells, send it to sony, not to me. Whining to me wont fix anything, and i really dont care either way. PvP has been borked from misc bugs and exploits a long freaking time, and well, did i mention i just dont care anymore?

So here's a virtual quarter, call someone who cares.

and no folks, don't toss that virtual quarter back, i already know that know one cares for this post. But, im tired, im feed up, im gonna vent, and ya know, im about done. Went around dropping bases on the ground today, and it was kinda fun. Nice diversion.

Sorry Ducimus, gonna call you on this one.


You're one of the people who made sure this was a known issue when it came up, by posting and testing etc. You're also one of the biggest anti-bug posters around here. The fact that you still use a bugged ship is a choice you made, and whether they hit you or not, you've set yourself up for the aggravation, deal with it.

Yup, you can justify anything you want if you try hard enough.

I DO feel you on this, this whole 'JSF/B-22 Composite in Space' crap is annoying, but resorting to utilizing an in-game bug is no better than a certain profession's penchant for exploiting on the ground.

After having followed your posting for a bit I honestly expected much better of you than this.

If a poisonous snake is dropped on top of you from a gyrocopter, don’t freak out and shoot your own driver with your arrow gun, making the vehicle lose control and blow up. Its probably just as scared as you are.

Actually I wouldn't bother with epulse3 just to get a kill rating in PvP... but if I'm out there farming for loot and someone is bugging me... I'm sure as hell gonna use it =) If it disables their ship and leaves em alive... all the better.
