Pounding into submission sounds good. Very good, in fact... me-wanna-have-piece-too *cry*
Anyway: I've always been suspect of equipment that has the chance that you can divert enemy projectiles. Chances are that your computer doesn't like you and, by pure chance the deflection of enemy weapons never works. Pure [/i]chance ... :ranting:
Still, this is my experience with cloaks on ships:
First impression: Brilliant, my smegging fleet doesn't hit the enemy AT ALL until the close combat stage begins. As a result, the city takes quite a beating but hey, who cares. I'm rich, I'm fat, I'm a smegging bastard and don't care about some weird government.
So I make all efforts to capture one of these magic devices and huzah! soon enough, a Transtellar transport lifts of and transfers a prototype to my main research base (Note that the Transtellar Mogul had a big smile on his face.. a smegging expensive smile as I have to keep bribing those chaps).
Next my sciencetists (overall skill 994) bash their heads against that cloak for a couple of days. The result, however was very disappointing: (for me anyway)
The cloak takes up ridiculous amounts of space and has a jamming effect lower[i] than that of the "lowly earthican" missile jamming thingie which you can get for an apple and an egg in any good pawn shop in the city. So personally I was never too impressed with that thing, my Annihilators were equipped with the human version at some stage and it always did SOME good, but hey... these things don't work too well against computers. (Same thing with the personal cloak, where in THEORY I can camp wherever I want to and see any cloaked enemy as soon as he spots me. A barrage of dimension missiles hailing down on me quickly taught me otherwise... God bless two sets of shields and a full disruptor armour. [ 'Corporal...' - 'Seargant?' - '... what's those purple slivers comin' towards us over there.. are they...?' - 'Yes, Seargent' - 'Do you think we should ...' - 'Yes, Sergeant' - 'Right, Corporal, give the order to move... hey... come back!' ]
Oh yeah: One question: What were the best firefights you ever had (I.e. who vs who, equipment, situation, etc...)
Just curious because I got some really funny ones and some really good ones like realistic etc.
