Omg,
Tacklers try to slow me.
2/3 seconds of my lasers.
Problem solved.
There are a lot of ways to encounter the RT, you guys just don’t want to understand it.
Guys, listen. I’ve an idea.
I’m pretty sure the devs know our opinion about that module and crying and suggesting will not change anything.
To show all of you guys, that the RT is just another new module, and like each new module pilots don’t want to deal with it.
Of course this module is overaverage. But i just say: Statsis Generator, Ion Diffuser, Shield remodulator, Overdrive, Combat Reboot… The overaverage stuff, you know.
We should create a thread, collect the actual ways to encouter the RT & the ship (Mauler, whatever) and show how to encounter them.
For example. My Viking vs Mauler. How it goes on.
I jump 1km behind the mauler and use cloak instantly, i fly behind the mauler and place the micro locator. I start shooting and using modules. The pilot is under panic and pushs the RT button. He stucks at the ML. He think 1 seconds he is save and this is just the last think he thought before he explodes.
Of course you need tactics. But too many pilots are too lazy to think before they start attacking. And they have to think & plan if they want to successful destroy a LRF with RT.
Idea: Let’s create a thread ‘Ways to encounter successful a LRF with RT’ if you guys don’t do it. I will do it… After you guys told me what you think about it.
Well, the problem with that is that it’s really hard to place the ML right where it needs to be. But yeah, more or less, your post hit the nail on the head.
I don’t think RT is going to go away, but the one thing that really needs changing is the lack of hard counters. Yeah, the modules you listed are all a bit ridiculous, but each has its own counter (although those counters are more or less all in that same list). RT doesn’t have any real counter besides making sure you line it up juuuuuuust right to place a structure, and hoping that the long range is too stupid to check the radar and rotate a few degrees to RT away anyways.
But yeah, a thread full of soft counters is better than a forum without any at all. Plus I really want to know how to get rid of the good snipers that reverse thrust away to kill everyone when it gets hairy.
