Lol. I think the joke is getting old…Poor antibus!

Not really, but he hasn’t said it in a while so it’s not working as well.

I think that is weird too, we cause all this mess in every topic and no antibus appears to say that phrase.

Why do people complain LRF are weak, and they use them so much?

Another match, 8 in the enemy team. As soon as they die, more spawn.

the better part, they were bottom of the efficiency list :slight_smile:

 

and 8 torpedos, not a single sniper

I haven’t flown any LRF frigates even though I did attempt to get my hands on some Jericho LRFs (which I gave up on to focus my attention on other areas).

However, I will comment on them, I don’t seem to find them useless, they are in many ways a powerful force to reckoned with if they are used in the right manner, I think the problem with them is when there is too many of them relative to the size of the team, if you take a 7 player team, 1-2 LRFs aren’t that bad depending on the situation.

However if too many players start flying them it becomes pointless to even try to win, especially with the amount of ceptors (unless the number has gone down since the last update in which case correct me) flying around. They are sat back trying to take potshots whilst the few players who move in can’t deal with the larger force at the beacon, it’s just a real annoyance and waste of a good game when the enemy decimates your team in a beacon hunt game just because half your team hides near an asteroid ‘sniping’ people.

[…] they are in many ways a powerful force to reckoned with if they are used in the right manner […]

5-10% of the entire playerbase know how to use them in the right manner. But also, those 5-10% players know better to fly other more effective ships.

^ this.

 

Unless those 5-10% just want to troll everyone in the match by using them as Gunships.

These ideas are ridiculous!  If you want a “gunship”, the game HAS gunships.  If the devs of this game are dumb enough to allow you to one-hit people from across the map as well as giving you tanking “gunship” LRF’s, I’m definitely taking my ball and going home.

 

Jericho LRF’s piloted by good players are tanky enough, and a challenge to bring down.  Anything more than that, and balance is just thrown out the window entirely.

 

There’s a reason you can choose from multiple ships during a game.  LRF’s aren’t good for EVERY situation, nor should they be, and it’s about time you frigate monkeys learned that.

and it’s about time you frigate monkeys learned that.

 

Keep your manners if you want to keep posting on this forums please.

I just realized I was in that match. I cannot recall what happened…

It so happens that LRFs are better used as heavy gunships. Generally speaking this makes them more useful to the team. And one-shotting… I haven’t seen that in a long time.

Most LRF pilots are just terribad and contribute nothing… I see that its not the Job of a LRF to capture beacons  or carry bombs… they are there to kill and soften up. 

I needed 2 Guided Torpedo kills for a contract… the result (with the Templar AE):

So, its possible to kill with the Jerry-LRF (as long as there are no Guards in the game with AMS). 

Makes me wonder why so many players fail… (btw.: only one kill was done with main weapons)
