I got 46 assists once. I thank my team and Kipps for being a good captain. I was in a command, and I don’t remember how many damage assists and buff assists I got, but I know it was 6 kills for myself, and I do not consider myself a kill focused pilot. MM sucked for that game.
Anyway, fun’s relative. Take a Crus S and laugh at interceptors trying to kill you. Take a Kite and get in, do damage, gtfo. Get a gunship for the DPS king. Want to kill captains, try recon, they’re the ones who do it the most.
Went 5 kill 35 assist as a Ace in a raptor mk 2, wasn’t using my guns forhalf the kills either, dumb intys kept dying to engie special drones.!?! and why does n00b come out as ace?
Engineer isn’t support in Star Conflict. It’s the all-purpose soloist which also has supportive buffs. Engineer is the center of the universe.
Now that I’ve said it’s awesome I’ll also say it gets old. Being one of the few useful ships in pve is why it gets old. The other ships are useful and engineer on the team is practically required. Pve is to help with the t4 and t5 pursuits of creds, synergy and equipment. That’s where engineer burnout can happen. If this happens, a player will want to do pvp flying something else.
Recon is the most useful interceptor in my opinion. Using warp to get places instead of reserving it for use an escape tool is what to go for with a recon. Becoming good at recon flying is a hectic thrill ride.
Now what if one of those ships engage up close?(thats me)
Most things that approached my Templar AE died to a combination of minefields and focus fire. I hung around my team for protection in case I got rushed, and it saved me most of the time. If all fails, a point blank torpedo was always enough to send the offending inty to the respawn screen that I would also be staring at.
