Arch you just said what I said ... if you are bored/alone - talk to someone, it helps! But don't repeat my advice in your way... Find your own advice to give.
As for Piranha and Triakis at Phantom, Miguel - you wanna learn a track, choose Feisar and AG-SYS.
You wanna learn Piranha at Phantom - choose Piranha!
.... Miguel dk, read thru the thread mate, and you'll find the answers you're looking for. :g
WTF are you on? I'm not repeating your advice. :lol I'm just telling that your advice is not really good.
Learning a track with feisar instead of with Triakis? That sucks.
"You wanna learn Piranha at Phantom - Choose Piranha" -> No, choose a cardboard racer.
So, Ace, read my post again and see if I'm repeating you before you start to spam again. Why would I want to repeat *your* advice, anyway? Find some of my advices to give? What for? I try to give people some events now and then so that they enjoy the actual thing, not just talking **** and nonsense spamming crap on the boards. ;)
And **** off with some bored"/"alone stuff, k? ;)
Crank it up baby :D ;)
Piranha ftw! :D
thanks ace-flo
Having done nearly everything in the single player mode now, I guess I'll post my experiences.
When I started out on Pulse, I was rather annoyed to find that my favoured team from Pure (Auricom) wasn't in the running. So I picked my replacement and I got on very well with Assegai - speed and thrust were fine and the handling made me smile. When I bothered to download the DLC, I tried to go back to Auricom and just couldn't do it.
For most of the game, that was fine. However, at Phantom the low shield stat for Assegai really started to trouble me, so I started to experiment with different craft for different situations. Icaras became my craft of choice for time trials, and I experimented with Feisar for the main races because of the good handling and decent shields. However, now I've got very little left to do I'm starting to quite like Qirex. It's similar enough to the Assegai to be appealing, with the lower thrust and handling offset by the shield boost. The handling is good enough that it's definitely not the "brick strapped to a rocket" Qirex of old, but it's nice to have something a bit more solid than the Assegai.
i'm pleased you found favour with the qirex, it's a fantastic ship, but not many race with it online... do you go online much?
Yeah, strange that...
You'd think it'd be a popular online ship with that shield. I'd use it if there was suddenly no EG-X.:D
... Qirex, quite possibly the best looking ship online... if its skin was managed by the AirLicker Group :lol - Qirex power!
Just think... no more Airlicker custom skins in HD.... maybe you should stay with Pulse, eh?:lol
oh, the G-TRIP is so on point, you got me smiling man... AirLicker will come up with a mk IV sometime in the near future... and i'll test it online (pending connection)...
ACE-FLO: I haven't been online with Pulse yet, as I don't have wireless internet in my current location. When I head home, I've got a wireless router that should allow me to finally race some of you guys online - I can't wait!
Hi NiktheGreek.:)
Pulse online is very quiet these days, but there's still a few people playing, and sometimes even the Phantom class hardcores!:D
hello Nik, (lock stock? or was it snatch?)
if you do manage to get online, post up in th 'online meetings' thread in the Pulse forum, and pulsers will hopefully heed your call. Oh, and should you happen to race MrSmadSmartAlex, and get schooled - don't worry, it happens to the best of us... Alex is a demonic pilot with eXtreme skillz, of which I am secretly jealous :) it' all true... and I won't admit that again, ever ;)
Heh, thanks mate. Yet you've still beaten me a load of times.;)
It's good to be online-capable again, and this ofw runs ok online, but it's even quieter on the servers since this 6.10 thing - I guess that means there's a lot of CFW users about...
Back on topic - I might start using Qirex now and again online, if I'm ever in a room full of weapons ****ers (like you and your cannon, ACE!:mad: :lol). I hate having to miss BRs and stuff due to low shield. But on the other hand...
...the EG-X is too good to not use.:D
Aw, stop it man... you're making me miss Metropia. it aint the same on hd (sobs) seriously, there's something very wrong about it. also noticed that the fury eg-x is just, er, well, very sexy to pilot. but nothing like it's fx400 in handling, i give it that. but what do i know? i'm still a noob at hd lol.
However, i do miss the pulse ships. Piloting them had become... instinctive...
I'm currently torn between 4 ships. Goteki, EG-X, Triakis, and Qirex.
I like the triakis because of it's weight. It just feels right when you take it around a corner or over a hill. It hugs the ground nicely and you always feel as though you're in control. It also has excellent top speed. But it's painfully slow off the start and out of corners. I guess i'm still drawn to it because hardly anyone races with it online giving it an "individual feel".
The qirex appeals to me for the weight much like the triakis. Only the qirex feels more responsive, but a little slower. Overall I thought it was a well balanced ship. A little bulky and hard to execute shallow barrel rolls though.
I guess the main competition is between goteki and eg-x. I've always loved goteki so they got the tradition thing going for 'em. I also like it because it because of the thrust. You get hit by a weapon or slam a wall, you'll reach to speed in no time. and their shields are extremely nice for courses I don't know well and for getting hit with weapons. It also feels more responsive then an eg-x.
And finally the eg-x. To start, it feels very nice and weighty around turns. It's faster then a goteki and has excellent acceleration, too. Though it is weak in the shields department and can be a little too much of a hassle on the really sharp turns. But the accel and speed usually make up for it.
Goteki, EG-X from your list of prefferred ships do well online. Having said that, they have a good balance in all ships - so really, it's down to ability too i guess...
the EG-X is fasterrrrrrrrrrr :)
AirLicker never finished the EG-X custom did they? :? Hmmm... well I'll have to see about getting something done there...
Just curious - do any of you use alternative ships? for example I used to sometimes fly an EG-X or Piranha when I wasn't in my AG-SEX...sorry, er, SYS :D:dizzy
i flew with the goteki at first. though i decided i needed a faster ride so i naturally went with the eg.x. although now i'm finding myself flying with triakis, and doing fairly well online with it as well. i think i'll stick with the tank for a while. something about it just feels right. plus i don't feel dirty when i fly with it like i did in pure. :)
Well, I used to think that high Thrust was the be-all-end-all (or however it goes) stat in Pulse with Speed being completely negligible (the exact opposite of Wip3out, funny enough), seeing ships like AG-Sys and Goteki doing so well all the time. However, after first hearing about Wolfkill using Triakis and doing fairly well, and then me using it myself on Saturday, achieving 1st or 2nd in the majority of races (60% or so I'd say)...
Well, I'm really beginning to rethink that.
Especially in the weapons off races (although during rare moments of calm in weapons on races, too), when it came down to cornering and BRs, I swear I literally saw my Triakis catching up with the EG-X's and AG-Sys's that were ahead within visual range. A race or two I think I had "stolen the victory" (as Smad would say :lol ) just by how sharp the line was.
My point is I think the theories of the olden days got tossed out the window, and that all ships are indeed viable for online multiplayer.
I agree with that for non weapon races for sure. weapons though, goteki imo has a very large advantage over the high speed ships. If it goes up against a ag sys, not as much, but it still hits that first weapon pad if both people start at max speed, and if it is a mine or bomb, it's bad news for whoever is behind.
I knew most of the ships already from 2097 & Wip3out, nevertheless, I gave every team a fair chance.
At the beginning I have provided a handwritten list in which I have divided the ships into 3 categories:
My one and only --- an other attempt worth --- no way
First - the "no ways":
Quirex: No bad ship, but for incomprehensible reasons, I can´t identify with this team... also the control poses problems to me permanently.
Goteki 45: Almost the same as Quirex. Sorry.
EG-x: Good acceleration and shield. But together with the other attributes no prominent machine for me.
Piranha: My girlfriend´s favourite! But I can´t understand the advantage of this ship. Well, it has many fans, and that´s o.k. for sure, but I couldn´t get any record with it. Oh, and the handling pretty sucks, imho.
Auricom: Uncontrolable for me since WipEout 2097. I never liked this team - and the ship is ugly too.
Enough of that - next is "an other attempt worth" (but sadly, they didn´t qualify):
Mirage: The first impression was: Well-balanced.
But after some tests I had to find out that this ship of all offers not enough, instead of the right measure.
Harimau: First it seemed to be quite comfortable, but then...I simply don't understand this team!
Basically it is similar to the Assegai, but it is worse in certain points. Flying this ship - for what?!
Triakis: Solid like a tank, but also as slowly.
Feisar: Brilliant handling, but that´s already everything. Too slowly what develops just after a crash very much to the disadvantage. Worse than expected.
Assegai: This ship was my all-time favourite! But in higher classes, the first problems appeared. Don´t get me wrong - it is a nice ship, but it was a bit too "mainstream" for me. Just in higher classes, it comes to a decision which attributes fit all together, for your success.
AG-Systems: The classic! Great handling, but in my opinion, it is a bit too slow.
My choice is (was) Icaras!
EDIT: Speed is not everything, it depends on the pilot. So I may switch to Feisar, because with this ship I don´t eat walls that much. ;) Feels better that way!
For what you say? Don't always believe the stats as they don't tell the whole tale. Directly compared to the Assegai, the Harimau may appear to have worse stats. Indeed the thrust is actually worse, but as an advantage to the Harimau, it does handle bumps better and stick to the track better. And in my opinion, the Harimau is a classy ship- it is my one and only choice. More classy than the Assegai, but to each, his own.
Sorry, I didn´t intend to offence the Harimau lovers...;)
In my opinion - and after piloting myriads of laps - the sentiment varies enormously reffering the different ships. Also depending upon the speed class.
But nonetheless you´re right about the stats. They´re smoke and mirrors.
I´m piloting Mirage at the moment, after intensive sessions with G45 and FEISAR.
I had a shift in priorities very often, but it seems I will find my personal favourite soon! But I won´t save the tigers...:g (No offence!)
**(My priority list above was one of my first posts in this forum! :redface:
So please be lenient. Thanks in advance!)**
Auricom is good after rapier
Pirhana is good after rapier but i take my time usin it on phantom level. On most turn tracks.
Ag systems has been good for me in the last three tournaments where I faced off against the actual people o talk in here. Given me the good spankings for Ben and Eric.
I tried triakus
When i used it. It was used in Paris to beat the bricks out of the French.... not using triakus another time.
Quirex... no comment on that
Puma and Puma 2. Did a great job working Arnaud, did a great job trying to get me out of fourth string in the European races, and a great job but didn't keep me alive n the matches against Travis.
