Well the fight was entertaining and looked good. Hopefully the fight between Tenlar and myself will look as good, but that's 15 fights away since TS and I had the luck of being the last pair for Round 1.

@Technojerk36,
What is the ingame res that you use? The vid seems a bit fuzzy, not that I'm complaining...it just makes any text a slight challenge to read.

First time I've seen PALC's in action, when I get around to Op: FF and get the 2 floating about they're going straight to the cloning facility so I can have a boatload of them (and Kyons as well) because a mass amount of them firing could make for a very nice screenshot background.

I wouldn't say the PALCs are overpowered in any way, their damage seemed fairly low (albeit steady) even with 8+ beams trained on 1 Osprey. They are expensive but make up for it with massive range and deadly accuracy.

Oh and they sure are pretty :D

No, fighter drones weren't allowed because they would probably not be launched.

I think the Ospreys lost mostly because they were not fast enough to keep with caps, too. Those Kestrels also did a great job. The PALC however weren't doing any better than I expected. Take them ages to take down even the shields of an M6. So I think they should be OK in Fleet Fest II.

Great Video there, those PALC's looked awesome in action. The Osprey's shielding seemed to hold up for a while but they just never had enough punch to bite back. Looking forward to the next match, keep up the good work :D

Were you watching in 1080p? I use 1920x1080 ingame. Also, you can't clone PALCs or Kyons as EQDs don't sell them.

1. Yes 1080p.

2. I probably should have guessed that you were using 1920x1080.....you did after all ask for the Torus screenie in a 1920x1080 res.

3. I knew someone had to point out that PALC's were uncloneable.

BUT I never said anything about an EQ as the clone fac and there was a time when all weapons could be cloned......a time I still have access to. :D

Really? Which patch got rid of this cloning fab?

As for the vid being a bit fuzzy, it's probably the codec I use. (Xvid)

1.4, and the Freight Drone wasn't really a facility (t'was an exploit).

The Freight Drone used to have a glitch in it. Basically when you loaded weapons into it and ran it over all the guns would end up in your cargo bay. BUT a second set of crates would appear in space, allowing you to double the number of weapons. So if you put 10 PAC's and 10 HEPT's into the Freight Drone, ran the FD over, 10/10 would return to your cargo bay and a second set of 10/10 more would be floating in space in two seperate crates.

Personally I consider exploits like that as cheating - I wonder why so many players complain about a ***modified*** while doing tricks like these. But we should get back to topic:

Next battle - who's gonna win?

I say Perkint will win that - 2000 Quatloos on his fleet!

I think IF the Heavys Survive long enough the Titan could do some very heavy damage - Now the Panthers..... will they engage prior to the Haulers? (Which has higher top speed?) -

This I feel will be a very meaty battle but I do think Perkint has the edge.

Since I'm not making changes to my betting outcome for all Round 1 fights, my credits are still on perkint (though I did lose on Mutiny's).

Winner gets a brand new and plush Xenon squeaky toy.

Holy smokes, just watched the first video. Those Split M7's can't half shift!

And those PALCs! Remind anyone else of Homeworld's Ion Cannons?

@Gavrushka: IIRC the Panther gets the first shot on most ships because it's front turrets are so far in front of it's center of gravity/rotation.

Man, I wish I'd seen this thread in time to make a fleet of 1 Mammoth and 10,000 fighter drones.
