here we go... my endless noob attempt to screw xeno up... feel free to disagree but im thinking tomcat/sad/happy is better than baps. baps may have more versatile moves, but when it comes to pure skill, i think... if you have a guy who isnt too sharp on your team, then gg in 10min. i just went
with happy's swarm skill. damn he's catching up to my swarm skill
(or better yet, same if not better...)
anyway, my first lame attempt was to go against sad/happy with some random guy.
game starts, finds out this dude takes single patch, makes a few bombers when my torp lands on other side.
i make gun plats and flaks and torps and ions while my bud goes some more bombers and 10 ions. he threw his ions in the mass laser flock, boom, gg. i didn't even have time to get pissed.
now second game goes with me/thomas vs sad/happy in cb variant map.
it was kind of a first to play 2v2 with them in cb map but basically we just massed ships. thomas did a single hyper torp but they had bombers so, it just got pwned and he went to make bc and all but sad was quicker at making it and sent us his first. now thomas had to move his cc back from his pos 2 and he was pushed. he sends his bc in but by the time sad's bc is dead sad sends another bc. i was 5x pumping vettes and fighters and even managed to send about 6 missiles in their back patches for killing about half dozen cols.
but good god, even if i was pumping like mad with my mad swarm skillz with mad emp skillz, happy keeps bugging us badly we have lost swarm at one point and i couldnt recover much since then...and thomas was getting pushed with his bc as well, as now, one of his patch is their bc landing spot. and we just kept getting pushed bit by bit and hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm boooooooooooooooom.... ahhhhhhh.... but was very tense. happy u're swarm is good.
GG.
ok... now i see some other skillful people in lobby.
tomcat/sad/happy (hig except happy) vs me/gini/thomas-aod (hig except me) in some smallish tfl map called tfl-angel-wing where pure fighter rush looks to be too good of a move. and so they did with about 12 cols each. thomas was nice enough he goes fast fighters with 10 or 12 cols to have them not attack too soon. and i went about 14 cols with emp but i was slightly slow going 14, but i did manage to emp them before we were lost. gini asked us 'guys grav the mid'. gg.
ok, to tell a bit more in detail, he tried to hyper torp and go flak, but by the time anything looked effective with his frigs, we were... u know how we were... so, nice nice
now, after the game ends and having laughed how lame it was for a moment, we go again at them. (same race except thomas went vaygr)
now we told gini how angle dd and flaks dont work. so now he actually goes fighters this time with about 12 cols. they came in pretty quick again even tomcat going at 8 cols... so, we were pretty tense about making fighters quick this time and i went 12 cols and even sold res mod to get quick emp after queueing level 1 speed behind it. they seemed to have more fighters for the first moment and it kind of looked bad... but since i went to get emp quicker than them by selling res mod, my emp blew on them before they gave us any, which probably made things look slightly relaxed on our side and in a few minutes, we looked to be fine with fighters.
we just kept pumping fighters after fighters and i kept blowing emp after emp, and somehow those scouts lived very long by keep docking. then i saw them going frigs so i thought i had to go lasers, now since i had 12 cols i thought of borrowing cols from thomas so i could get to vettes with no lag while he keeps pumping fighters. so i recieve 2 cols from him and starts going to research lasers and some vette upgrades while making 2 more cols for me to go 16 cols for triple pump. thomas goes to take his 3rd patch to make more carriers. gini makes ions and marines and i thought marines wouldnt work since they would probably bring more ions but thankfully we won the swarm somehow, so they made about 4 flaks to let gini start marining on the cc that was sitting at mid of map. i told him marine wouldnt work, but actually it did... and let that cc blow up. now i was pumping triple lasers while making a vette mod on thomas' cc i got from him and returned to him so he didnt have to research vettes to get lasers.
thomas makes more carriers and goes hmf while gini keeps making ions while i was going lasers for a full offensive attack. soon after, since we already won swarms, their frigs just kept dieing on our force and.... hmm, we won... wtf...
well, they did a same move than the last game, so we were kind of prepared for the attack in the same map. but gg.
what a wet dream come true.
now that happy had enough of rapage by the demons he had to leave. so our next game ends up with me/gini vs tomcat/sad. i just waved my hands toward lobby to go on a death sentence.
we started on the same map and since xenos got afraid to fighter rush demons to get countered, they actually went slower this time with sad going double fighters and tomcat going triple patch res mod single fighter. gini was going fighters (omfg gini on vaygr!) to go against sad and in the end i decided to go hmf to counter what tom was going to do. our side looked like such a reversed role but oh well, what the hell...
neither side attacked too soon and gini was just maxing fighters while i went 16 cols to triple pump hmf. we now both have near maxed fighters for 2 players and about a dozen frigs for both side. i just moved up my cc and fs to get in the attack position while their frigs were moving around to make sure they stay in right position against my attack.
soon after, my hmf got too close and was in ion's range, but since tomcat was a little girl, he pulls his ions back and fight didnt start for a second, but the other part of ions started attacking my pretty hmf and i had to answer him back with many missiles. and now full scale attack happens, and i used my 4 emp on about 4 ion frigs to stop moving, since our fighters werent in action yet and i just pulled my scouts to make sure i'd be able to use again on fighters. gini was using fighters on the closest patch of theirs and now their fighter comes in and we took fighter battle.
i even went level 2 hmf and god wow, hmf rocks...i thought we had nearly about same amount of hmf and ions but in a few minutes, my hmf just totally toasted them. tomcat brings up defense field frigate so i had to target other area of ions where shield isnt around. and somewhat to my surprise when i attacked dff with shield on at one time, every single hmf missle went through...-_- what the hell... and dff just sunk like a sitting duck.
and to my surprise tomcat has sy and was about to pop bc... if he used that resource for extra cc with destroyer from ms, i think we had a harder time, but his bc pops when all his ions were dead... and we just blew them into another universe. GG. 2 wet dreams i look like an aroused girl...
nice games. glad i still had some air to breathe in lobby and not as a nub who keeps losing over and over...
ok... i forgot to take any stats lol... but all the games happened during 3am-6am...-_- lol.
