Best and Worst Raid level ships

yep wa 3, didnt look for the post just remembered something about WS v rongoth. still think a nova would give a WS a good go.

And BTW i never brought up being a playtester, you did.

Read the bottom of your sig ^. People will see you as a representative of the game, so you will be seen as being knowledgeable. So when you post a flawed opinon, people have a right to question it.

Yes you are allowed opinions, I never said you did'nt. But this is a forum, and other people are allowed to voice there as well.

There is also no need to go throwing a hissfit, just because not everyone is not in agreement with you. In fact, I am quite offended that you started resorting to insults, no where did I start insulting you!

Oh, and Locutus is not my 'Tag' buddy, and in fact I dont have one!

 

[katadder]

no burger is, and hes here joining in.
I am not throwing fits, and definately not cos you are not in agreement. i got annoyed cos you decide as I'm a playtester which was never brought up I am right.
I also never said you werent allowed an oppinion on this, we were debating it quite happily until your previous post where you decide to bring up the fact I am a playtester for no apparant reason.

also my reasoning may not be flawed, its my oppinion, and you have yours, which you say my oppinion is flawed, whose to say you are right? I even said at the start which you quoted i think the Nova would give it a good go.

learn to read the posts befor saying I am having a hissy fit cos you dont agree.

I've not seen anyone bring that up, only you

saying

But you are a Playtester, so you must always be right. So I am not gonna argue no more, I'll leave you to it!

is out of line

katadder might be right, might be wrong (I'm too hungry to check) but pulling out the "playtester" card from nowhere is a cheap tactic

Saying

why the hell you always have to be such an idiot

is more out of line, IMO. I'd definitely call that a hissy fit.

And whats with the tag team thing always going on. Reaverman and I are over 30 miles apart, and have no communication other than these boards during the day time, except the occasional unrelated email. So it's just the 2 of us independently agreeing with each other. Same as you two are now. No consipracy, no "hey I post this then you back me up"... nothing. Are we not allowed to agree with each other, without being accused of ganging up?

 

[katadder]

never heard of IM?

 

[Reaverman]

never heard of IM?

I've been at home, doing some household chores. As for Burger, he was at work. BTW, if his IT policy is like the one I work with, and Administer, using IM over a business network will get you in deep Doo-Doo.

Like Burger said, we have similar opinions (not oppinions BTW) and views. We are not joined at the hip, or have time to collaborate some consiparcy to the amusement of you.

So lets just leave it at that, and let the dust settle!

Here is a diagram for the imaginatively impaired.

The WS starts 15" form the Nova (green ellipse is WS, blue rectangle is Nova. WS can fire, Nova cannot.

If the Nova moves first then the WS can easily avoid its range. If the WS moves first then it takes the red path. The Nova moves to chase, its best plan would be to Come About and follow its red path.

So the question is, is the purple line "?" longer than 12" or not. Well by fairly simple trigonometry, yes it is. In fact with careful positioning the WS can end up over 15" away. And this is assuming it starts at 15"... the WS range is 18", so it is even more in favour of the WS.

So the WS has either got a 2nd "free" shot at the Nova, or it has got out of range.

Rinse and repeat.

mathematically, you don't have enough information to determine the length of the line in question. :lol:

I thought that as well, you need the angle between the ship headings, and the 15" line.

LBH

 

[Alexb83]

You know the length of the 'third side' of the triangle between the two marked 7.5" lines. I think you can work from there?

 

[lastbesthope]

Nope, we need at least one of the other sides of the triangle with the 15" hypoteneuse.

LBH

EDIT: But if you think you have enough info, solve it and prove me wrong :lol:

 

[Burger]

Yes you do need the angle to work it out exactly, but anyone can see from common sense that it will be more than 12". Just for kicks lets say the angle is the maximum possible for the Nova to be in arc... 45 degrees. Now I want it solved before dinner

 

[lastbesthope]

It needn't be more than 12, if they are going head to head a la game of chicken, the end range could be less than 7 inches.

As for 45 degrees, the end seperation would be just over 15.1"

Absolutely, as a playtester Katadder is subject to certain inside information but nowhere does that give anyone the right to knock him down just because you don't agree with his opinion and throw the playtester tag in his face!
