from a klingon perspective (and i guess feds are ok 2) what are the annoying thing that feds do in pvp
allow me to list some of the things that annoy me


1. a cruser hitting rsp before your first volly has even reached it

2. you have managed to find a lone fed cruser the outher klingons are far away fighting the main group you decloak and attack. suddenly the fed cruser for some strange reason uses scramble targeting sensors
(this is a verry common thing as well) this abiltys never worked on me i have the habbit of looking at something before i fire + i dont just tab throgh targets even in a crouded battle ive never seen annouther klingon go and attack a team mate

3. so your in the middle of battle attacking this cocky escort in front of you, receving fire from various ships as you and your team battles when a cruser comes in to range
and immidiatly puts jam sensos on you making its self invisble to you!!
but as you wern't firing at it in the 1st place it dosent do a single thing except annoy you

i could go on but i wouldent want to take everything from the rest of u guys. the feds can look at this thread to and maybe stop dooing annoyingly stupid things!!

    If i drain some engine power from my victim, they stand still and shoot on me with turrets. Noone bothers to change power settings to engines to actually fly and turn, and they continue to shoot me with turrets. Its truly one of the facepalm moments.

    when you pop a JS on someone and they just do nothing at all, just continue to head to where ever they were going, no turning, no defenses they just go boom. I am beginning to think some ships in pvp are actually npc's

    Not faction-specific, but it really irritates me when teammates under Scramble Sensors just blithely shoot at me for the entire duration, as if they are incapable of understanding how the ability works.

    Also, anyone on my team who's under the effect of my Extend Shields who randomly flies as far away from me as possible.

    Also, any Cruiser who wastes a precious Sci BOff power slot on Jam Targeting Sensors, Scramble Sensors, or Tachyon Beam.

    Keep in mind frequently turrets and beams are usually on auto-fire. So, you come into range, they start firing, whether it makes sense or not.

    For #2 and #3, it almost sounds like people are confusing the 2 powers.

    Thinking your escort is a stationary gun turret
    It's not a bonus, it lowers your evasion and it means I have to sit on your rear and kill you.

    It's not big and it's not clever, stop it.

    Yeah, although I think it has more to do with the Control setting that says if you hit space bar it will attack the first target in range. Normally, when you get confused, you can just manually select a target and keep firing (one nice thing about the USS vs IKS prefix). But if you click to heal an ally, and then hit space bar without thinking to resume your attacks, you start unloading on the closest target who may in fact be friendly.

    some are just trigger happy and will not stop shooting until they are killed, in a CP map i had to pop rsp to avoid being killed by a player on my side. Tbh if it was a salvage map i might have killed him instead of using the rsp.

    Well not really annoying but sorta funny, ran into a cruiser last night who had two rear mine launchers. He was just staying in one place launching a ton of mine spam and I just sat there watching what he was planning. He just stayed in one place shooting my teammate with his forward beams. I guess he thought the mines would kill or hurt anyone that came near him so I uncloaked went up to him and set off all the mines then proceded to kill him. He didn't try to broadside anyone; it is almost like he thought he was on a mission against some pve klings.

    This was in a match with 5 fed cruisers and only one had any idea what they were doing. I think only 2 of the cruisers had rsp and none had extend shields and a lot of them were ejecting warp plasma.

    Ejecting Warp Plasma and laying mines is fun. Don't discount their fun. Fun! Fun is fun! We should all relax a bit and have more fun from time to time.

    It's not like that cruiser crew got any less xp for losing. Especially at RA5 if that's what you all were, lol.

    ;)

    In space PvP the most annoying practice is to run off from the group to get ambushed while in FI. Note to feds: never use FI when your enemies are cloaked.

    In ground PvP the most annoying thing is also failure to stay together. Add to that the fact that apparently people don't open their maps to see where people are.

    That ... that can't be true. Can it?

    I mean ... that might explain a lot of things I've seen. But ... people can't be ... that ... oblivious to the obvious?

    No. I refuse to believe that.

    I'll sooner believe in Subspace Anomalies causing problems with their keyboards than I will in not using the M button to keep yourself from being flanked by an emeny in a map/battleground that amounts to being one big circle.

    The complete failure of logic there would implode all of Vulcan. No red matter needed.

    I personally believe this is because some lifeforms out there in our quadrant don’t have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as Qo'Nos and, uh, the Deep Space K7 everywhere like, such as.

    1) The burst damage is so rediculous now, you can even die with RSP up in under 3 seconds. Don't want this to happen, then talk to Cryptic.

    2) I have seen klingons do this too.

    3) See 2

    If I see an escort light and start firing CRF at me I am going to hit RSP because it is highly possible as it shreds my shields and passes to my hull I am dead and won't be able to help my team.

    My biggest peeve is the evasive+ramming to knock your hull down 50% while an escort comes behind hammering your shields and if you are lucky enough to survive that SNB so 2 escorts can hammer your shields until your hull pops.

    How can anescort survive ramming speed on a cruiser or any other ship 3-4 times it size and hulliness. The ramming speed needs to really do more damage to the user if they survive.

    this can rarly happen unless you get an alpha off all 5 of the klingons but 1 ship,..
    that 1 ship would have to do over 400000 energy dammage to you to get enough bleed throguh to kill you
    thats impossble in the 4 secconds your on about. things like that are a case of LTP NOOB and yet annouther annoying thing about feds.
    stop whining larn to use skills

    keep in mind that if they don't use rsp then they will probably die.

    I've lobbed a Scramble Sensors on a solo enemy before, gambling on the fact that when they try to buff themselves they'll accidentally buff me instead as they have me targeted. My incurred loss if my gamble fails? Nothing.

    And it has worked SO. MANY. TIMES. I really have to wonder what those Federation engineering teams are thinking when they beam over to a Bird of Prey and start repairing my hull... do any of them stop and wonder why the decor is so red?

    The only time feds annoy me, is when they join a match, and just sit still and give up.

    Abilities wise, nothing bothers me.

    Since last patch using RSP against a strong Alpha strike is pretty normal, else ur death. Unless you can change shield facings.

    what? ur ship config must be off. My Star Fleet Eng, in a AC, using RSP1, and a tact in a BoP can burn threw it. (mebbe burn isn't the right word). My Klingon Tact. in a BoP can still do damage to players using RSP1 (its like it goes down and then back up, down...up....untill the RSP1 duration is over, extreme damage)

    If they (either side) uses RSP I just switch target, no point in giving them free shields.
    Although the w/ FBP, w/ my Star Fleet toons, I just keep firing, if i die, i die.


    Annoying thing Fed wise, I make a arrogant comment, they comment on my comment, leaving them open, while they type. (its fair, if it wasn't, a ingame voice comm, would have been implemented.)

    Hehehehe

    I used to do that just to wind people up, make em go for me at the exclusion of other people.

    Angry people are easier to kill.

    I kinda stopped now though, I just don't have the heart anymore *sigh*

    Escorts popping mines.....yes, I've seen it.

    Escorts without any defensive abilities whatsoever. As a cruiser captain, just try and keep one of them alive.

    Raptors/Bops/escorts who can't understand how they can't kill you with RSP going, yet continue to try anyway, then die. Get out of range, then come back, yes it's slower, but still.

    Whats wrong with escorts dropping mines, when escorts are the only ships capable of using highest dispersal patterns ? Maybe you should wake up from you "only way" all forward cannon fairy tale.
