Coming to a Cinema Near You! Itan's Last Stand!
Well, after getting over the initial shock of the super-prom, I realized that today's CTC will be really interesting.
Basically, the Itanis has to defend like mad their voys, hoping that their 600 lead can last till the day. With the sercos piloting fleets of invincible proms (I just saw 5 of them in B8 just now, I laughed so hard that I fell out of my chair...then died :D), the Itanis' only chance is to throw wave after wave of suicide attacks against the proms hoping that maybe some voys will survive.
It'll be grim for them, but I think it'll make for a fun B-movie-like scenario! And since the prom is gonna get nerfed after this, today's is the only day this scenario is gonna happen!
So, come on all, come and watch Itan's last stand tonight! Maybe on Sunday, some Itani dude can say that the Nation of Itan have been saved by "The Few"....or not and Serco overrun the beleaguered Itanis in their fleets of super-proms.
But, don't forget to join today's big fight!! I know I'll be there (in a poor little IBG throwing myself against the steel wall of proms!)

[EDIT : Man, I think people here should have at least the senses to realize a joke when they see one.]

Hehe. Invinsible? Hardly.
Try using the Rune Valk, the SC prom has a wonderful pain of draining 65e/s in turbo, making it more than a bit useless in anything where it has to get to an attacker, and reaching a transport (or keeping up with your own) was impossible.
I have yet to get into a nice 1vs1 fight that I'd normally be equal / lose in order to give a good judgement, but as it feels right now, its not quite as uber as people has been making it out to be. I think most pilots have lost their edge with fighting an un-nerfed prom since the last update added mass to weapons and finally nailed the prom.
This update hasn't moved it beyond what it was then, and I'm fairly confident that I'll be able to take on most of the prom pilots in my Maud or Vulture.
The fact that people fly the cent is a good reason they get slapped by a prom, the cent is a -lovely- ship, but cannot roll-dodge in the manner that is effective against the GT.
When the prom is usable with a plasma devastator, thats when you should whine that its overpowered ;-)

Yeah, but they're so used to not having any worthy opponent to counter the Valk. They're flabbergasted as to why they'd have to use skill to beat a Prom when for as long as most of them have been playing, it's been a pushover.
You can't blame them when they've been babied for all this time.
Oh give me a break, you act like the serco have been "taking it easy on the itani" for so long.
Spider: 65 e/s is more than useable. Have you fought and beaten one yet from a light fighter?
ctishman: look, Niki is, imho the best fighter in the game, when he is the only one who stands a chance against one of these proms, it's not a matter of a lack of skill.
Kix: babied? The itani have lost 6 times in a row...
Oh, I'm sorry, you know what, you guys are right, the serco have always been the best, and the itani are just a bunch of whiners *cough*prom*cough*. You guys don't seem to have any spirit of balance goin here. It's just joy at having the uber ship.
look, sputnik and I tended to be pretty even in our duels. but when I can't pull even a decent showing, am I wrong in thinking that something is up?
