i cant hit prometheus

Feb 14, 2005 ananzi link
seems like i cant hit prometheuses with the guns im using.

i am the greatest shot in the whole game... so i dont see
what the problem is. proms are huge. i can hit an apple off
an ants head. not just a normal apple too. an ant's apple.

i know some people say 'whats an ants apple, no such thing'.
its not true. ants have their own kind of apple. they bred it.
midgets in africa bred the first small apples. then they
bred them for their pet dogs too. but after a while
the ants started eating them, and then they started harvesting
and breeding apples themselves.

seriously, there are ant apples. and i can shoot one off
an ants head.

now, thsi brings us back to the prom. the prom is much
larger than an apple, even an ants apple. but the prom
is also moving a lot more than an apple. you know why?

ill tell you why. because APPLES DONT HAVE THRUST.
thats why.

now i know what you are thinking. what about the santraginus
V apples? they have thrust. thats how they grow to a nice
cherry blue all over themselves. they rotate with the sun using
apple jets in the stem and bottom.

well let me just tell you this, most apples dont have thrust.

now, as for the prom, i think i could hit it , if i could
only move with it. but i cant. you know why?

because i dont have a fast joystick computer.

i think this is a bug... not with the game... but with
society. every person should have a joystick. its just
a god given right. its the only decent way to set up
a civilization: everyone gets a joystick.

its not something frivolous like health care or housing.
people can do well without those things. why, before
he became president, president bush was a homeless
cokehead who let a festering boil rot on his leg for 3
months because he couldnt afford a doctor and didnt want to
be 50,000 dollars in debt to a hospital emergency room.

you know why? becuase his dadday always used to smack
him around. GEORGE GODDAMINT he would say, NEITHER A BORRORWEr
NOR A LENDER BE. GODDAMIT READ YOUR BIBLE.

and george believed this for years. until he got to yale. then
he found out that that wasnt in the bible. it was in shakespeare.

he called his dad and asked for an apology. his dad said
'oh my god. what have i done. WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!'

that is why george sr threw the election. its why he barfed
on that japanese guy at the big diplomatic dinner. its why
he ... stared at his watch during the debate. 'my father
game me this watch, and here i am, i beat my kid because
i thought something was in the bible and it wasnt'.

but there was an angel and a devil on his shoulders. the
devil said 'well, what about all the times you beat george jr
about things that ARE in the bible? like thou shalt not
covet?'

george sr said to himself right. shouldnt get down on myself.
ccant be perfect everytime you beat someone for a reason.
sometimes that reason is wrong. but thats ok. because most
of the time that reason is right. and i raised a good honest
moral son and i cant complain about that. not like my brother
jeb. his kids are a bunch of drugged up jigolos. i swear to god
if he wasnt governor his whole family would be in jail.

----
anyways, what was i saying?

bush knows that i cant hit a prom. the ants know it.
you know it. prom drivers know it.

i beg, i BEG. for the new hornet. only in a new hornet
with a heavy battery and 4 rails will i be able to take on
a prom. only then will i be able to use my supershot
capabilities to their fullest extent.

until then i will just run the hell away, hoping
those stupid rockets dont hit me.

Why is this in the bug forum? It seems like it should be posted in role playing, or off-topic, or maybe just not at all...

I think Off-Topic will do

The question is not whether you can hit a Prometheus, the question is whether the Prometheus can hit you.

Keep running.

:-D

LOL

Ok, firstly get in a rev C, and then load up two neut2s or 3s. There are people in Vendetta who are very skilled at taking apart ram-proms, Niki and Eldrad to name a couple...

But dude, a hornet? Good luck with that.

I'm starting to understand the arguments against the prometheus now.

Let me tell you my story. I was off trading just yesterday, Bulk procurement mission for plasteel materials. Loading up my big brawling centaur with a pair of hammers and a Positron blaster I went out in the world to see if this task was impossible or not.

Sure as anything, halfway during my mission, just heading back through grey space, I meet an Orion Rev. C. Amused, I hail it with a pair of easily dodged jackhammers. Rolling, bickering the tower of brick around I meet it. At some point during our combat, a second pair of jackhammers miss my target.

At the end of this scenario there was a dead Rev C. A centaur at 91%, and not a single jackhammer which had hit.

Of course, with players like this, the Prometheus will seem impossible to kill.
