for the love of god and all that is holey. please slow down the transports a little. By late friday and saturday it get to the point that no matter what ship you have you can't catch up to it. You must kill it as it un-docks or wait for the next one. theres no catching up.

Make the max speed what ever it uses late thursday night.

thanks you

For the love of god PLEASE!!!!!

Have you tried chasing it in a hog2?

Guys, on Saturday night the Trannie is so fast, that even if you chased it in an infiniboosting Hog2 at 220m/s, you wouldn't catch it. Here's why:
I have a sector load delay, maybe 2 - 7 seconds. The Trannie has zero delay.
Now factor in that I have to shoot - if I shoot, I can't jump WH.
So Jestatis is right - you either Whack it at the start, (or people whack it at the Wormholes) - or you give up chasing. You wont catch it. Try it Glunnator, you'll see.

Use the brain. You can wait for it at wormhole.

AND SHOOT INTO THE FACE!!!1!11 pew pew pew

It's easy to catch a transport on a Friday or Saturday... they still travel slower than a fast interceptor, and you can jump ahead of them to meet them coming out the other side. Use your brain. The transports don't have them.

When they were slower, they were too slow. Much too slow. Now they require pre planning. It's not like the route changes every convoy.

Saturday 12pm GMT i challenge anyone of you to catch a transport after it has left Bratus C5 or Sedina L2.

O'm not saying slow it down totally. I'm just saying make thurday night the max speed.

I'd do it, but I work until 9 PM EDT, and I think it may be over by then.

This is old as hell. If you dig into the forum, you'll probably find posts by Lin and others of the SAF era asking to slow them down and make them better armored. Killing a bot at max speed isn't fun very long, it's the battle that you can have around it.

*if* you can reach it.

warping ahead of it still seems best to me.
warp, wait, pew, yoink, run.
simple, no?

1 stop whining
2 get a valk
3 get someone to pick up the cargo behind you
4 CtC is getting neteured so be patient

what? pirating difficulties? boo hoo, cry me a river.

glun, it's not that simple when you have people defending the transport. you can't simply jump ahead and wait it out. that with the penalty-less jumps of ctc transports makes it hard to achieve much.

besides, the f50 enzo engine in those ships makes no f-g sense. this constant balancing trend on here is really a turn-off. it killed a lot of ships and gameplay.

there used to be up to a dozen people playing against each other on the same transports. now you're lucky to find a single opponent who's interested.

but hey. just voicing out. given i'm no longer a paying member, i suppose i dont have a say.
