Massive and powerful weapon should consume tonns of ships energy:
+ Set 15 grid usage for AGT
+ Set 8 grid usage for hive AGT

[EDIT]Some other ideas about AGT:

.. and many more

the thing already weighs a brick an can only hit people stupid enough to fly into it.

if you don't like fighting people who have it then don't but you do not need to make the weapon retarded just to get your way

Raising grid usage for AGT will not prevent ppl from using it, but this'll prevent pilots from abuse.

And hive AGT will be much valuable than it is atm.

First, hive AGT no longer drops, so that's a fail.

Second, your this'll prevent pilots from abuse point starts from a false premise: AGT is already properly integrated into the game and cannot be abused, only used well or opposed by someone flying like a fucking moron. I'm sorry you don't like fighting heavies, but I and everyone else could really care less. GFY.

oh god if this stops those annoying fucks from ramming you from behind with flares and then spamming agt while hardly facing you in a furball yes please do it.

Eh, surb has to do something, pey. We all know he can't (and has never been able to) actually fly.

The agt ramming is annoying, though ive had good success in some furballs with proximity mines, and even l mines. Given that you have to fly into the damn things, I hardly see them as cheap, especially compared to the method pey mentioned. On one instance I was able to take out 2 people using that method simultaniously, and a third in the same guild who was using a light fighter, none of them returned to the furball after that.

Ok...well then lets nerf newb blasters, neuts, ravens, behemoths, ec-88/89's, and anything else that someone good could use to kill you with ease. Or are you only mad that someone figured out a way to kill you? I have no problems with the AGT either using it or fighting against it. Please take this [tissue] and go cry on the RP forum.

nah, Jmvcilus, I am not asking to nerf AGT fighting abilities, I only propose to raise grid usage for it. This will prevent from using dual AGT taurs and Tunguska maud, AGT + dual flare prom, rev or wraith. And yes, I think two flares with AGT are too much, one is more than enough, especially for furball.

And yes, I think . . .

Nobody cares.

"AGT + dual flare prom, rev or wraith."

Banned forever.

Pirren, a simple way to dodge an AGT is to barrel roll. Switch directions if someone flare spams you.

I do think the hive AGT should come back and be more valuable, also, but that is for another thread.

the amount of hypocrisy in this thread is astounding. anyways, AGT is not overpowered (though it is something of a crutch, and most everyone knows it).

Ah, VO's self-appointed moral majority of one deigns to enlighten us. How nice.

heh. and to think you used that phrase to describe a liberal. so close...

The liberals/progressives suffer from the exact same self-righteous, holier-than-thou mindset that the bible thumpers do, so I'm spot on. You each just think you know well enough to dictate to others about different areas; your gut feelings about how to bridge any given is-ought chasm are no different from, or more rationally grounded than, those of the knuckle-draggers who decided whether it was time to burn some witches.

and your unrelenting need to judge in return makes you better... how? look in a mirror mate :)

look at that. it's time for a lock.

The difference is that I don't think my judgments worthy of enforcement by the State -- just by me. Whole different level of arrogance there, you miserable runt.

putting words in my mouth there lecter. projecting maybe?
