@hobo

I will happily take on your CWM X-1 load out.

Obviously we aren't talking about a situation where it was just you. There were six serco there and only me, and occasionally one other Itani. I'm not going to waste a good combat ship or rare weapon getting ganked. Nor am I going to attempt to get a single one of you to have a 1v1 bout. I was there to disrupt your Border Patrol progress.

And Hoban, I also need to point out that you were in an X-1, perhaps the only ship other than another hound that can catch a hound (which you by the way acknowledged earlier in this thread). Seems to me you are grasping at straws.

Moving on...

"False. It is not that we don't want it to thrive. It's that we don't want it to thrive at the expense of what makes it worth playing in the first place. We don't want the game to be made worse just for the sake of attracting more players.

I actually don't care if the hound gets nerfed or not. I think its fine the way it is so i'm agreeing with you here Pizza. The problem i see is the salty vet attitude of "don't change my game, I like it the way it is!" You'll end up playing with the same 20 people for another 10 years.

Thats not doing Guild or the game any good. If the future of Vendetta is mobile, so be it. Guild is caught between where the money is and pandering to the old vets and what they want. Something's gotta give.

we had Itani POS Dr. Lecters asshattery to deal with. Back then he was even a bigger douche then Greenwall now

Bojan is just grouchy because he was, relatively speaking, an embarrassment to [SKV]'s combat reputation at the time. But yeah, flying valks against Itani BP missions and R&Ring at their Deneb stations was fun...for me, at least ;)

Not grouchy at all Lecter, I think we killed each other enough times in the past so making palliative comments like you just did is unnecessary. Don't make me tell the whole true story about your BP asshattery and shameful exploitation of the itani/serco POS standing.

Honestly, I can't even remember the whole story, so I'd welcome it...I'm sure it'll be grand. But maybe OT or RP would be more appropriate fora.

Also...word choice?: adjective: palliative
1. (of a treatment or medicine) relieving pain or alleviating a problem without dealing with the underlying cause.

At some point I will post it in RP so we can all have a good laugh about the old times.

Oh, hell no! I always used to swarm nubs with lovely chaos swarms on a HogII, you should see them whine! But if this is about only hounds, please forgive me, I just had to answer.

Swarming and running with the Hog II or Atlas X will remain a perfectly viable of way of getting HWW's panties in a bunch.

Yesterday a forum mod stated to 100 there were forthcoming Big Changes for the Hound. Was Phaser drunk, or is this the new acceptable?

I assume you mean:

<Phaserlight> PSA: Houndocalypse incoming, purchase your limited editions while they last :-)

I don't really know what he meant, there may be some other context I'm missing.

I have said elsewhere that I was looking into the whole port-change thing, per this thread. I believe I mentioned it on RP.

But, I don't think that's a Houndocalypse? It also wouldn't matter how many you buy, since it'll change all existing in storage as well. But Phaserlight knows that, so I assume he was joking about something.

Yeah, there were a couple other comments too I thought...overall it was weird. Being a mod shouldn't require giving up joking around, but it seems ham-handed to do so by implying inside knowledge about unannounced GS decisions when you're known to slightly be an insider.

Anyway, I'll close out with my own little Carthago Delenda Est: The Hound Must Become Tri-KOS (and, lest the swarm babies cry, 2 S-port, too).

Well, own nation hated at least.

I really... wasn't trying to imply insider knowledge? I was referring to Incarnate's post here. I had assumed it would be common knowledge, and yes, I was joking. "Houndocalypse" is a bit dramatic and tongue in cheek; I can see how that may have come across as ham-handed. However, I'm in the same boat as you as far as actual knowledge about what the devs are planning to do.

So I'm gonna guess with 1.9 and the S & P tridents

Was there a final decision on this happening?

Soon™

the VR hound will be nerfed but us normies will still have the regular one.

@Spence

That sounds about par for the course

lol, if you read Inc's comments, I'm not sure this was or ever will a big issue. The hound is a very easy to boom fragile ship from the previous nerf.

Hoben... bignasty, dirty ore, and adawg can hit them just fine and they are all in your guild. Ask them to fly one for you and learn to hit it.
