Then you get a throwaway ship against half the bosses, and not even counting the possibilities of how I've used Pointbeams. :lol:

I don't see what pointbeams do to kamikazi ships, but it was a joke.

However a massive piece stacked ballistics missile could put a serious dent in a mothership. [Lol it's fun to core leviathan with a tiny ship]

In fact point beams would make it a better idea to mess around with kamikazi, heck, making all the ships kamikazi could be awesome.

Use the points on aegis whoring and flak. Make it thin, go fast, tough sections. Seems like it'd work :P

Go browse the Second Assault on the Mothership thread and find the Mothership.

You keep saying its a good idea, you should go and prove it.

I can see how point beams are a problem. I can't simulate 7 other ships with different roles but against the neon illusion mockup but it failed alone, unsurprisingly. I couldn't find the mothership download and the MS1 dl is dead.

The results were interesting. 3 ballistic missiles from difference angles either got a core or some heavy damage.

2 or 1 generally did nothing.

When I spawned them some backup [3 of my own ships standing in for contestants, they did virtually 0 damage, purely distractions] 2 of them managed to core the neon illusion, this was hard to reproduce, I'd give it a 1/4 chance of working. A nice ace to pull, but if it fails you're 1 ship down. Overall I'd give it some thought.

Alpha team is almost all MIA. I frankly have low hopes for us.

Well when it comes to us Team Alpha, my ship has been ready for ages. <<
I'll PM it now.

Though I think our team might do well, atleast till the glowing guy. D:
OH and when it comes to my ship, place him into somewhat middle, if rest of the alpha team agrees, he is a bullet blocker/supporter.
