Dear fellow falcon pilots. I witnessed something today that was awesome yet somewhat useless. We managed to scout a planet clear up to the arty section and we had some fights like this with a good team and wiped them because of the arty strike. That was the awesome part. The useless part was that we spent so long scouting that we didn't have time to take advantage of it and never took the planet. Scouting is great and very useful but may i suggest that at some point, you have to switch off and take the planet. My opinion is you should stop before you get to the arty strike because once you have that, no one wants to drop to defend the planet (maybe once if they don't realize you have the arty which is what happened to the team we fought). Then your stuck try to ghost drop a planet to victory. This is just a suggestion though, feel free to scout as much as you want but if you want to get to Terra, please help on the attack.

For what it's worth -

It's funny you posted this. We were actually joking about that in Davion TS earlier. That you guys had the world up over 90% scouted but only like 27% at ceasefire in invasion.

Props to CJF on overall performance though.

Yea...figured we would be a bit of a laughing stock after this. Granted, it was nice to see how devastating the long tom is against an enemy team but that match was just no fun at all. I was all tense at first thinking we were going to get rolled as it was just a few KCom and some random guys but the long tom just wrecked them. Other than that, complete waste of time.
