Want to play a streak cyclops against a SRM cyclops?

BTW, this is a perfect example of a fight you shouldn't take in QP.

The firestarter is huge, IS srms have twice the optimal range of IS spl. 4 SRM6A has a serious advantage in burst DPS.

You had open side torsos before you ever opened a leg.

But by all means; challenge other pilots I actively avoid direct confrontation with because they can outplay me.

Thing people don't know about the Firestarter is if you max out survival tree is super tanky. Other lights would burst in to flames with damage you put on me. I tanked those missile hits like champ for 35 ton mech And my Small pulse laser alpha 29 per shot I can fire that 7 to 8 times before I over heat those small pulse lasers recycle really fast;)

Lol. That cyclops build really rustled some jimmies. :-p. What's funny is i ran into one of those in my kit fox last month and barely got away. But my cyclops streak builds have lasers so in theory i could headshot and win. O_O

I'm not as triggered as I am hopeful that I can convince you of how bad it is.

That said; I don't think you'd be able to line up a headshot with a DOT weapon on a moving target.

Cyclops fights between two 6xSRM6a are short enough. The burst damage is absurd and the convergence/spread is very nice.

[John McClintock]

IN THEORY. :-P

[Prototelis]

In practice.

We aren't talking about something that is subjective.

[John McClintock]

Well, in practice i do have a few headshots using lasers on moving targets... So i would not rule it out completely.

I always find it funny watching people try and use lasers with there DPI set to high. They just spray there laser damage all over the place accept where they are was aiming at.

Scraping something that's already red doesn't count my dude.

No more than 45 tons, best of 3, have to bring a different mech each time. Sounds good to you?

I'm going to need someone to walk me through how you make and join groups for private games. You need premium time too, right? I want in on this shin dig even if it's just to act as a target dummy. What is this "lobby" thing?
