Spoiler We did completely steam roll the Enemy and the pink patrol did do a lot of work. Edited January 12, 2018 by Shadowrigger1 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe 1200 damage? Meanwhile he'll be nuked in the process. Which will make it all the more difficult for the team to win, or even do damage due to being outnumbered.

You can only keep up that behavior for so long, especially at T10, before you'd run out of cash right fast (to say nothing of the fact attempting a TK while pink extends your Pink time by a HUGE factor, like jumping from 15 games to work it off to 50, I know, I've had it happen against the damn bots). To be honest, when dealing with a teamkiller clan/division, I just want out of the match as soon as possible. Why prolong the suffering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why give the reds a free damage farm? Plus you don't go pink for that. Basically, the difference is, is denying some random player who you don't know, and may not care, some damage, worth your own lower score by not using that last strike on an enemy? My outlook is, the red team is there to feed me credits/XP, and I'm going to wring every last drop out of them I can. I couldn't care less whether or not some random dude gets more rewards, but the enemy team screws me out of enough as it is, and that affects me personally. I'm not going to voluntarily help them screw me further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Except I don't think you actually get to see this. And the thing about teamkillers is that they can be incredibly aggressive to the enemy too, so if they YOLO they might actually each take a few down with them.

I take the, "I may lose, but you won't win," approach. I may lose the match/ship, but you won't win the XP on me. That's just it though. You've already lost the match and the ship, you're just robbing yourself of extra rewards for the trifecta lol. It's like guys who resist arrest even when there's no hope of escape. I mean sure, if that elbow to the cop's midriff or breaking his nose is worth the possible retaliation and extra jail time.... Different strokes for different folks I guess.

And at any rate, I know that the reds want that 60k Damage on me, more than anything else, and the whole point of PLAYING is to stop that from happening at all times, while trying to get damage on them. If I reach a point in a match where my ability to dispense damage is likely to be 0 or near zero, then my sole objective is to deny the enemy damage on me, which, if I'm in a CV, means scuttling. I'd rather stop you from getting 60k damage on my Essex than get the maybe 5-10k damage on you from that last torp wave, if I even have enough to form a squad that can GET hits. Fair enough.

I supposed I'm a bit more vindictive. Its also a realist perspective. One can earn greater rewards by ending the match sooner and starting a new one than by dragging out the definite loss.

My situation with playtime generally is such that I have time for 2-3 matches. Saving a few extra minutes doesn't give me enough time for a whole extra match.
