Whoops my bad, everyone says Valkyre, Eagle, Sabre, or Titan, or maybe Anubis.

Ya... especially when they are wrong.

You just cant beat a Hammerhead with skyblasts.

Nono.. it's Eagle and Nomad guns!

I have to disagree. The Hammerhead is the ultimate with rapid firing guns. The nomad cannons shoot way too slowly, and the eagle is too sluggish to go up against a hammerhead. Unless you use missiles.

I believe the topic of this thread was that everyone should stop posting about which ship/loadout is the best.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And why should everybody stop posting polls and whatnot about ships and weapons loadouts because Parabotix says so. Helloooooo! This is a forum where such things are discussed. It a freedom of speech thang guys. Post whatever poll or question you want about Freelancer that's what the fourm is for.

Not to be rude, this freedom thing cuts both ways ol Parabotics. Just as anybody can post a question you are not obliged to open and read a thread that you know is going to tick you off. Now you all go play nice now.

Give the man a break... He was just blowing off some steam. No need to flame him (again).
About the questions... there will always (well at least for 2-3 months or so) be newbies asking the same questions again and again... Live with it, and don't read and reply to crap.





Cpbuja ybuja!

A possible solution...

Make one of those "best ships/guns/yaddayadda" topics a sticky so newbies wouldn't have to start new threads and bore the old-timers to death.

sounds good, and, everyone please respect parabolix and find an other thread to post about which ships beter.

I talk like that cuz m punked out.

Sorry, but I have to agree to the author of this thread. This argument has gone long enough!! If any other threads I see, I will report and a Mod will lock the thread!

Starflier and a complete loadout of Javelins, there is nothing sweeter!



================================
Bar patron: "You some kind of Nooby?"
Trent: "Uuuh, Huuuh"

There are two edges to every sword and I have to agree with both in this case.

Yes this topic has been discussed to ad-infinitum. However there will be noobs who are new to the forum and just want to know (the inquiring mind type of thing). So I can see where they would simply want to ask the obvious question.

Freedom of speech is important and the ability to simply choose not to participate in a thread or to start or reply to one is equally so. If everyone agreed it would be an awfully boring place this planet of ours.

I think the sticky idea is a good one as there are a great many of these types of discussions out there. I do see the noobs point of view particularly if they want to know when they have gotten a response and it tells them in the mail click. But for us "old timers" it gets monotonus and frustrating when the same questions come up again and again.

Lets just say I am in agreement with both sides of this argument and then lets try and find a solution together that all can live with. I think giving sage advice and direction is much more constructive than simply ripping into any one group with a question or problem and hoping it fixes itself.

On that note any constuctive Ideas gentelman or ladies about what to do with this?

Just some thoughts from the edge of space!

Hell, there's a *very* simple solution to this. Two actually.

>> If you don't like the topic, don't read it.
No one's forcing you to read it, and likewise no one's forcing you to post in it. Even if the big "FAVOURITE WEAPONS POLL!" topic title wasn't clear enough for you to avoid the subject matter, you don't need to post in that forum - let alone read the content - to get back out of it again.

>> If you do like the topic, then fair enough.
Same as above, only in reverse. And fair enough; why should a topic I make require you to like it? It doesn't, and vice versa. So skip it if you don't, and post in it if you do.

There may be a lot of polls, but there are just as many duplicate topics of othet content: modding, tutorials, why I hate, why I love, why can't you, etc, etc. To say multiple poll topics are 'too much' is hypocrisy in action. The pot calling the kettle black, as it were.

So, to reiterate: Don't like it, don't read it.

It's called common sense.

Ok.... NOOBS have just as much right to post here as "old timers". Old timers do not own this forum, and there is absolutely no need to be an ass about it.
