Basically Lucispam is part of the game, which i approve, but you have to have some sense of using any gun you are given..


Maybe yes, but I just come from a game where player ClickBoom stands on the arm for most of the game continuously firing at an entrance and says he is defending the base.  Never an alien in site and when I say something about it, it is me that is the bad guy and he starts spamming me so I can't get ammo (FF off).  Time to support a different server I guess.

Your problem is with stupid players, not luci spam in itself :P

18 ) Make it too tough for the enemy to get in and you can't get out.

I agree that tyrant spam should be illeagal. After a long line of failed attacks and out-right feeding, it's not fair that I should have to deal with tyrants blocking every hallway. I'd use my luci to force it to move but I very rarily get a luci because I use up all my creds as soon as i get them. On the off-chance I do get enough to buy a luci, I'll just fire it constantly down a corridor while the tyrant just waits round a corner till I'm done and charges me. If only I had teammates with lucis to fill the reload times with more spam. The trouble is, my teammates were feeding just as much as I was.


I agree! >:U

Just in case you don't see my point, try to remember who gave them those lucifer cannons in the first place. Maybe you might want to blame your teammates for giving them the advantage.

However, if you happen to end up with endless streams of luci balls flying down your only path to victory, you might want to make cookies or play backgammon while you're waiting for the human team to attack you. They will if you make them think they can. Unless of course they don't want to win that game, and would prefer to play the 'Make people bored' game. I suck at that game =(

As for humans who don't like it, I'm not suprised. I personally don't tend to spam since it's more helpful to catch aliens when they don't expect it (Spam is too predictable). I even manage to catch my own teammates off guard occasionally. =[
