One Shot

The question says it all!

Only vote in an option if you clearly recall or remember the event, or are sure it happened at least once!

Include kills that were only possible because your teammates weakened them - as long as your shot got the kills!

Here are mine:

One enemy (thanks, Captain Obvious)
One goon :dragoon:
One rant :tyrant:
Two goons :dragoon::dragoon: (it happened once while I was playing on uncreation - one of them got hit directly and died and the other got killed by the AoE)
3 enemies :dretch::dretch::dretch: (if not in a game, then on the Invasion server)
My teammate :human:/ :helmet: / :battlesuit: (They walk in front of my luci after I fire it! How am I not supposed to kill them?)
My base :reactor: (By accident, of course - when the aliens are all over it after they get the rets, where do you expect me to fire? If the aliens are in the base I will fire in the base!)

I think I also got :dragoon::tyrant: once but I'm not sure.

i once killed an injured tyrant while aiming for myself (niveus luci jump up to the ledge, he picked the exact right moment to come out the door) and many many dretches in the same situation.

Ok let's plan it out. Asva, you are nub, go sit on rets, I will build, you two go feed like hell, you go pwn their asses, and everyone else camp in the hallway, roger?

I remember trying to kill a rant while the damn thing was swiping my reactor, too bad the Rant moved away the the low luci ball was heading straight to the smoking rec....

Also I managed to swipe off 3 dretches and a goon, but thats because the goon was very low on health and got killed by the splash damage. The dumbass dretches were huddled together in one spot and they just got owned, I almost felt bad for them.

I find it interesting that only 9 out of the 13 voters have voted for 'One enemy' (which is implied by most of the following options). Perhaps it would have been better to make your options mutually exclusive.

Also, I ticked all of them. I've played this game enough to be quite sure I've done them all.

Well, since I've gone and said I've done it, I suppose it's only fair that I find an example >.< (of course I could just set it up using multiple clients >.>).

I'll bring proof of the more rare options later (after finishing some uni-work).

I am proud to say I have never killed more than a couple of turret/teslas with a poorly aimed luci shot.
Then again, shooting from outside the base at a tyrant who is attacking the turrets is not going to produce good results. Especially if the Tyrant dies before your shot gets there.

I've gotten many multi-kills with luci, including 2 goons, rant+goon, a few 4x kills, and if you count bots, then all other options too.
techhead: Luci is NOT for defending your base. You either kill with it from (very) short range, attack enemy base, or you use some other weapon. If you really have to kill a rant in your base, you better get close while charging and aim at his bbox top edge, so if it misses, it probably hits ceiling.

Well after a quick search, the nearest thing I could find was this. It's not a one shot affair but the goon does pounce into the back of all the balls at once, before they hit the wall (perhaps not obvious, since the demos don't show moving projectiles, but I'm ahead of the balls).

once i played at FUN, and we had like a super bot match at puchcannon, and we all got jetpacks and lucis and went up in the air, there was like 21 bots that were dretch, and they would all group up below u, and all u had to do was fully charge luci and u would kill um all... one i can remember clearly, i shot it and i killed all 21 dretches it was crazy! at the end of the game i had 590 kills....

I think I remember killing like 8 players at once with a full charge. I can't remember what classes they were but I remember most of them were dretches.

I had a devmap on my server once and had 20 or so dretches in the little box in transit, where i promptly shot a full luci and killed them all :)

I usually use luci for base killing so I didn't have massive multiple kills - well, except dretches (obvious though)... I killed quite a lot maras by calculating when and where they'll land, also goons that way, but what I'm the most proud of is killing maras and goons mid-air or luci jumping above tyrants for epic getaways. ;D
Grenade kills, multiple grenade kills, luring enemies on sneakily thrown grenades is rarer to happen to most players I think - or at least those kills make me more proud than luci blasting 8)

Its occasionally possible to fall out of the atcs (dead of course) map if you use a Turret/reactor/goon as a boost and a luci as an accelerator. 

Step 1:  Build a Turret in the highest possible location, in the middle, in atcs (or stand on a goon on this location [hard to do]) then climb on top of it.

Step 2:  Aim down.

Step 3:  Change your angle so that your back is facing at a 45 degree angle with the edge of the blue forcefield around the middle.

Step 4:  Charge luci till it starts to beep, then just a bit longer than fire.

Step 5:  Watch as you complete amazing acrobatics and fly over the wall (or through it in somecases) and hit the skybox.

Step 6:  OR you could have just used the jetpack.   :P
