Trust me.
Head butt to the knee is so...not a good idea.

I believe the Cannon he is talking about is the main Auto Cannon console. However, while it is not easy to use in PvP, I have done it with GREAT success. To the OP: Cloak is your friend for using that cannon. Also get others to pin down the enemy for you and blow them to dust.

I agree that this phrase makes one not interested in what the poster has to say.

Perhaps replacing it with, "I's butthurt"?

PvP is my favorite part of the game too bad it blows and Cryptic/PWE doesn't want to do anything about it lol.

Quantums, Plasmas, Chronitons, even Photons would all have been a better choice than Transphasic. But isn't there a rumour that the Transphasics will get a boost to 40%?

As you list a Situation it can help you kind of make my point for me. But it is very weak and worse than being weak is it's stupidity and long cooldown time and that applies to both the HoH'SuS and the Aquarius. Also throw in Saucers and Vectors.

IMO the cooldown for all those abilities should be one minute from docking. But I am getting off topic.

"would have been delt with in the past 6 month and it hasnt."

There's stuff that's bugged since release.

Best -- Polarize Hull, full speed to engines, hope you get away, then cloak.

Dump your warp plasma on the way. :p

It's good for the "good day to die" Dil reward, though.

I have not heard this rumor and even if they penetrated 100% they would still suck compared to the other Torps lol. They deal PATHETIC damage and do so very infrequently.

The Saucers and Vectors are totally different things. Yes, they spawn pets which are... mildly useful... (I have killed a number of folks due to the surprise Tractor Beam from the Odyssey Saucer LOL) but what makes these features worthwhile is that they make your ship more deadly and more maneuverable. They are extremely beneficial abilities to have unlike the weak fighter pets.

The Aquarius is nice Vs. Spam due to its Point Defense Turret.
