So maybe I'm wierd but I don't care about being viable in some ways. I like to try different things sometimes. Well I said I"d make a tradeskiller and I wouldn't be the top tradeskiller there was I'd go both research and construction. So no room for weaponlore or willpower . .and I didn't really feel like leveling up really high then lomming there to pure tradeskills. I wanted to have fun along the way. so I went for the only option I thought at the time.
- Melee spy
Now I must say. This was the most fun I've had on a spy in a long time. Since I coudln't handle aggies very well up close I knew I needed psi. So I went to the storage in the vehicle shop in pp3. Has nothing but TG cave mobs. So i ran TG missions hacking up quite many to get my psi levels. So now I finally got m y heal and deflector. and such so i say okay now to aggies. Now i've always had troubles with a spy in the aggie room cause I coudln't do enough dmg fast enough and I always had to hide while i reloaded and such but as a melee spy .I just roared right though them like there was no tomorrow. I was amazed. Normally in the begining I would cringe to head as a spy into the aggie room but now I was like yea!! bring them on. not long after i found myself at the mb bunker taking on launcher cyclops with a long laserblade .. and not too much longer of leveling and I was str capped and con capped from being up close. in the end my last weapon achievable was long laserblade II with drugs. (didn't have moveon so I needed x-strong and beast). I was also able to wear inq 1 armor and take down terrormaulers, hoppers and raptors. It was fun. Even went into the choas caves a few times for the fun of it and people were like wtf. You're going to die alot. And then not long after the person who said I was going to die alot is dead and i'm hacking away still o_O
Anyhow I was at a stump though it was fun and then i get this funny idea .. hmm HC . .vehicles .. mmmMMmMMmm. So I lom my melee away (yea yea i know lom >_< ) Ended up with 103 HC (i think) and 15 transport. I get myself a combat hovertech and head out to try it out.
-Combat Vehicle Spy
woo ammo is heavy but no matter it doesn't take much junk to clone it AND it doens't matter if you're overloaded since whenyou are on the vehicle it makes no difference. Before I knew it I was chewing through terrormaulers, raptors and hoppers like they were paper. I start roaring through terrorleapers and terror raptors (which i would cringe to fight before cause of their spawn) before they could even spawn anything for the most part. I was like this rules! Then I finally get ahold of a scorpion Trike. OMG so what if i can't do the max dmg cause I don't have enough HC I still do over 200 x 3 dmg per rocket burst to 3 star mobs and make short work of most of them. Grims and percs take a lil more RAWR but ah well :) . I also made a TL 19 laser cannon to get those pesky mobs off the cliffs which works out well since vehicles sorta have problems with shooting too high (althoguh with a combat hovertech you can get up pretty high on some cliffs and into areas where there are pits that mobs spawn in sometimes. Well I don't have my PSI up to cap so I decide I'd run missions. So I build myself a umm TL 42? plasma wave cannon and head intot he aggie cellers. I don't really have a choice of weapons on foot cause my dex goes into repair, vehicle, TC, and agility (might lom some agility). But it's funny how many people will be like OMG gimp gimp gimp or start laughing or wtf comments. heh then again I guess you can see that if there are a swarm of raptors at CRP and you see this spy running aruond blasting them with an unlabeled plasma cannon. But stilll why do people have to be like sometimes OMG you're stupid. Although if i'm in my trike I'd outdmg them in most cases. And I think when gliders come out maybe I"ll have myself leveled up nicely to reach those high level glider reqs :D
Anyhow the problems I hit are this for the vehicle combat tradeskilling spy. 2 star firemobs dnot' give me as much xp anymore and doomies are the next step up but they don't spawn as often as I like. 2nd if you do find some they tend to be grouped in chasers and percs more often than naught. Which when I look at it the fire mob spawning sucks. So I looked to warbots which are good 3 star mobs I can take down fast .. but since i'm a tradeskilling spy .. . I have no room for hack >_< and I need that loot for cloning my ammo and drugs. How much dmg do brutes and horrors do to scorpion trikes? I'd fight chasers and percs more but they tend to dmg the trike quite a bit which adds up in repair costs alot. I've been trying to find people around at MB and such to follow around that can hack .. but it's sorta blah .. lol. Any suggestions on this end?
So what NOT intended gimped class by public Opinion (so to speak) have you tried or are considering trying for fun. And why maybe? I'd like to know :)
