<font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>Traditional newb mistake #1: Buying a titan Traditional Newb mistake #2: Flying the titan to New york to impress the newbs without properly equipping it Traditional newb mistake #3: Feeling secure in underequipped Titan, challenging a well equipped saber or eagle to a duel and getting embarassed by dieing in 3.03 seconds. Traditional newb mistake #4: Running out of cash because of no attempt to make money at crete/malta before flying to NY. This is followed by a realization that all AI in NY hates you and you dont have money to buy your rep up with them. Traditional newb mistake #5: Feeling secure in titan, challenging a drake to a duel, and getting splattered by a well placed ripper mine Traditional newb mistake #6: Torpedos are for killing battleships. There are none (killable) in MP, so why do you have one equippe....BOOM Traditional newb mistake #7: "I rule in SP, so when i get my eagle/titan/saber you are all dead". Traditional newb mistake #8: feeling strong in Titan, picking on that weak starflier that´s level 40, equipped with rippers and sports a well-known clan tag. Traditional newb mistake #9: "What is engine kill all about anyway?" (if you dont use this, you are going to lose alot of duels) Traditional newb mistake #10: talking smack before you have a good rep, know who the major players are, and/or are beyond the need of goodwill. That´s my top ten list. I see these things probably 20 times a day. It doesn´t take long to get the dream machine of choice, so i feel it´s the newbishness for the first 2 weeks after getting it that is the biggest problem. <hr size=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE></font><font face=´trebuchet ms, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica´ size=2> I had to chuckle on that one. Good Job. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I have a ok rep, basically the only bum factions that hate me (Saying in the red hostile) are the Red Hessians, LWB, and the Bundscuh. I haven´t been to Britonia yet, but I´m sure it´s going to be bad. ________________ <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=´http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/cwm/cwm3d/3dbiggrin3.gif ´> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
