Cash and Motherships

I wish to know a few things (yes, another cash related a sort of questions)..Firstly, who on this community has a midranged mothership (over 1T power or close to it) without using money?

Secondly, who has ever lost a cash built mothership to somebody simply because their power is bigger and they probably couldn't mass **Filtered** without overpowering you?

Thirdly, who here hates it when these 'people' talk big and act like jerks when they probably couldn't even compete with you?

This has nothing to do with me, it just randomly sprung into my head. I've been working on my mothership as hard as I can (not much lately though), and I seem to only be dropping rank so I began to think what could cause this.

I've fought some of the largest motherships in the game in the past. Cash built, hard work, and I must admit..the cash built ones usually are not anywhere near the skill of the hard work. Some of the cash built ones are so pathetic that they even had 1 hit to break my shields and didn't even repair their shields while I was massing/repairing..What are your thoughts on this subject? :o

Oh and.."OMG CASH ZOMG!"

Cash built MS's have no understanding of MS power and only hard worked ones will understand the work behind it and treat it like a proper weapon

Cash can't buy exp which is more important than anything to my knowledge but it is pesky sometimes that cash builders have a big mouth JUST BECAUSE they have a lot of cash to spent...

Re: Cash and Motherships

id like to think... that a 1trill ms is over the midrange ms(might be a midrange cash ms but not altogether)...hopefully

i hope your not trying to talk about me here, because you sometimes mistake talking big to talking proudly and unashamedly, there is a big difference

and like with everything else its my believe that the short cut or cheat or whatever is never as rewarding, if you buy an ms of course you won't straight away know how to mass, just because you have the goods, doesn't mean you have the skillz

I said 'around' 1T.

I am not talking about you..it actually has nothing to even DO with you. :lol:

I'm just wondering on how quiet a few people see this situation.

Re: Cash and Motherships

hmmm... I have one about 600B with no cash spent on it. And I doubt it could ever compete with any of the cash built ones, though I am trying to boost it up to 1T pretty soon.

Re: Cash and Motherships

my ms is getting close to 1 tril power another 95tril naq to go lol. and i haven't spent anymoney on the game whatsoever.

i think that you don't apreciate your ms if you have bought it. i have worked on my ms and sacrificed many things to grow it. mostly other peoples naq. :-D but i would never have the same thought process about it if i had bought it.

My MS was earned, was yours. Join the U.S. marines. :-D

Re: Cash and Motherships

Cash, alliance taxes, same difference.

Underlying fact is that MS field got raped since the last update by the combination of silly technology being introduced and the big war.

In the past 16 months the arguably most balanced aspect of main got tipped to a ludicrous degree. No mortal without a fat checkbook or fat alliance support will reach 3tril MS on his own, ever lol.

I look forward to the inevitable QQs when certain things change and the problems become even more evident - forcing admin to put 1 & 1 together and nerf the field. :razz:

I greatly disagree. The 'understanding' comes in time from practise. Don't link building an MS up directly to playing experience and MS understanding...I know someone who built there MS to well over 1.2t but they have barely a clue how to use it properly....

ultimately though.. what skill is there in this game now? The leaders of now are nothing to the masters of old, why I reside myself to primarily forum presence opposed to ingame.
