So I have a quandary.
- On one hand I've been gradually building a Shocktrain Rog to annoy and delight (me). Neither the 'trains nor the Rog are even remotely close to meta and I don't care. But both appeal to me from a purely FU hanger standpoint. I've been enjoying my fledgling Rogging and will continue to do so. The Rog is 2/5 and the 'trains are 1/8 and 1/10.
- On the other, I'm gradually building an Blaze/Ember Imperial Hades after being inspired by our good man ʂɬɛɛƖ . A flaming Hades seems sufficiently FU to pass muster for me to put it to use. I'm still building the Ember and just bought the Hades (1/5) a few days ago. My Blazes are 1/9 and 1/11. Also, there are rumors (thus far unsubstantiated) of a possible nerf to push sales of those flaming turd guns.
So which should I go for first: the 'trains or the Blazes?

Uh, duh. Noobtrain. Totally FU. Oh oh oh. But with lock down module. Can that lock everyone in the train? That would be waaaay FUey.

BBQ Hades is a good bot, but keep moving!
My vote is for ST, because nothing says FU like those FUing things......and yes, Lockdown Ammo mandatory.......
I just read somewhere PPB was like purple panties bot or something, thanks to the fine drone rework efforts by our devs.
......or purple princess bubble....panties, however, it the true Campbell Method......

Purple princess bubble… I’d say shocktrains, but I feel like a lot of people might be saying oh FU to me so 🤷♂️ I don't think anyone would do that. Your opinion is very valued around here. |

Flames are meta with shells and tank bots. I am running two bots in my main hangar with flames. A Deme and a Shell.
So if you want to be meta bwaaaaaaaaaa you whale you!

Nothing says FU like a PPB and flames. Yeah, that’s a pretty good one. And I’m finding Pulsar Typhon (PulPhon? Tylstar?? Meh, nothing works) excels in this regard. The irritation of HawkBoi at 502m in full blackout while I slowly dissemble his bot...rage inducing. Gets them off their game which helps with the win. I am seriously considering leveling these 9/10 Pulsars. But now we’re talking meta level gear, which is somewhat contrary to the FU ideals. |

I say go flaming hades with lock down ammo. Lockdown with flames is a misery inflicting machine. And I'm pretty certain you'll find yourself rooting three times the players with Lockdown Ammo flames over Lockdown Ammo trains.

Yea I don't get the FU'ness of flames. And you're concerned about them getting nerfed in the same breath you're considering running 'trains, lol. If they do get nerfed, it won't put them in the gutter because they've been buffed a few times the last few releases. My bet is that flames aren't what's keeping the latest fire rockets from meta uptake. Pixo needs to nerf sonics again, then buff fire rockets (like they always do). I think flames are safe.
I say finish the 'trains off to 1.12 or 2.4. Then work on the Hades. There's a lotta upgrading to do there.

There's a lotta upgrading to do there. Yup. Ordinarily I make all my own decisions seeing everything that's in front of me, I thought I'd get some input this time around. |

And the FU part can be a dorky little happy dance while you’re roasting that Red. |

Shock trains are like a kick in the groin.
Flames with lock down are like being grabbed by the throat and choked to death.

Flaming Hades can be a strong competitive bot with the right modules/skills, So shocktrain for thr the FU.

I kinda regret getting rid of my Shocktrains. If I still had them, I probably would still be playing. And if I were still playing and wanted to build a FU hangar, it would be with weapons like Chimera, Hydra, Pulsars, Stings, Wasps and Shocktrains.
Hmm...maybe I will do just that...focus on getting 4 Shocktrains cause I have everything else...nah...performance and lack of free aim are still holding me back.

I have two 2.12 ST's, three 2.12 Hydras and two 2.12 Tulumbas that I built as my FU weapons. I rotate them around a few bots. Ill slap both ST and Tulus on my Spectre for harassing fun. Blast a couple of reds hovering on a beacon with ST and then when they hide, hit with Tulus for the splash kill. That usually works well until they come after me. Currently running an Ares with 2 Hydras to piss off reds to come after me then light up the purple party. Cant count how many times I have baited a red to their death. At times I'll get Ravana with three Hydras, but alternate the three for max FUness. When center beacon is within 500m all 3 weapons are so much fun. Spectre jump straight up, ST zap, Tulu barrage and then hide. Hydra Ravana is fun as I can hide and harass. Then as needed escape. Each is good for a couple kills.
