[quote="Psychomud"]So, I've been playing a while again this time and I notice something. As a faction, we are near powerless. In fact the only other faction more in trouble than us is the preds.

Clearly the "flavor of the month(year)" is the cons.

So, what can we do?

I've pondered this for a while and I THINK I have a solution that will benefit our faction while crippling the cons.

DON'T JOIN [b]MAX VS CON [/b]MISSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ignore them. This will be one less slaughterfest they can use against us to horde XP.

Clearly the gravey train to XP gain is thru missions. If we can temporarily get the bots and preds to also perform the same way - thi will cripple the cons to where they can only gain XP in the arena.

I'm not saying don't to ANY missions - just NEVER do the "versus 'Cons" missions! If we stick to this plan solid - AND if we can reach out to the other 3 factions to do the same - we can put a QUICK stop to their XP gains!

I myself never join a "vs con" mission unless there is less than 1 or 2 minutes left. At which point I monitor the mission - and if our side looks like we are going to dogpile in at the last second - then I will join up to help with the smackdown.

This is just 1 option to cripple the cons - be patient and monitor the situation - join in with less than a minute to go - but only if the cons numbers are relatively small. I have watched them pull the same stunt on us. Why will wait and jump in when its 5 minutes or less!

Stop joining those missions! Please!

Another option, I have one or two "throw away"  bots - super wimpy. I never expect them to make any gains. So whenever a NEW mission comes up and it's vs the cons, I put in my "crapbot" maximal. This will get the cons coming outta the shadows early and join up in that mission instead of waiting till the last second to pounce.

More than once I suckered 6 tough cons against one of my throw-away maximals. They end up making less exp than if they went in the area and some of em have to hit the CR chamber for a bit!

So please, pay attention to those missions. If a LOT of time is left, check who is in the mission - if you see a level 0 maximal - it may be someone trying to lure out these annoying cons.

If there is very little time left on a mission vs the cons, jump in at the last second - OR at best - ignore the mission! Don't give em a chance to make more gains over us.

Anyone else have any strategic suggestions?[/quote]
