    Yo bay boys,

    Can we report speeders with only mines as main weapons ?
    Please make it so you cant equip only mines as main wep slots.
    And I see more and more speeders with fire bomb lol ?!?!
    Dudes learn how to play your role, suicide speeders or floating speeders are my favorites, but now the new speeders kinds are emerging.
    Stay strong !

    Everyone has different play styles bro.
    Speeders with double mines can be quite affective if done right, same with fire bomb.
    If played well, any setup works.
    (And some people just aren't good players)
    And remember, it's just a game.
    Have some fun:)

    I don’t dispute that speeders with mines can be very effective. However, I fully support a ban, on the grounds that mines are still annoying :rolleyes:

    Just because you cant stand an item combo doesn't mean we should ban it!

    Diet coke with his double mine speeder has taken down so many ships. Mines can win you a game If played right.

    I have same feelings for shooters with 3 mortars or 3 torpedoes or all mortars and all torpedoes. Can we ban them too? @KiKi-Cro

    Thing is, all of these unconventional builds work really well if you have a complimentary fleet partner.

    I had a match where we had a five-Firebomb Shooter on our team. In a 1v1, he'd be helpless.

    What mitigated that was the fact that his fleet partner, who stuck to his side all match, was a similarly single-purposed triple-Carronade Enforcer.

    There was a constant rain of hellfire coming down from the skies, and it was hard to pick out targets among all of the burn timers ticking down.

    Anyone who tried to get close got turned into Swiss cheese by the Enforcer.

    hmm i think the thing is that mines are okay when u use one but downright annoying when the enemy speeder has 2 mines

    If double mine was bad they'd drop in infamy and you wouldn't get matched with them anymore. Unless they're normally not double mine and just doing a mine guild quest, but then you can hardly blame them for that.

    Every build has its time to shine.

    I loaded into one match to see I was teamed with a particular double mine build Defender. Ugh. The opposing team had 3 invincible pre-nerf pulse MK5 fixers. Moments after the battle started all 5 of the opposing team charged right on top us thinking they couldn't be killed and all 5 were insta-gibbed by the mines in under a couple of seconds! I haven't laughed that hard at a video game since and that double mine defender is responsible for one of my top all time BB fights.

    Double mine is Ridiculous, yes!!! Just like all duct Tape fixer, All mortar shooter and speeder, all torpedo shooter, defender with more than 1 mortar, etc.Using a minesweeper is not entirely worthless (sometimes speeder do end up doing 0). Mine is great area control tool, and if speeder in your team doesn't get killed, it will probably shift game to your side. All i can say is if you have learned to cope up with pointless combinations i stated above, double mine which is better than them;can be coped up.

    TO all general comments, Its not diet coke, that guy has Ridiculously strong mines.If HE had legendary minesweeper is in team, i don't think he would be here complaining. I have seen speeder with uncommon mines and barely good rare mines, this type of speeder is something i would hate on my team too

    For all the matches where he does zero damage I think people may often look at his log and report for float or suicide if they are in doubt.
