The general bullshit in arguments over Ripley Mechs

Or... Take a different route? Or ... Wait it out. Coming back and forth twice is faster than carrying two crates. I've conducted this experiment before. Who in their mind would drag it across a horde.

Implying that anyone who plays on this server space station 13 is in their right mind.

Cargo techs man... They just don't understand. Also at the start of the round there's about 10 different crates (3 o2 containers) that I usually bring to cargo, O2 to store in a better place, and crates for points.

That's not a justifiable reason to use power loaders in combat whatsoever, sorry.

Actual justifiable reasons: As a last resort against the alien foe, or as a survivor.

Mindlessly charging at aliens is really easy to tell from a glance of the environment.

The problem with that argument is then what becomes a "last resort?" According to dedchat tears it should be against the rules to even look at the Ripley anywhere but the immediate cargo area, let alone the Sulaco as a desperate attempt to repel the boarders as a rag tag team of six dudes.

Personally, so long as it doesn't go planetside without express CO permission and reasoning and it gets a minor speed nerf I couldn't care less. Get good at being robust.

I never said it was. Where did I EVER say that it was in that sentence? How do you see that sentence as a justification for using them in combat? I'm answering UM's question.

He's using your context.

then we will decide that based on testimony from the person operating the ripley and anyone involved.

Remember, if nobody ahelps that it's an issue/unfair, we will automatically assume nobody minded and everyone can continue having fun.
