Interceptor is awesome, and I love how some players get mad at it and start voting to kick the ones who use it, no matter how much the server's player base has shrunk. Maybe all vehicles should have a slightly higher flight speed btw

There are counters for ghost pack by the way. I have played against a lot of players who set really good defense against ghosts with no problem and even ghost cap against really hard to get by ghost defense after an intense battle of both of trying to ghost each others flags and take down the flag d to be able to at the same time. Players like Shift would innovate and create new fun routes for flag grabs with ghost that I then saw other players learn. If you pay attention to what weapons have high kickback and realize that ghost pack increases your kickback compared to normal armor you will discover boosting while ghosted. (Disarm spell works really well for this, Intentionally flying close to an enemy nuke going off and ghosting to boost yourself is another example). Ghosting or not it's not possible to be invisible with the flag anymore so a lot of times if a ghost grabs a flag you can wait outside your base and be able to chase them back to theirs. Not to mention that their mobility is awful in necromancer armor and switching to ghost drains their health. You are literally chasing someone that can either barely move or is taking damage even if you miss.

In short there is so much tactility to annihilation that you seem to have totally missed. Everything in the mod pretty much DOES have a counter and that is why the mod outlived every. other. mod. Feel free to make your own mod if you want to as I said in the other thread. It seems silly to demand an decade plus old mod to totally change because you refuse to learn the game play.

Also try shooting someone invisible with plasma (you know that gun you spawn with every time) and see what happens. They cannot fly without leaving a big trail of smoke and they are in an armor with no shields that if you sneeze near them they will die.

If you play old Annihilation versions you will see the Interceptor and Fighter and even the Bomber were even faster and the Interceptor has already had a fire rate nerf as well. I personally played in those scrims back then and beat Orb and OZ and DF and I can tell you nobody was flying around in those tin cans without being sniped down by a particle beam easily.

People get these crazy ideas in their heads about certain things being unbalanced after they personally have a bad experience, but look you could easily die every time and boost around in warrior and hover over people up in the air shooting plasma down at them. That's just as much if not more powerful than running to a (working and powered) inventory and buying a Interceptor pack, running outside and deploying it and flying over. And teleports? You can throw detpacks, mines and grenades into them. You can use enemy teleports with chameleon pack and builders laptop pack. You can pitchfork a wall and go into an enemy teleport and take down their defense. Mostly people set them in the generator room and try to bum rush tanks into the enemy base and protect the teleport until it dies. Jails? Those are destroyable by the way. A skilled player could shut down your little jail turret farm easily. People are going to leave if you beat them sometimes (or come complain about the mod on the forums). That does not mean we should change it.

Seriously dude. Just make your own mod then if you're so great. You whine so much I think I miss Runtime.
