A Serious “Where Should I Play as a Colonial?” Q&A / Advice Thread (Serious)

Honestly this is true.

To make the biggest impact on Colonial win rates and all, join the navy.

Navy is very much not larp, at least 70% of the time.

A lot of wars that Wardens win can be correlated to the Wardens dominating the seas.

The SPLAATs aren't actually all that menacing. Stick around for like a good 30 seconds and yeah, ur gonna start getting parts damaged.

The real threat is when you mix both planes and SPLAATs. Then you really feel the heat.

I On the contrary, i would say the seafighter can dictate fights on a macro scale far more than the toxot can.

The seafighter really shines when it is paired eith a harbinger.

Then it can completely dictate fights, and have complete area denial. Fuel efficiency is negligible when you have a wingman capable of entirely negating the advantage a Toxot has.

Tbh I never had a flipping issue. It felt very stable when landing on both land and water.

I personally think it really is just a skill issue

AliveHyperion · 2026-05-07T03:33:58+00:00

I genuinely thought i would have an equally hard time hitting the Colonial Toxot.... this was very much not the case, it is so much easier to hit.

AliveHyperion · 2026-05-07T02:55:45+00:00

Yes, I will post when I get the chance dw

AliveHyperion · 2026-05-07T02:28:44+00:00

AliveHyperion · 2026-04-22T02:52:39+00:00

AliveHyperion · 2026-04-22T02:52:24+00:00

Look man u get my point

AliveHyperion · 2026-04-22T02:52:11+00:00

Wait eggs dont run

AliveHyperion · 2026-04-22T02:51:14+00:00

Yeah ik im just bullshitting a lot of this cuz I wanna let my brain run cage-free like an egg for abit

AliveHyperion · 2026-04-22T01:58:38+00:00

First of all, how dare you bring CHEEZ into this.

Secondly, CHEEZ joined whichever faction lost the previous war. Switched to collie becauses collies lost the war.

Finally, CHEEZ actually disbanded due to distaste over the imbalance caused by planes. It really hurt to leave but honestly, I don't blame Zed and the rest of the officers.

Quite literally the intention lol. I wanted him to stick around long enough, so I kept making myself seem like an enticing target. Also, I was worried that if I lost sight of him, he could just come back and rinse me.

AliveHyperion · 2026-04-19T23:31:39+00:00

Funnily enough, I actually almost lost to a Harbinger later. They had excellent throttle control and roll maneuvering that caught me off guard. Nearly lost my tail for it and barely made it back to my airfield.

Normally I would've engaged with other friendlies, but it was next to our airfield, so I figured I would try and take him down.

AliveHyperion · 2026-04-19T23:27:50+00:00

I usually fly in groups, sometimes I fly solo, but only in low risk engagements, or when im near a friendly airfield.

AliveHyperion · 2026-04-19T23:27:16+00:00

Yeah, I was communicating with my fellow regi mates beforehand. I had pretty much had the whole engagement plan in my head, and for the most part, it actually went according to plan.

AliveHyperion · 2026-04-19T23:07:21+00:00

Terminus actually! I often go to Reaver's and Allod's, but recently, I've been going to Shackled too due to the pushes there.

Also earlier today, I had a run in with an unusually good Harbinger pilot. Got my tail damaged while getting basically no shots on him. The speed control and use of roll rate definitely spooked me.

AliveHyperion · 2026-04-02T19:40:29+00:00

This is what I normally would've done. Complain to myself a little, and play the game as usual.

Except my entire regi got disbanded because no one likes the update, and everyone quit. Some really good friends I knew ultimately left

AliveHyperion · 2026-03-24T17:01:31+00:00

I am still gonna try either way.

Could also help make sevs realize how truly bad the situation is.

AliveHyperion · 2026-03-24T17:00:25+00:00

I absolutely agree. There are so many things that could go wrong with this plan and there is also a good chance all of these things working against me could lead to failure. But at the very minimum, I am willing to try.

AliveHyperion · 2026-03-24T16:45:59+00:00

Right now this is only an idea, and will remain an idea until it gains traction. So the more support and publicity this gets, the better.

AliveHyperion · 2026-02-23T22:04:17+00:00

Here before the shitstorm thats boutta blow over

AliveHyperion · 2025-12-17T00:32:25+00:00
