I own one, I use it frequently however I damn well please.

It's literally named an OPPRESSER, WTF do you expect it to do? Using it to do anything but oppress is literally going against its namesake. It's designed to get you to spend more money/time on the game. Either because it blew up your cargo, you want one yourself, or you want something better, like a jet. You don't like it? No you don't get it. there not gonna fix it, it's not broken, it's a perfectly balanced money making system.

So heres the point, it's not going anywhere, quit bitchin (yes you are) and learn. There are plenty of counters but you need some skill or money, at minimum you need a better plan than running in circles spamming homing rockets (like that's gonna work)

The only way your taking it down on foot is dumb luck or a bad pilot (usually with c4 or the alien pistol) so give it a shot but it's not gonna be consistent. You need to ESCAPE when on foot, consta death ain't fun. So, passive, job teleport (very easy) rc bandito, off radar or ghost org. Fuckin duh,stop acting like your supposed to be able to fight it on foot and learn how to run.

Oh did they upset you? You want revenge? You're gonna need money first to buy your own weapon, insurgent can take something like 8 rpgs 14 homing, nightshark even more, the moc takes an impressive 72 homing rockets to blow up and it still doesn't kill you. Go in a tunnel, throw proxys. Boom. Or get a jet, Mk2 can barely fly up, drop in on em. buy the ruiner 2000 and start fully loaded (that'll slow em down) hell they'll probably run if they've got brains.

But wait I can't make money because they blow up my stuff. Wait how did someone blow up your stuff if your in a solo public? oh your not, then shut up. You can literally do it anytime, takes less than 10sec. Your own fault. What you want the bonus? It's 1 fuckin percent per player max 10%, is that seriously worth risking 100%..

My opinion is that it's an end game weapon. It's supposed to be op. How people use it is on them. If you don't have an end game weapon running may be your only option until you can afford one.

On a side note, did you try talking to them? Yeah? What did you just whine and moan "can you not"... Oh that's persuasive. Try this, "you win". You don't even have to mean it, just say it and see what happens.
