Re: Throwing Orbit Balls

[quote=thefro526;803218]

When I used an over hand style (I think it was referred to as a tomahawk style of throwing in an above post) I could throw it faster and more accurately but they had a high tendency of bouncing out at close range. When throwing at middle and long range distances it was clearly the best way of throwing for me. The balls almost always flew straight and didn't have much of an arc so I could throw them right into the goal. This style is probably only going to be advantageous for taller HP's because they can reach higher than the Driver's Station wall.

My friend on the other hand, used a more traditional Basketball Jump Shot move. He's a little on the shorter side (Perhaps 5' 6" to 5' 7") and it worked very well for him.

Can the HP reach/jump over the plane of the top of the Alliance Station Wall? i.e. can a 6'4" player take a jump shot and potentially get a foot or two of clearance?

<G20> specifies that Moon Rocks can't be thrown around the end of the Alliance Station Wall, and it also says that the HP can launch them over the wall, but we were just wondering if there's a "ceiling" above which no HP can reach/jump. Trivial, maybe, but it could make a difference.
