The Repel is a one-shot weapon that, when fired, will repel (kick away) any enemy ships / bombs / bullets and mines away from you. Teammates and any other things belonging to your team won't be affected by this. The repel can be obtained by collecting greens. The repel is a weapon that added more depth to SubSpace than any other weapon did. When you are low on energy and someone's shooting things at you, simply repel. The attacker and whatever he was shooting will be repelled away, giving you just enough time to recharge. A repel can also easily kill an unaware enemy. Simply lay a pile of mines, and move away from them a bit. If you succeed to lure someone between you and the mines, simply repel him into them. Although this tactic is looked down upon and considered lame, it is highly effective, and the less aware pilots will often fall for this trick. This trick will probably not work against veteran players. To add another element of surprise, simply drop a portal somewhere around your mines. When a player is between the portal and the mines, simply warp and repel. This might take some time to practice, but you can kill even the best veterans around with this trick. And again, this trick is effective but lame. Do it more than once and alot of people will start bitching at you, simply because mine repelling is seen as an "easy kill". It's like camping in quake : you'll get kills, but you will still be a crappy player. If you are in a base or any other confined space, be careful when you repel. If shrapnel is flying around and you repel it, you're simply sending all that junk into your teammates and into yourself. You'll turn the shrapnel into an uncontrollable wave of terror, coming back for you after it bounced off the walls. The best thing you can do is just sit still and wait for most of the shrapnel to disappear, just try to dodge a little if possible. On the other hand, if an enemy is surrounded by your shrapnel, you'll want to bounce him around as much as possible to let him eat as much shrapnel as possible. Repel him and watch him absorb all your projectiles and blow up. Again, watch out for enemy shrapnel around you. I once saw 5 teammates (including me) getting killed because one fool repelled in the middle of a base. He killed us all, including himself, and we lost the flag game. All he wanted to do is repel the enemy into our shrapnel, but he simply forgot that there was lots of enemy shrapnel around us too. The final trick you can do with a repel is VERY useful. People will often mine the entrance of their base, as well as some choke points deeper in the base. Your own bombs/mines can't kill you, but your teammate's bombs/mines CAN. Simply repel the mines into a wall when the enemies are near. They have placed mines, and they got the mines repelled into their faces, so their energy level will drop to a critical level. Some will die and the rest will at least get severely damaged. You can then swoop in and finish them off with ease ; you and your teammates have a huge energy advantage.
