Discovery 4.87 Balance "Leak of the Day" Thread

[SeaFalcon]

Achievement unlocked: Be the mining faction with the fattest VHF in a main pvp area for 2 versions. (like a baws)

Fixed that for you.

Nice fix there

Don't you think that Reavers are bit too efficient?

Yes, yes we are.

Saw that one coming a mile away.

Ey Syrus, do that with the Lynx and Sabre as well.

Add Templar and Titan too, and maybe Warewolf for lolz

Templar is one of the smaller VHFs mind you

One of reasons I want it to be compared with stuff in Bretland/Taus
And I claim it isnt so small
There is also difference between small box shaped and small flat thing

[Govedo13]

Facepalm, like the size matters... eagle is one of the fattest, its size is comparable with some light bombers but it is still really fast, same story for Wright- eagle size but people mistake it with HF...
Same story for the Colonial Nyx- it would be fun to compare greyhound and nyx and you would understand why. So IMG vhf could be big but it is not Werewolf so if you give it decent hangling it could preform on the level of Manta/Wraight/Nyx etc. Even so the medal for the worst HF/VHF goes to Mollys especially if you combine it with the faction guns. Moly stuff was the worst in the server in 4.85, and got slight buff in 4.86 but still being at the rock bottom if you really want to know about faction having the worse stuff in 2 versions time.

Also there was one topic where it is explained well about the size and the really more important handling mechanics- I guess it need stick since most of the people got so wrong understanding on the fighter balance.
This topics explain it:

Could be merged in FAQ or something that could be pinned somewhere- it would solve a lot of confusion and questions.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

Oh all the delicious Niobium-flavored tears...

I see, everyone likes comparing sizes!
While I must say, Govedo is right, agility is much more important (way too important, if you ask me), the agility on these ships is a whole other story. I'd just like to show the size differences of the VHFs, without taking into account the insane agility differences between some of them and the consequences of that.
As Govedo also said "give [the IMG VHF] decent hanDling" - yeah. I made that point somewhere else already. Like ... ten times already.

Looking forward to the preview of the new civ guns.
More fuel for my ranting and complaining! Bwahahaha!
Oh well.

Fight a good Templar pilot sometime. No agility, yet a very nice shape and overall size, not to mention all the other pluses the ship has stat-wise.

Hmm... wouldn't changing Rheinland's 3.03 to 2.00 fill the gap better for smaller ships who cant mount codenames?
