Krakens - Gin* - 10-08-2009
' Wrote:Kelt, believe me, he's right.
Antanas (Vilkas), Karolis and I killed 2 LNS Battlecruisers at the same time (they were both shooting at us at the same time)
One of that LABC had 2 flaks on his class 10 hardpoints. Imagine how it should be hard, but we make it cause of the krakens.
hmmm kinda hard to imagine this ... is there a chance you got some pics of this event ? i really want to see such an inability of said BC

LABC isn't 2 Liberty Carriers guys. Be more precise. And the LABC should have been totally noob, blind and retarded to get killed by 3 Sabres, seriously.
Krakens - Andrew_Bonesovich - 10-08-2009
Upping power usage on Krakens isnt a solution, the Sabre powerplant is really weak, if someone mounts 7 of them with the current stats, he runs out of power very quickly. I have 5 on my Sabre, and its already a lot. If you make them 10 class, then Outcasts wont have any 9class.
Overally, yes, Krakens are good, but not overpowered. If Sabre mounts a lot of them, he cant maintain fire long enough, you need a lot of accuracy and use them carefully to be effective with 7. Low power makes up for it, Titan has huge powercore and extremely efficient weapons, so in the end you find out its nearly even.
And by the way, those LABCs would have to be utterly stupid to lose to 3 Sabres. Did they even have cap armour? :D Knowing how it goes around liberty, I think you encountered some poor noobs who just bought their lolcaps and tried to shoot stuff without knowing how to fly them. Not impressed really.

Then explain to me why Hellflurries haven't been buffed. They work fine for me.
Increasing the power usage would work fine.
Krakens - ... kur nubėgo? - 10-08-2009
This is the point. Ability to deliver huge amount of damage in short time is an advatage you can spent a lot more time on just shield camping, and that is working just perfectly.. Besides, as I mentioned before you can switch off some of the krakens when constantly firing on tail.
Krakens are moderate effcient.
ANd about outcasts without class 9... they have wyrms type 2, which seems to be forgaten.
One more thing, they are on open market for outcasts allies. They can be and are widely used. You think whats why? I doubt its about nice projectile effect.

I'd prefer the other guns to be that good rather than Krakens get worse.
I'm sure at the start of 4.85 one of the big things we were told had happened was 'guns buffed to kraken level'.
I've only got one ship with Krakens and I haven't actually fought anyone in it since I bought it, so I'm not some QQ kraken fan boy or anything.

Problem is, rebalancing one gun is a lot easier than rebalancing over 9000 of them.

If it's really so much of a problem, make it so you can only buy them on Corsica...at least they'll need guard rep, and probably won't find the base.
I don't see a problem with the allies of the Outcasts getting them (Outcasts do sell black market munitions of of their station in Eta), but I'd at least say don't mount it on every hard point...use some of your own faction guns on your ship too.
Krakens - teschy - 10-08-2009
Just a quick note, your argument is crap, Sindroms. The LN Vengeaces suck even more than Sammaels, and the magmas are hard to aim.
But we don't use Buckshots for that reason, kay ?
Krakens - kikatsu - 10-08-2009
heh...the LSF did have Buckshots on their allowed weapons list a while back...I don't know if they still do now...
