Nerfing the last protection of us... newbies from professional snub fighters. The last bastion will fall. That's low. Hopefully they will compensate it at least with strongly increased anti snub efficiency of guns for caps. Having them stronger, faster, preciser and more long ranged.. Doing smth like returning more gun slots in general will be great too. RE: PVP balance - problem(s) and solution(s)? - Czechmate - 05-21-2024 Yeah they are supposed to hit snubs a lot easier - but you know how it is - the aces will not exactly be taken down by newbies, and you aren't immune from their fighters anymore Entire balance is moving away from rock paper scissors and luck/instakill to drawn out chip damage and everything viable PVP balance - problem(s) and solution(s)? - Capt.RedLegs - 05-21-2024 The facts given here by those with more PvP experience than myself makes me want to create a ship with only Anti-Shield Weaps to more quickly wear out the Regen and Batts supplies? A couple of snubs up to GB's using this method could make a difference in larger battles?

SNACs were quite frankly simply a tool for aces to win 1v10s, something which I honestly remain convinced would be worsened in the current meta when the aces now are significantly better than the aces 10 years ago, and double nova was simply a method to get neuron activation and remove anywhere between 1 and 5 people from a group fight simply because they didn't have eyes in the backs of their heads. I don't see how that promotes healthy gameplay.

But to get back on to the point, instakills are bad for the game, nobody feels good after getting instakilled while still having full regens.

Maybe see you all out there.

The only little problem here that... Nova torpedo at superfighter was basically suicidal way for Chip damage. I think its removal is not justified within this convention of logic. And that Chip damage by guns only makes snub aces completely invincible if they can't be just shot down. But with removal of looting nanobots and addition of missiles, this remedies this issue in major steps. People can take down... a single ace eventually now in reliable way So.... in general it is kind of going to right direction with Chip Damage i guess? Just some bumps on the road towards it. Or at least it feels like it is going into right direction if to extrapolate how other space simulators function in their battles. If everything is Chip Damage with reliable way to harm oponents in snub fighters, and they have no means to stay invincible and grind through dozens of players. Then it is kind of what i imagine being a good way and similar to how Caps fight go. If just two newbie snub fighters can take on ace now and take ace down with very strong enough chance (instead of reliably just dying as it was before), then some kind of balance is achieved i would say. |
