SNAC and Nova - Blaze - 08-14-2009
I think the SNACs and the Nova Torps do too much damage what is the point of a BS when 2 bombers can take it out in a while and there has been too much Bomber wh****ng going on we have to raduce the damage done by them.
SNAC 80000 Hull damage and 40000 Shield damage
Nova 100000 Hull damage and 50000 Shield damage
What is the point of having a battle razor in your ship if it does less damage that a Nova
What do you say?
I am not a cap wh**e
I have Bombers too.

This has been discussed many times before.
The SNAC is fine the way it is. Bombers are meant to take down capital ships. If you don't want them to take down your capship, then I suggest you get a gunboat, since you need 4 or 5 bombers to take GB's down.
The Nova should be more powerful in my opinion, since people die using it anyways...

Well BS's are meant to die to 2 bombers because BS's are meant for fleets, where any selfrespecting fleet will have vhf's to kill those very bombers that remain the biggest threat to the BS's. Bombers are weak, they die to vhf's very quickly, that's why the damage is so high compared to the battle razor. The battle razor is meant for constant damage against other capital ships, where the battle is a lot longer than vhf vs. bomber.
tl;dr
Stop being a lone battleship, battleships are meant for fleets, and don't complain when you can't go mano a mano against a ship based on directly countering you.

I voted "no" While it's true Bomber's are numerous, the solution is fighters. Have escorts, bombers are essential in keeping Cap spam down.

Hire Escorts FTW.
<3 mah SNAC leave it alone.
Would love an EMP Torpedo though....

SNACs are Anti-Cap... Battle Razors are Anti-Gunboat. Capital Ships tend to have more Hull/Shield than Gunboats, so why does a Battle Razor need to be stronger than a weapon designed for a different purpose?
The Battle Razor is also much faster... 1600m/s vs 280m/s
If you reduce the damage done by a SNAC, then the only way to kill a Capital Ship becomes with another Capital Ship, or with a rediculously large squadron of fighters/bombers (Which immediately gets screamed at for ganking). People prefer to fly ships they know can bring down an opponent without back-up, because you cannot rely on always having back up.
You know what that leads to? More Battleships. Quickly increasing until every person and their dog has a Battleship, because it's the only ship you can use to kill everyone else. Then the server becomes capfest '09.
The SNAC has been consistant for several versions now. It has been nerfed in the past, projectile speed, turning arcs, energy, refire, stuff like that. But the damage has not been changed, depsite the number of threads requesting it to be nerfed.
And so, as always, I say to you:
Thou shalt not question thy holy SNAC; It is the balance of thy Universe.

SNAC have received a heavy nerf from the 4.84 to 4.85 version with the firing arc reduced to a point where you have to literally place your Bomber-vessel right in-front of the target. This dosen't really matter that much to capital-vessels but changes alot of aspects in Supernova-combat versus Fighter vessels. I believed this was a necessary nerf for Bombers, because it now requires to be more skilled to use a bomber in a more "universal" level.
But the SNAC damage itself shouldn't be changed, it is required to deal with capital vessels and keep certain ship-class balances.

You must be a preeeetty bad Battleship pilot if you can't handle two Bombers. If you can afford even a cheap armor 2.5 uppgrade, it takes a very long time for two Bombers to kill you. I have flown a Battleship only once, and even I who am totally worthless with capital ship vessels can handle two Bombers on my own in a Battleship. Heh.

Learn to fly a fighter instead of whining that you are eaten by bombers in your powertraded BS.
SN's are the balance of the Sirius. atm they are good as they are.
SNAC and Nova - Colonel.Tigh - 08-14-2009
I think the damage difference between Nova Torpedo and Supernovacannon is to small, take 15% damage from the SNAC and give it to the Nova Torpedo, the torps are more difficult to use, good versus Battleships (or when jousting a gunboat harhar), but you can also blow your teammates up with it (and yourself).
Push the Nova, nerf the Snac!
SNAC and Nova - stahu456 - 08-14-2009
Just one big NO !
yeah leave SNAC Alone !
A fine weapon isn't ?
