[Elvin]

I am sorry if I cause panic...I dont know, maybe its already posted somewhere and I just cant see it, and if yes, I am sorry for opening it here - But is it already known if there will be total wipe when the new version come out?

I think its... good to know...

Thanks for response,
Elvin

Possibility, but most likely not.

And what of all of us who actually RP in them, dude? Believe it or not, beyond Corsairs and Bounty Hunters, most of us aren't whores.

Considering how retarded the balance is with capital ships and bombers in Disco, the phrase capwhore seems just silly.
Give capital ships some anti-fighter weaponry and things will work out.
Means you need to bring in other capitals to take care of that one, yet they will need to sacrifice their anti-fighter weaponry to have weapons to take out the other cap, leaving them open to bombers, who are open to VHFs anyway.

Currently you have bombers ruling everything save dogfights, which are simple if you have an escort. So yeh, bomberwhore?

Bomberwhore = Dustin. And he's proud of it. I would be too, if I had more kills under my belt.

This is actually a decent suggestion, specializing capital ships by weapon options or otherwise into VERY clearly anti-fighter or anti-capital ship. As it stands now, Dustin, CHL and I in bombers could probably kill every last cruiser+ in Discovery without so much as breaking a sweat...

Actually that would be fun. Hmm, what kind of server event could justify that... :crazy:

Just seems odd that there would even be these cruisers etc, if bombers could take them down so easily.

If you wipe then people will go for cap ships as fast as they can so they can "PWN" in fights and no one can do anything about it.

I'm against it, I have too much time, too many kills and had too much fun with my characters, biggest ship I have is a cruiser out of 9 characters... we're not all cap whores. Only a handful of indies who have no lives and play all day long so they can feel special.

Once again, PWN'ing in fights doesn't happen if you are in a capital ship and there is a bomber or two present, which cost far less to get. So really, even slow paced people would be able to kill those capital ships as soon as they appear.
