Quote:As I have always said about balance: While I agree that things shouldn't be op, if your enemy merely has an advantage over you, then there are several ways to counter that advantage in methods such as skill, organization or strength in numbers. Balancing everything completely just means that the elitist pvpwhores with their perfect reaction times and 0.001ping and mad skills would always win, and that is no fun for the average skilled or the unskilled, who might want to have a chance too.
+1, that is exactly it. If the ship is stronger than you in 1vs1, then why are you fighting like that? I am not saying that players should gank, but... tactics is tactics. If it works, it aint stupid... everything can be countered. Everything. If not with your ship, then with the help of another ship. Or another faction.
