Hi hello greetings. With all due respect to the hard work and efforts of the developer team I want to add my 2 cents too, so I've made a list of defects of the current patch:
1. Shield mechanics. That new shield feature that makes a player's shield invulnerable for a few seconds. It's just unenjoyable and unfun.
2. Power shortage. No comments, it's just plain bad and retarded. I'm not supposed to shoot Vengeances or Reavers like a freaking shotgun in order not to waste all my powercore lmao.
3. Mines. I've been seething and coping all these years about Wardogs not being able to get CD'd which is not normal in terms of Vanilla Freelancer mechanics and earlier Discovery patches, but I got used to it so np. Yet a couple of patches ago you added the Swatters which were completely uncounterable for me if a player knew how to use them properly. And now you "nerfed" them by making them even stronger so that even an average Joe can bully me with these mines and win fights just by spamming them lol.
4. The last hotfix included a CD nerf. The CD turn rate nerf completely ruined my playstyle(mine+CD trap) which I've relied on all these years.
5. "Armor Penetration", "Efficiency" etc. Why do we need all of these smartass numbers and stuff? Disco used to be a simple and fun game where I could log and shoot stuff without overthinking too much.
6. Missiles. Allow to run fewer missiles(around 30 or 50 units, for instance) and make them deadlier like in Vanilla or old versions of Disco so we have less TTK and less boring long-ass combat.
tldr: Game's bad and I believe it's time for the current lead dev @Haste to retire, because of his actions Disco is getting worse and worse with every patch. 8l
