Cruise Power Drain Update #3 Feedback

[Irra]

It happened more then few times that on mission BHG destroyers eat my Osiris. I cruise to waypoint and watch them shooting me while i get enough energy to fire. Now i will have to wait even longer that would make such mistakes deadly 100%.


2 sec fighters
4 sec bombers
5 sec gunboats
6 sec cruisers
7 sec battlecruisers
10 sec battleships


Fighters could use long cruise to move inside bomber range before they move to capital range so they could use their guns before bombers get to target (+fighters)

Bombers have snac

Gunboats should just guard other capitals from bombers ...

Cruisers drop out of 5k move in to 4k and shoot

Battleships don't cruise


This has no effect if they all drop out in same time so they will get clustered.

Other way fighters could intercept bombers/fighters, bombers do their job. Cruisers pound from distance.
Anyway 1on1, 4 sec is better then 3 sec difference between c and bs. CD Bs cruise away and shoot and call for backup while you do that to save some precious time.

I dont know what you people are thinking, going against the communities wishes (numerous polls, ect)
But then again, "ITS OUR MOD AND WE CANZ DO WUTZ WE WANTZ AND STUFFZ AND U CAN DOZ NUTHING" motto still seems to fly. Youll all be sad when we're back to 50 people at peak times...

The old way was far better for BOTH classes of ships and for many people. The only thing this really helps is well... Admins.

And if cruisers are so GREAT at artillery long range, whats the point of BS's with this cruise drain? BS's primary function is to rape at close ranges. With cruise drain. No longer possible.

Taking one purpose, ripping it off a class and putting it onto another.

I am to 97% thinking its perfect. Just please drain it a bit slower, if you're maybe being disrupted. I start cruise and it went like "DEW!" down to a few percent Energy XD

Please Cam remove the Avatar.

With battleships able to cruise up to you constantly in order to keep distance at a minimum, the smaller ships no longer stand a chance.

Actually, the entire point about the cruise engine changes is to make it so battleships can't cruise up to smaller ships and rape them. Now if the BS cruises up to a gunboat or destroyer, that gunboat or destroyer is out to dodging range before the battleship can recharge its energy to fire on them. With these changes, the Gunboats and Destroyers that have been cruise-jumped by BSs constantly no longer have to worry about it.

Also, weren't you just arguing about how the engine drain makes battleships useless?

So are they useless, or are they gankmobiles that can cruise up to anything and 'pwn' them with ease?

Make up your mind, you can't have it both ways.

You know, actually it was the wish of a lot of people to have Cruise Drain. Even without thinking of Caps Cruising up.

As well it was one of the Rules being broken in a high amount, be happy its gone.

Any change is good. I didn't mind BSs cruising into battles (unrealistic .83.84. and first .85 versions), I didn't mind first cruise drain, I don't mind this one either. Makes all sense to me and more changes are introduced which will force people to RP and to use capital ships the way the are meant to be used, better in my opinion.

P.S. I don't mind Cam's avatar and signatures either, since new Firefox has much better image filtering options.

the path to hell is paved with good intentions!

Shark.

Thats all fine and dandy.

Now that cruisers have their place in the grand scheme of things... "Thanks" to cruise drain, Where do battleships now end up?

We have less range than Cruisers, and no thruster.
Hmm...

I think a cruiser is starting to look better.

Great, thanks cannon, I'm glad I'll be completely ******* useless now. Was 5 seconds not bad enough? Honestly, the majority of people here were asking that the regen delay be removed entirely, even 5 seconds was too much, now I've got three times as much downtime before I can fire a gun.

This mod is getting worse by the day, I dont get why you people cant leave well enough alone.

I'm getting really tired of you being impolite to me. I will try to listen to anybody who is polite when voicing their opinions. Be polite.

Understand this, I AM NOT ALWAYS RIGHT. I KNOW THIS. STOP PRETENDING THAT YOU ARE.
