That thing... That blasted thing... Needs a huge nerf...
Whats wrong with it? Well lets see...
It has 1 Light Mortar, a weapon BS shouldn't have at all... That one Light Mortar is better then those players can have. Why? It fires 2 times per second, and Isis has unlimited power supply. Then we have a Battle Razor, that fires 2 times per second aswell, and it has really uber precision... Then we have Order Battleship cannons that also somehow fire at greater rate, firing at 8.33 rate instead of 2.0 as they are supposed to... Isis currently does about 1000-1200k damage per second, with ultimate precision with every turret and unlimited power, while the most damage a player BS can do is about 125k, with power draining out in about 30-45 seconds.
I do know that by RP Isis should be uber, but this is just crazy... No other stationary battleship has this kind of power, so i don't know why Isis should. Also no other faction has something like this to use for cover.
And yes, this is a rant, and no, i do not care if you think it should stay like this.
The firepower of every NPC base depends on a number of players around it. There was a lot of poeple. That's why it was double firing.
thats somewhat news to me - are you sure? - that means that westpoint in 4.84 would have had some amazing firepower at times, cause sometimes you had a good deal of players around it.
I call it "refire bug" sometimes, mostly in periods with high server load, some of the bases get crazy refire without any reason. So a gun that would normally fire at it's designed refire suddenly fires 8 or more times faster.
Never heard of any player dependence of that. I have witnessed it even when I was the only player in system.
Anyway I'm 99% sure that's what happened to you.
Also Isis does have 1 Light Mortar (which is a downgrade from the Heavy Mortar it used to have) and with it I think it has about same firepower as say stationary RH BS. Unless off course you get the refire bug, but then the RH BS is nasty as well.
All BS missiles were removed from stations and NPCs for the problems associated with this refire bug. Now the bug still happen (only to stations) but then station is stationary and it doesn't have any tracking weapons. So over 3k away you should be safe in any ship.

Yeah well, WP isn't equipped with Razors and Mortars. It's guns barely bruise a high level fighter shield.

Today I was trade-lane hacking. Normally, trade lane ring turrets are just for a show, but then 2 lawfuls + 1 trader appeared right next to and suddenly they went crazy, and started really hurting my shields. What does this all have to do with 4.84 btw?
Yeah, I have uber "HATE ORDER" and Order chars, I have some "against" order and "side by side the Order" chars. Tic also knows some of those against Order chars.
Not every BHG does that but some do, attacking over and over against small wings. Not ever Order does but some do, attacking over and over against smaller wings. Its a fact.
I remember fighting against 4-5 to 1 in a fighter and retreating to Isis, not even cruising, giving the BHG the chance to take me out to have it as a fair fight (underlining, 5 to 1 in Minor).
And Isis is a safeplace against the NPC rape. Not over spawning, its a rape. So, BHG is taking over Minor? Cool, no objections. But if there is only one BS to hold our lives at pounding, please hold it until we have the "BHG won the war" concept.
Keeper people, Order people, BHG people know me, I support the fact of Minor being overrun. It is the logical RP outcome. But without that RP outcome happening, let the Isis be alone.
I know BHG is working on some Nomad tech RP, I know LSF is working on some Nomad research stuff etc but what Order does is always retreating. Sure, let the Order be weaker but then, tell the Order how much it will cost and Order will pay as a vanilla name both indy / factionized wise for O 100 updates and put 10 BS there to have a room to play.
Half of the time in a fighter I am so much "teased" by NPC or faction players that I found myself started to play more with my BS. Yeah, its a fact, when its a BS, half of the teasers running like little kitties. If you give the same atmosphere to the Order home world BEFORE a proper RP background or update, sorry but you will all create yourselves the next best Order Uber capital ship spam since no one would be willing to play again with their fighters or bombers anymore.
Sure send your 5 bombers against 20 carriers. You are more than welcome.
PS: REMINDER, Yuri will hate me for saying this perhaps but I am saying this as an Order / Keeper / indie hunter char owner player.
Panzer had a great idea, let the bases be disabled for 1 hour or so after a sufficient attack if its possible instead of being inactive for 10 seconds/not being inactive (like platforms)
