blame me for audio desync

I will briefly point out that as with all things that happen in test builds, the video linked is already technically out of date as we have made a handful of (pretty major, at times) further changes since then.

It's still a good impression of what the class aims to be like in duels, however.

I hope that Omega-48 will have white and snowy starsphere like it was in Omega-49

Video snip.

Let me briefly apologize for some of the audio hiccups in this video, I forgot to turn off the in-game music so when Greed (i do not know his forum account name) spliced the footage together some of my audio ended up on Haste's pov and viceversa. I saw some people speculate that there may be some audio issues with the guns so I figured I'd mention it. The audio's fine, the video is just a wee bit scuffed.

Honestly? I wouldn't know there's something off about the audio if you wouldn't have mentioned it.

The release of that announcement is perfectly timed. Well done @Haste and all the Developers team
Thanks to all the players who helped in testing and are still helping.
I wish you the best of luck on the 1st of September,
and I hope that the new patch will be something fun for everyone.

[The text is not on interest actually

Watched the video i still see the best upgrade we have isn't about turrets (and seeing how Light Mortar doing less damage, is about finally we get some other turrets for the battlecrusier class, more armored and nice looking engine effect, so in a corsair battlecrusier i saw:
2xPrimary turrets
2xFlaks
2xLightMortar
1xBattlecrusier heavy turret
2xCrusier Impact Cannons
It looks nice, but when that battlecrusier need to fight against bombers, well, is gonna be a mess out, not being able to defend itself, no secondaries/solarises to make bombers/fighters think it twice, dunno why people can't see about it
But well, seems the efforts isn't being made by some crude reasons ... sadly ...

If it helps, the standard prim setup of a Battlecruiser during testing has had two flaks, two prims and one pulse. This same loadout could nearly 1v3 some very competent bomber players. That should tell you those two primary turrets are nothing to scoff at (and neither are the flaks).

You really only see the text you want to see? I, personally, wasn't part of the testers selection (but I know those who were) and battlecruisers do not underperform. From what I see and hear, both duels and fleet combat is about to make another 180 degrees flip and one thing can be told for sure from what we've seen with cruisers already: all the new guns are not lacking in raw damage.

[Emperor Tekagi]

We tested (and are testing) all sorts of constellations with Battlecruisers.
Trust me, the primaries are more than enough to deter bombers and the flaks are really-really much cooler and useful than current ones. The prims effectively feel scarier than 10 solaris gatlings on live to me.

It looks nice, but when that battlecrusier need to fight against bombers, well, is gonna be a mess out, not being able to defend itself, no secondaries/solarises to make bombers/fighters think it twice, dunno why people can't see about it

That's what we have fighters for, defending the caps against bombers is their job. IMO it promotes team work and makes things less "muh cap can do it all" gameplay, makes encounters and group battles more interesting.

[Saronsen]

one (1) high powered missile is going to render battlecruisers entirely useless by destroying their regen, shields, and movement speed at the same time

cruisers reverted to 4.85 battleship combat of ramming into each others faces and now 4.84 explodium of ships dying instantly (or BCrs being made useless in this case) by a single missile
no volume of fire so easily avoided by cruisers, no volume of fire to fend off bombers or fighters (much to hastes enjoyment no doubt, another patch session of making sure nothing can harm his precious snubs)

job well done as usual
id wait for the patch but im not going to hold my breath if the cruiser update is ANY sort of estimate as to how well this will go
