Paladin Balance Discussion

[mjolnir]

Gezza999 : The Paladin is fine except the f****g size.
Gezza999 : It's as big as a cow.
Gezza999 : With, 10 elephants taped to it.

Crow is even bigger than a cow:D

I also got BAF and Corsair players saying that Paladin is too fast (this was on start of 4.85).

Just out of interest, care to name those BAF players? All I'm getting from the BAF chat is that, like, one person likes it (not that I really care if it sucks or not, I generally dislike light ships, anyways...)

At the start, the Paladin was overrated, everyone said how it will be cool to have something faster than a Chimaera, and after some fights when enemies didnt know the new Paladin, it seemed like its great ship. Soon we realized the sad truth - its huge.

Corsairs which are flying mostly Titans and Praetorians might say that. Because most of them cant, or dont want to learn how to fly HFs and keep their Titans, they are slower, yes.

Blodo, Baconsoda, Mule those were the 3 names that said so on start of 4.85.

And don't forget, Crusader is a HF as well as Paladin and Crusader has exactly same size as Templar.:rolleyes:

Interesting...(I assume this was in response to my query)

10 elephants are quite big though, yeah? Personally, I was excited about getting the Paladin, and that skews your judgement, was nice to have something to fly that didn't turn like a lead-brick but frankly the appeal has worn off and I just think it's crap now.

Chuck out all the numbers you want, but the size is what matters in this case, and it's too freaking big, that, is the only problem with it. Scale it down to the size of the Black Dragon and give it the same stat set? That should be balanced... For the record; first time I used the Paladin, it was against 3 Werewolves, and we slaughtered, that tints ones opinion.

Also; flying a LF isn't much like flying a Paladin. Flying a LF, you get a tiny ship, and it's extremely agile. Flying a Paladin, you get a huge ship that's fairly agile.

Black Dragon uses 600m/s guns, Paladin doesn't.

It was not me who made the model.

I thought guns were balanced?

And what about something like the eagle? There are eagles with 600m/s guns and eagles with 750m/s guns.

Xing has already said that it's larger than expected it to be so I presume someone scaled it up. Is it his job to put in a re-scaled version? It sounds like you're saying that it's not under your control, which is a little hard to believe.

How about Blossom, they're 750m/s guns, or the Katana.


Though, I see no way in which the gun-speed would effect it, considering the Civi guns are free for all, and are 750m/s.
