I don't feel afraid that I'm gonna log in one day in Elite Dangerous and find out that my engineered beam lasers with thermal vent will have completely different functions from what I've build them for

That is precisely why a lot of the Elite "PvP community" has little faith in that game ever breaking away from "haha 3456743675432567K shield FDLs". FDev should be doing a full rework of the engineering system but they lack the balls to do it. I believe it was once marketed as a 'sidegrade' system, which is a pretty good joke.

I am actually not opposed to SHFs having bomber gun access but I would rather first focus on bomber guns being well-balanced on bombers.

We'll also buff the weaker SHFs as required. People need to relax.

Haste, just make them interesting, please. Because they're absolutely boring now, imo. It's just obvious that they had to be rebalanced. But now... Ehm, anyone would prefer VHF or BMB, but by no means not SHF, I bet. Try to give them a flavor that could attract players, please.

Yeah but, in Discovery you are limited in what you can fly, where you can fly it, and who you can fight, by your ID.
No such limitations exist in Elite. You can use the same meta and balance yourself against your opponents that way, or you can do like I did and get a Krait mk2 with 3 large engineered beam lasers and 2 multi cannons with corrosive shell, dirty drives, power distributor with enhanced recharge and low mass modules and melt those FDL's as they struggle to keep up.

I can even outrun Guardian ships on boost.

What I'm saying is that in Elite you have the freedom to get creative, you can make stupid, original builds that might surprise you. You can truly make your ship yours

Meanwhile in Disco I have to write an SRP if I want anything out of the ordinary and then I am at the mercy of whoever's in charge of approving those next to the 500 million credit grind or whatever it is now. I have better things to do with my time hence why I never even bothered with an SRP but that's okay, plenty of stuff to work towards in Discovery as-well....aaaand then they stump my SNAC and make my Heimdalls yellow.

get real please, or maybe just stop posting word vomit on forums

Chuba and his amazing posts .. yeah i saw what you wrote last time, too bad a moderator remove it before i could reply.

What you call now weaker SHF? They are all weak now. They are still slow .. the Osprey just got a buff turning speed of 0.70 degrees (LOLOLOL) and big, the Osprey just 15% small, i talk about the Osprey because it is the one i have, and lost over 1/2 the powercore. In other words is still slow, is still big and now lost the only advantage that it had over VHF!! It is total useless. And probably what you are saying about the "weaker" shf are the new ones, mainly because Aerelm is mad for having so hard work doing it and now no ones cares and want his creations. And about relazing .. there are still people raging about the snac, even after adding some bonus. This is one of those thinks that you guys did not caring what the community think, and not listening the reasons why and why not.

Sounds like a credible source to me.

yes it is, from someone that fly it for a long time, talking about one of the ship that got most nerf! also you can also read what other ships users think about the other ships.

I liked SHFs cuz pilots better than me were cursing my name. I never saw good pilots flying SHFs. I guess it would change our opinion about SHFs totally.

Could there be a ship funny and affordable for bad pilots, but hard to fly by good pilots?

Conn is the answer. Ships don't compensate for lack of Conn training hours. Nerf if they do.
