What it really needs low-power, low-damage missiles, so it can take advantage of that design purpose.
Alright I see that, but having to be in forward position when gunning, you have to turn the boat around before getting away, and while doing that it's very vulnerable, not to mention that you wont be shooting much again.
I see that it is a good fleet ship, with the thin profile and other ships to provide cover and so on, but as a solo-roamer I think its a bit on the weak side, considering what gets thrown at it. Perhaps that was the intention though.
Low damage missiles would also be nice, as they could be mounted on the side turrets and be fired simultaneously so the extra slot isnt wasted like it is with 2 LM's.
The point of mega nerfed OC caps is the same with mega nerfed LR/Molly Caps and mega Nerfed Osiris.
Now you can ask why only OC and LR/Mollys have the strange "Heavy Destroyer" class ships- because it is labelled as "Heavy Nerfed" class- when I asked why the arks are so nerfed I got the explanation that destroyers are balanced to be "smaller and faster with bad arcs" while the cruisers are bigger slower with good arcs. So you get the bigger and slower cruiser part mixed with bad arc part and you got the "heavy nerfed destroyer" class.
I wanted rebalance for Scylla- I got 50 bots more and 2 med turrets swapped with 2 heavy turrets without improving anything at least the core got updated because of this push of mine and others- so you got useless amount of hull bots and guns with nerfed arcs they are there in order to get some "justification" for the nerfed ships. Since the OC factions are passive they were not even capable to push to get cruiser core making the Storta the worst ship in its class.
This before some laughable Dev guy comes and says that it is ok Thresher and Hel to have Cruiser good arcs and Destroyer turning and shape and that Scylla and Storta are "well balanced". He also might want to add that Scylla and Storta got 1 base tech slot but Hel got 3 because for the greater good of skypefriendship....
If you want good unlawful cap ships go to the 3rd Unlawful factions Dragons and RH- that is the point of the whole thing.:lol:
