I paid over 125 million for a light cloak just to receive missile after missile from noobs who cannot aim at all, despite the fact that this game is supposed to be part shooter.
So I lost 125 million for a very cheap missile fired by a noob who suck at aiming. One or two weeks ago I got ganked by four players with missiles, they fired a missle, they run, and so forth.
This is the real annoying thing, missiles with almost CD turnrate.
Instead of nerfing the fights even more, you should start considering nerfing what is not logic at all (missiles with CD turnrate), or at least move the cloak on a special designated spot, so that I can use both Cloak and countermeasure.
Not to mention that cloaks can be easily disrupted and even tracked down with CDs, even if the target is cloaked. So stop complaining and accept the game as it is.
I worked a lot on this server to gather cash just to see them ruined by missile noobs.

This way, you would have to specifically dedicate some part of your arsenal to disrupting jumps (and thereby sacrifice either a weapon slot or an equipment slot, which makes it balanced), instead of already taking advantage of CDs, which nearly all ships can carry in massive amounts.


I've been playing the Freeworlds: Tides of War Star Wars conversion for the last week now, and they have actual 'Interdictor Cruisers' that are more than just in name, they can emit an artificial gravity well that shuts down all trade lanes in their reach (when active) and also prevents jumping inside the grav well. Sounds like disco could use a real interdictor, that actually does something like 'interdict' other ships, possible jumpers. I have no problem with people negating a JD, but not with a worthless CD that anyone can have, seems like a money sink should only be able to be countered with another money sink. All we need is a ship with the same abilities, highly valuable, and balance can finally be achieved. And now that I think about it, Disco could stand to learn quite a bit from the FWTOW mod.
