Flak - Malaclypse 666 - 08-28-2007
Normally I stay away from this type of poll and discussion.. It's a vicous spinnin' Chao. Fix or ban one thing, and soon enough there's suddenly some spinoff that's even more troubling or contentious.
Dunno if the vanila ships can be upgraded to withstand flak better.. can they?
However, I gotta say, I've been stripped nekkid a time or two by "blue-on-blue" flak fire. So....
Yes, just to protect my own butt when i'm stupid or unobservant enough to get in the way of my own mates.

Then what's next? Ditch cannonballs, because one takes out a Sabre in one hit?

The cannonballs take EVERY figther in a perfectly placed hit. the flaks yust "rape" a ship.

Or Novas, cause they can do that too... oh wait! there suppose to!
Think about it people without such a weapon you are reduced to minimal damaging weapons that expand the length of cap fights by hours can you imagine trying to take a Batle Star Adv. Without Flaks? talk about rough.

Besides, we've all been talking about a hull buster, no? Isn't Flak the answer?
Getting rid of a weapon that kills too fast is not the way. If that would continue, we'd soon get rid of infernos, razors, mortars, maybe even primaries.
(Bstar adv?! thought it didn't have a wireframe)

oh..somebody here said that flask kills all the weapons mounted on ships...yes that is true...but they kill it on ALL ships..not only vanilla ones...so every battleship in game is affected by that turret...
i am for nerfing the flak..not removing it...
and for the people who dont know...good defense against flaks is distance and simple CD
Flak - TankTarget - 08-28-2007
Nerfing the flak won't work, because the damage amplification remains. It will only slow it down by ten seconds of damage....

Its yust a hull buster against 1.0 ships and figthers, not the others.
Flak - Panzer - 08-28-2007
Hull buster of Tauri? Or Incursor?
Nerf. No removal.

Thats actually wrong, they do do damage against none vanilla ships, they striped the weapons of my battlestar pretty quick, maybe theres a way to balance it out?
