why cap ships shouldnt have shields and neither should nomads - kikatsu - 07-07-2009
cruisers CAN kill stations in RP....but not in actual gameplay mechanics..imagine how the Rheinlanders would feel with the LABC fleet blasting Hamburg's stations into dust
same way how when a cruiser explodes we magically have all the crew saved, when in realisty some would die with the ship, especially the engineer teams exposed to the damaged areas

Have you ever tried flying a capship while your shields are down and people are firing at you? The screen shakes so much you cannot aim at anything.
Dont post if you dont know what you're talking about.

4: nomads(keepers) are players too, or you think that it good opinion to take their shiles back? when yes, tehn have you looked on original nomad guns stats? give them that guns back too...
bump up their armour? and that way you can always tell when you have nomad hunters around cause they have all hull buster guns....

and? Thats called fighting smart. That's like saying there can be no anti shield weapons because they take down shields too fast.

It ain't worth the hassle whatsoever, balancing shield-less ships against those who can be equipped is too complicated if you understand the subject and technical details, something that you obviously do not. Taking into account such factors as shield regeneration, equipment vulnerability to splash damage and direct damage, et cetera. Finally there wasn't a solution found to fix screen shaking. So I suggest you take your time to do something more productive than wasting it here on the subject that isn't going to be changed, that you don't understand even. Judging by the posts you made there was no intention of changing anything nor making a reasonable point, just hiding behind your personal grudges and insecurities. I believe you were given enough explanations why it cannot be done and why there is no point or benefit to the mod in doing so. As far as I am concerned there is nothing more to talk about this subject.

And that's enough. Thank you to everybody for their time and opinions, this thread is now adjourned.
