Gunboat Vandals - Egon Bigmemes - 05-03-2020
- Changed: Vandal Gunboat Missile changed from 50,000 hull damage to 50,000 shield damage.
So where's the adjustment to the projectiles speed, agility, power requirement, ammo count, etc?
For what purpose would I use a shield buster that uses 200,000 energy and is limited by ammo, when I can use the Gunboat Pulse that uses 60,000 energy and has no ammo?
They both have the same efficiency, but one is limited by ammo, can be fucking dodged by the class it's intended to be shot at (gunboats) and drains from half to a third of your core.
I don't give a wild shit that you removed the instakill capabilities of the vandal, despite it being the only realistic way for gunboats to deal with the malignant tumor that are superheavy fighters, but i do care that you are this fucking lazy about it.
For those who were involved in this decision, do you actually play the game?

Farewell, really pretty good GB weapon (from which any pilot who had enough skill and attentiveness could in fact evade)! Hello, another piece of sh*t that no one will use! Just another placeholder in addition to GB razors\glaives and primaries.

And here we go. What kind of balance is this?

Hated these things cheesing my snub fights. Good change!

reminder that vandals are incredibly easy to dodge, even when jousting with a heavy bomber
inattentiveness will get you killed on any ship, no matter what weapon it is, and as far as i can tell, the logic of the vandals being nerfed was because people were too busy being distracted and not being aware of their surroundings and getting instakilled for tunnel visioning
