First time when I posted here it was kudos post about the good changes that you made, then I tested and facepalmed- the corsair guns are mega nerfed compared with all other guns of such type: http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/c...0/SalasNerf.png
They asked for bringing back the energy efficiency of 4.85 Salamancas that got nerfed for no practical reason mostly because of the corsair LF and HFs that ran out of energy really fast, they got a bit more DPS but 15% less effective gun then last update- so they got their energy efficiency even more nerfed. Every idiot knows that DPS is not important at all if you have efficiency to shoot more shot and good projective speed- corsair guns lacks from both.
Magic- more shot of low dps guns with good efficiency do more DPS in general then less shots of high DPS guns with less efficiency- if you does not believe me do the test- take one transport and one Werewolf/Titan- equip both ships with standard faction guns and kill the transport without shield and without missing any shot- count your time, then do the same after adding flashpoints or escaliburs- the faction guns would be worse in both cases. Giving pirate factions such guns prove them useless vs transports- very cleaver idea indeed.
Go ask the Sair players and they would ask for 4.86 U4 Salamancas instead of that, because it is nerf on the already nerfed guns- for more info check the link that I provided and compare with Krakens.. Now corsairs have no reason to fly LFs and HFs...mostly because they cannot shoot anything with them.
Well corsairs are ignored and nerfed as always nothing new I said.
Then I checked the Scylla- well it got 2 normal slots swapped with 2 heavy slots, the terrible arcs still stray and they are even worse because the swapped normal slots had better arcs then the heavy slots that they got changed with. The ship still have the insane 4 heavy slots and they are so crappy that the user needs 2 slots to have 360° motar- one of them the back slot. Having 3 front only and 1 back only heavies is more then useless. 2 360° are a way more useful. Scylla continue to be the only one heavy cruiser in game without any 360° heavy slots ,the only one that have one heavy slot backwards.
The only gain that Scylla got from the update is 60 more bots/bats. All if the proposed changes from Scylla users were ignored- like removing one heavy slot in exchange of normal arcs for the rest 3 heavy slots( 1 360° 2 front and side only- not that much really for heavy cruiser). We never asked for more bots and bats or swapping the position of the 2 heavy slots with 2 normal ones. Indeed the Scylla have medium cruiser turning rate and heavy cruiser core- but it have a way worse arcs then any of the smallght cruisers and less hitpoints and bots/bats then heavy cruisers(Vidar- 4 heavy slots front 4 back, OP Missile turret). Our vision about the ship was to keep the less hitpoints and the turn rate and get less useless slots that could actually improve the ship, now the Scylla is a bit worse then the last version because it got 2 more arcs nerfed and got some bots in exchange. So if you ask the Mollys- well do bring the 4.86 U4 Scylla- I prefer to have 2 more primaries forward then 60 bots and bats more..
Well Mollys are ignored and nerfed as always- nothing new...
The funny part is that not dev loved factions receive the same crappy stuff- like Molly and Corsair guns.
This update is total fail regarding this 2 issues.
So please do tell me- do the Dev team expect that brutal nerfing certain factions full of people that you does not really like improves the gameplay, fun and fairness for all around the place or make the bad blood in the community even more?
