Quote:That was before the core changes, and frankly I liked that system more (where you had to ask for permission from any faction if you wanted to use their tech, with no core nerf), but we roll with what we have. If you're using a 75% ship there should be a disadvantage, there was barely any before the basics nerf.
That's what I meant. I prefer the old system, when you had to ask for permission for using their tech with no core nerf, and that was better.
Quote:Yes.
Somehow not a logical explanation. Because why should I have so many disadvantages if I choose to to fly a Pirate ID'd character? Give us normal civilian Gunboats instead of those total useless ships.
Somebody mentioned a "absolute scourge on the server". If we compare things, almost any other faction Gunboat is absolute scourge for an Ahoudari or other civilian Gunboats too. There will always be better and worse Gunboats.
There's a thing: we're not talking about duels here. We're talking about group fights, in which all Civilian Gunboats are total useless, especially when you're on an unlawful side, which is mostly outnumbered and overpowered.
Quote:The difference is that in 2010-2011 people used the Ahoudori, a civilian gunboat. One that is large, slow, and heavy. One still accessible to generic IDs today. And you may not remember this, but cap8 Zoner turret Ahoudoris were an absolute scourge on the server. Nobody liked fighting them because of how absolutely OP they were.
I do remember that, but it was still killable. Maybe in a Gunboat duels it was a big advantage, but such things happen to happen nowadays too.
P.S Duel isn't a thing here. Because it almost never happens in RP. Unlawfuls have to be outnumbered and overpowered(and it's logical and normal) which is already a big disbalance. And when we add so many restrictions, such a nerf system and much more energy usage for using Basic Turrets, it makes everything more disbalanced too.
P.S.S If you want to balance things for Connecticut, where we go and duel, then it's a good thing. But things are quite different outside of Connecticut. I know quite well which faction to join, which ID to get and which ship to take with 100% core which will be a "absolute scourge" for the whole server to be honest.
