Discovery Freelancer Patch 4.88.6 Capital Ship Changes

[Antonio]

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.

The "total useless ships" just got buffed, and I bet you haven't flown either of them or fought against them yet. Instead of being ungrateful that your favorite toy got justifiably nerfed, because there -should- be a disadvantage if you use 75% tech, how about you actually go and test these gunboats and see how they perform, especially the Ahoudori.

I know why it bothers you so much. It's because you were spoiled to the previous status of gunboat prims and having infinite core even on 75%. So now that you actually do start losing core, it's a harsh change all of a sudden. If you didn't know, you can continuously fire for 20 seconds on a light core gunboat with 75%, which actually isn't bad at all and is a good foundation to balance other prims around. The gunboat class as a whole needs revision on that particular topic because they still don't drain your core on 90% and 100% gunboats, but that's not the topic here.

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.

Not true. Pirate ID barely participates in any groupfights, unless you willingly get yourself pinned down like a sitting duck because you want to PvP people and end up being swarmed by the lawfuls instead of actually doing Pirate ID roleplay.

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.

How does that affect Connecticut/non Connecticut combat in any way, shape or form? Basics never were the best dueling gun in the first place, because you had faction guns with more dps (since you were almost always at full core). If anything, it balances outside of Connecticut because now if you wish to use tech you're not supposed to, you will feel your dps dropping down. There was no drawback before, and you know it.
