Eh bottom line, all this nerfing and changes over the past few years have pretty much killed off this game, Numbers do not lie and the population even at peak times now is pretty pathetic. And yea i have heard all the "people move on to other games" crap over and over again but deny it all you want this game has pretty much dropped in population a ton over the passed couple years and i know so many who have quit due to nerfing and removal of so many things in this game that so many loved before. But yea many of you just say it is other reasons cause you are in denial of the truth of it. Heck i remember when this game was actually hard to log into at times cause the server was full. All i have seen in this thread are the same people defending all these nerfs cause it made them happy pvp was harder cause their egos like nomnom said are bruised and they do not get as many blues.
P.S. Let's face it they need to change this from Discovery RP to Discovery PVP. Because that seems most all of you are worried about is your damn blues!
Good solution... remove all systems but conn, remove all ships and bring back the Starflea and only mount 1 gun on it, no shield. Then everything will be balanced and only skill will win. Would that be balanced enough?
