Is it time to nerf cruise disruptors?

[DarkTails]

This hasn't been an issue literally ever nor is it an issue now. It's not a gun, it's, at best, a premature ordinance detonator.

"It disrupts cloaks." No. It disrupts the charging process. Once your cloaked, there's nothing your standard train or mosq CD will do to you. Continuing to use CDs on a successfully cloaked target is a rule violation.

As Thunderer said, jump drive disruptors don't exist. Using a CD is your only way to stop a jump drive without the player stopping it or killing the ship.

The way you portray CDs is honestly dishonest. One of the main reasons CDs are dominant on most choices is because they can do precisely what their first purpose is, stop a ship from entering cruise.

To effectively and consistently intercept and destroy hostile ordinance in the window that matters, you have to use a CD that has a larger (by comparison) explosion range, limiting you to a shorter range CD, making you less effective at stopping fleeing ships than one with a train or heavy CD would be. You half your range on intercepting ships to compensate for effective and consistent ordinance disposal. Don't make things that aren't an issue an issue. CDs arent some be-all-end-all weapon. They're a utility. Ofcourse a utility item is going to have more versatility over a regular weapon. A CD can't nearly one-shot an enemy fighter, a CD can't deplete an enemies shield in one shot. You can argue "yes it does" all you want when in reality it doesn't. You require the other set of tools to put the CD to effective use. Those tools are much more limited themselves because of (in the case of mines) they have a much more restricted ammo capacity or lower explosion radius/damage if you go for spammable ones, which the vast majority don't considering I only ever see two mines in use: Screamer and Nuke. Screamers are a nuisance to shields, but otherwise do no hull damage. Nuke mines generally get CD'd in time to effect you enough if you're: A. A top PvP ace, even then half the time it doesn't work. B. You were going to hit it anyway.

Focus on the real issues with Disco, not making up issues that don't exist.
