Discovery 4.91 Patch 12 Balance Changes [12/6/2019]

[-Rax-]

the problem with the falchion wasnt its armor or bot count, its the crosshair being on its 2d nose making it cancer to hit

the change did nothing to it lul

Okay snark aside this is the kind of feedback that makes it a lot easier to investigate why a balance thing is A Bad Problem. My understanding based on this post is that the lead indicator is too far forward, causing the bulk of the ship's hull to be to outside of the impact area. If that sounds right, then please observe the following:



The red cross is the current lead indicator placement. The blue cross is one that would be more fairly distributed taking into account where the "core" of the ship's hittable parts are -- the wings and the rear half of the hull.

Now, you all know I am not a very good snub pilot, so I'm not just going to say "yeah looks good on paper let's throw it in". So, I'll ask here: does this crude diagram look like a solid explanation of where the problem with the Falchion is and what would be an adequate fix for it?

AFAIK the Falchion doesn't have a proper shield bubble.

It has a shield bubble, we confirmed that the other day in-game and I've confirmed it just now by taking a dump of the hitbox data.

You moved the cross to the actual center of the mass gravity on the ship. That's also placed rear the cockpit and it's more centered. It may cause a change and im pretty sure will be fairly better. Still though and due to the ship sizes will be tricky to hit from the front and back, but you did good in reducing the hull.
