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

[Oggdo Bogdo]

I'm more than willing to look at the lead indicators on other ships. All you need to do is ask, preferably nicely.

No, all the ships I listed are basically fine balance-wise, or if they do have problems, its elsewhere. I'm trying to tell you that the Falchion is close to the mode level of effectiveness for VHFs, and that it is unfair to lower its power level because of people making balance judgements while flying awful ships (cough, mostly Sabre) against it in impractical scenarios (i.e. guns-only fights) to test balance in Connecticut. If I were to change anything, I would be looking at buffing some of the underwhelming ships rather than touching ships that are fine.

The point is that this "issue" with the lead indicator is a very common characteristic and not a symptom of imbalance. At the very most, it affects duelling ability marginally (the size of the shield bubble is far more important in a full fight with ammo and reloads) as it is irrelevant in chasing scenarios in group fights. However, nerfing it by lowering armor and nanos/shield batteries affects it in all scenarios. As will upscaling the ship.

Edit: Please don't take offense at my words, I'm not upset with you or anyone, I just come off as a blunt most of the time. xd
