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

[Shaggy]

The problem with the plier is, even with its nerf, it still takes a ton of work to bring just one down without the use of a 1 hit kill weap. As i saw last night during the event, there was 3-4 Gallic royals on a single Maquis Plier and it just tanked and tanked and tanked whilst carrying on with its merry business.

That single Plier was me, and the issue you are having is not the guns it can use but the fact it can mount a CAU VII armor upgrade, and a freighter shield. It is a very tanky ship which a Super Heavy Fighter is suppose to be. They are a multi-purpose ship, and anti fighter and anti bomber but also to provide added support to bomber squads. Which it does already by now using Scrochers and Neutralizer bombs. So all in all the SHF lines are now balanced to the point if they are heavily targetted they don't get destroyed like paper where they used to before, and they can hold there own against fighters and bombers.

I am scared of fighting bombers in my plier due to it being an insta kill weapon, and it is alot harder to insta kill a bomber with double MR then it would be a single SNAC, yes maybe my request of getting the Plier and OSC Shuttle to be able to use both MR and SNAC, but maybe restrict it so it can either mount a SNAC or it can mount MR. or SNAC/MR.

Let's not forget the MR can do good damage to fighters, but a SNAC can not insta kill fighters anymore, they can instakill SHF, BMB, Freighters and unarmoed transporters. I think gb's too but not 100%
