Version 5.0 "Fire and Fortune" - Everything I DISLIKED Part 1 - Balance and Stuff

[LuckyOne]

Totally agree on the missile part.

The missiles now simply are no fun for the person being missiled.

I know the devs balance stuff, but that is often done on paper and with testing in very small fights / duels.

Try being on the receiving end of 3-4 fully missile kited battleships / battlecruisers. In the previous meta, a good cruiser / BC player could just kite and stay slightly out of range. He couldn't do much damage-wise but it was a good tactic that would enable other teammates to focus on the flanks of the pursuers.

Now the kiting ship just gets mauled to death by the lack of thruster energy / CM ammo / unreliable flaks that ask for near-perfect timing to stop the incoming missiles. Not to mention the refire rates on the flaks and CMs are still bad when there is an incoming missile alert every 10 seconds.

And why the hell half the missiles can't be CD-ed anymore ? You removed the option for teammates to help the target of enemy's missiles, why ?
