The Dreadnought Dilemma - the ideal role of heavy caps in disco

[Lemon]

Snubs are just too unforgiving for newbies, too useless for PvE and the skill floor is too high for PvP which is part of the reason why they gravitate towards caps

[...] If you invest the time [...]

I'm not disagreeing with you on any of your points, mind, just highlighting this. We are talking about newbies here. People who have just started playing the game casually without any specific focus. I feel like most snub aces are so completely disconnected from this experience that they don't realize the massive gulf that exists between that and knowing something as basic as what a weapon group and jousting is. And what most new players will think is "Oh I died in 15 seconds. I need a bigger ship with bigger number."

I tried learning snubs, it seems utterly pointless unless you want to grind a lot - to what end? So you get to a stage where you aren't having fun because there's nobody at your level to fight besides 4 other guys?

The meta also now removed luck like nova instakills weaker players like me at least did something from time to time with - snubs experience is - I go in, I get chipped down slowly with an inevitable outcome. It's boring.

You can tell the cap balance has been done by snub players with the same philosophy unfortunately, but at least you last a lot longer and have a chance at lucky big shots.

The only frequent PvP now are big mixed fleet fights- another reason why learning fighter vs fighter seems even more pointless.


And to the disconnect - yeah, it's like snub aces can't even remotely fathom how casuals think and operate, the worlds seem completely detached
