Aoi Iseijin General Information and Place to cry your eyes out

[mjolnir]

Nobody really answered chopper's question..

If you have an overlook over the gear this faction is using:

Ships (those most numerous):
Katanas - best VHF in kusari, a bit better than Chimaera in all but powerplant (doesn't matter much if you use better guns)

KNF GBs - best GB in kusari
(seen only these, no other gb)

KNF destroyer - best cruiser in kusari
(seen 1 of these, no other cruiser)

Guns:

Nomad Lasers
- best guns in game, the most used 4.00 one is better at damage/efficency than any other fast gun, 2nd best in damage only (behind phantom Lamia), no disadvantage vs any shieldtype (i.e. no defense)
invisible models (cause they are part of the nomads themselves), no hitbox so the ship has smaller profile

Inferno - Outcast gun
Easiest way to get from defensive to offensive in a fighter fight without any risk involved (compared with mini), great against capships.

Nomad GB turrets - made for Nomad Gunboat
- change the Kusari GB from very good ship to overpowered one, made for nomad GB that is big and has limited firing arcs


=> PvP advantages involved with all the listed equipment
Is it really surprising that it's hard to believe the RP reasons behind all that? Even harder when they are not presented.


=======================================================

How can it happen that the equipment/combination is overpowered? Isn't it you Mjolnir that should have made sure things aren't overpowered?


- there were no kusari wild at the time these guns and ships were added/balanced
- Inferno (and Krakens) on BD ships was regarded as problematic inn 4.84 as well and adressed by removing the discovery-added alliance between Outcasts and Blood Dragons
- the Rheinland Wild were allowed to get official and to exist after declaring that no more than 50% of their guns will be nomad (nomad doesn't necessarily mean keeper btw.)

- when AoI were started later (between 4.85 updates) this re-commitment was again promised (and kept for quite a while) by Exile



=========================================================

I'm not a member of the Aoi Iseijin but in my opinion it really doesn't matter what ship/gun combination they use, if you are a better pilot you will win regardless....

Most likely yes, so no reason to use better equipment? Specially not when it doesn't look like the first choice RP-wise.
The better pilot doesn't need it.
Enemy pilots won't complain.
Everyone happy
