Aoi Iseijin General Information and Place to cry your eyes out

Now, to all the people who complain about the loadouts we use:

Let's do a simple math, and compare the "omg imba!!!" Full Nomad-Inferno Katana to one of the most spammed ships ingame: Full Kraken-Inferno Sabre.

Sabre has 7 forward firing slots, plus a 11k core. Krakens do 556 damage per shot on 4.00 refire, and use 504 EPS. Means a full Kraken Sabre can keep a constant fire for about 4 seconds, dealing 15,568 damage.

Katana has 6 forward firing slots, plus a 10k core. Also, note that it can mount only 4 Kl.10 nomad weapons, and the other 2 have to be Kl.9 nomad guns if we want to get the highest hull damage output. So, Kl. 10 refire 4.00 nomad guns do 590 per shot, while using 480 EPS, and Kl.9 refire 4.00s do 475 damage per shot, using 384 EPS, which means a Katana can hold constant fire for also roughly 4 seconds, dealing a total of 13,240 damage.

Now... I mean no disrespect, but I honestly don't see what's there to cry about.

Sabre and Katana/Chimaera have rather very different size and profile.

Btw. During 4.85 development there were quite a few people using this kind of math to compare Kraken Sabre with Salamanca Titan.
Salamaca Titan always came out as a much better ship.


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

Iseijin how ever, has some of the best PvPers on disco. If they go on raids and "rape everything", it's not because of the gear they use, it's because of the skill level they've achieved through hours and hours of practice.

Then it's even harder to understand why do they feel the need to mount overpowered equipment.

The pilots don't need it.
Enemies complain.


As a hessian faction leader wrote 3 years ago:

it just simply isn't fun to fight people in an overpowered ship. No satisfaction comes from it, cause anybody could do the same thing really. I prefer overpowering opponents by skill than by using a broken ship

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

Be sure if the same people flying Iseijin Katanoms now, start flying Codie Werewolfs for a month around Liberty, people will start crying about Werewolf being OP as <yeah>.

We actually used this as a test method the first few months after 4.85 release, but rather the other way. If people complained about something being really bad, a group of developers would fly that for some time and then propose changes.

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

I don't see any reason to going into personal accusations, even less so to making them the main argument.
