2020 PvE Overhaul, Phase 1: Current State and NPC/Mission Reworks

[jammi]

Lucky One is right, this is a fight, snubs must be aware that capital ships could crush them, it is all tactics and skills that wins the war.

It's not really skill to engine-kill a juggernaut, turn sideways and slide it into a furball of distracted fighters.

^ Well the solution is obvious then, remove engine kill for cruisers & up

[Skorak]

Not possible.

Life is full of disappointments, it is how we handle them that helps to define us, as a person

[Redcroft]

Also how is the mission bug repair goin?

Counter argument to your argument :
It is not really a skill to fire one CD on that juggernaut , stope him in his track and leave him helpless. And , what kind of snub pilot , who is engaged in combat ,especialy in group comat, is aware of all possibe snubs treats and he is at same time unable to spot that capital ship that chargung toward him, altough capital is, oh well, 100 times bigger ?
Do you really belive that trick can work more that few times , even if work sometimes ? Lets say for a moment that your worst fear happens, all snubs in fight are blind and not notice big capital that want to ram them, and somehoe actualy manage to hit and kills few subs .
What will happen next time?
Well, if we assume that all involved in fight are not complete morons, they will be more aware, as they are aware in any fight with multiole enemies, both snubs and capital ships, and will watch if there is any capital close by, and will CD him.
Problem solved.
Now, if they are morons, they will alove Capitals to hit them ,but then again, what can help them anyway?
This is not game for morons anyway.

For past 10 or so years , Nobody had any idea how to solve baloon effect ,except me . I belive this is only way, because game is designed to have collision damage,when they remove that, they created baloon effect.

I guess people don't remember when the ram damage was introduced and capital ships purposely cruised up and rammed as many snubs as they could in a snubfight.

I will pesonaly give 100 M credits to anyone who manage to ram Capital ship in to a 10 x more agile and evasive snub already engaged in fight, possibility to acomplish that is so small that you have bigger chance to won in Lotery prise that is nor replace ticket.

Really? All snubs will just let some enemy Capital to casualy Cruise away araund them? When did that ever happen? Sunbs normaly CD every Capital i fight ,not alowing him to do any manuvees . And as for ones who will say what if capital cruse away in cloack, even if by some miracle he manage to hit so agile craft in his clumsy elephant Battleship, i belive we have no attacking under cloack rule for that.
Really, dont use 1/10.000 chance possibility as reason to stop fixing bug that ruins capital ships driving for years...

If by any chance they do not see that big small planet sized capital ship is going to hit them, they will be aware next time.
