Sorry what?

[Lythrilux]

it's just these battleship cerb changes seem so random and illogical.

People were asking the devs to extend the "cap battles" for years. How would you propose that to happen? By adding more hit points - pool of life - to each cap? It would be time consuming to fix all ships and in the end it wont be the right decision. By nerfing the "primary" source of damage in cap battles - the ship remain same but they simply wont do "that" much damage in such a short time. Do you understand what I am trying to explain you?

Who says cap fight needs to be made longer? I don't see a community majority echoing that opinion.

Good. Now there will be more variety and thought put into cap loadouts. Fights will become interesting.

Actually this change will lead to something else...all battleships (or most of them) will put 1x Mortar, 1x Missle, 1x razor (and +1 more for heavist BBs). It will be hilarious for all to see indies spamming missles and razors here and there. I don't mean it would be bad from people that know what they're doing but just imagine LNS indies spamming 12 missles in middle of brawl

Since I remember myself being here. Back then it was problematic cuz 12 primaries firing on you was same as 2-3 cerbs with 4 primaries - battles were fast and less fun. I can't track down all the threads but trust me - a lot of players wanted to fight longer in caps and primary - longer in battleships (referring to BB vs BB).

Exactly...

Why would anyone put such a mixed loadout? And people didn't use missiles for another reason. I don't see a big revival on that side.

come on lad!

Breath, keep cool, play disco, repeat!

you have each a point of view but final words come from dev. like ive already said: lets try it! lets hate it (or love it)! ONLY then we will be able to judge its a mistake and im pretty sure devs will take not of everybody griefs!

Edit: Cerbs at this range are just asking for more decloaking ships

Not exactly. These changes will also "nerf" the decloaking assaults - because if you uncloak in front of someone at 1.5km range with 0 shields...you do realize you are going down unless you are valor, right?

This whole thing will force players to play safer, keep distance and play smart. Also it seems "heavy slots" will become something like a "special" slot to mount "something" supportive and yet not so important, being long range (mortars/missles) or close range (cerberus/razors).

A ransuer decloaking on a mako will win

A legate decloaking on an osiris will win

A marduk decloaking on any light BS will win.

A arbiter decloaking on a lib dread will win.

This makes the valor once again the most powerful battleship.

A kusari BS decloaking on a Dragon BS will kill it.

You might as well delete all light/medium battleships.

You want to delete all light and medium battleships because there are cloaks? Wouldn't the more logical thing be to delete cloaks then?

And dying because battleships aren't going to be viable any more. Like I said earlier; don't fix what isn't broken. Sometimes simplicity can be excellent. I don't understand why there's this massive desire to completely revolutionize something that already works perfectly fine that could yield negative results.

FYI, devs have implemented cloak disruptors.
Also, why is everyone crying about this before they even had a chance to test it out? For all you know, it might be more fun to go with a different setup rather then with "cerbs or lose". Give it a week or 2 and after that start crying again.
