Balance: Unkillable Battleships

[lIceColon]

Oh look, another restrictionlancer thread. Anyway sounds like a legit tactic to me (and no I don't own a jump drive) If they sundive back, report them.

/thread

this.

[Nerva]

Jumping out of combat, repairing and flying/jumping back into combat is perfectly valid tactic.

Get out.

Once you quit from a fight like that with your Pussy-Out button, you should be PVP dead. Any ship logically close to death, would in actuality take weeks to months of repair time. not mere seconds.

Its dickish

its OORP

its metagaming

so No. Its not a valid tactic.

Good to see you have provided some nice and valid arguments.
/s
You are just mad.
You also failed to read anything after the first sentence.

[Jack_Henderson]

Go buy more jumpdrives.

I'm actually considering doing just that. The more they are overused in this suicidal manner, the higher the probability of restricting their abuse.

In disco context however we have nanobots that already repair a ship that was close to death back to full health in an instant. In the context of docking with a station for a quick repair, all it has to do is to feed a bunch of nanobots to the bs that instantly regens its health to 100%.

Regens are temporary fixes, nanobots provide a small wall of nanobots in hull breaches to prevent catostrophic decompression, but its a temp fix. Actual time in drydock is still required.

Maybe for it to be fully repaired, it has to take months, but merely to get back into combat condition nanobots would do for now.

It's not about roleplay. A feature is broken when it has no counterpart or drawbacks.

This one is just that. A charge time of 2 minutes or a "screwed upon ram" counter would sufice imo. Specially the last one.

"screwed upon ram"

Given the tendency of NPCs doing this...this would make Jumping a much more problematic feature, and would just be a new source of annoyance.

I'd rather say, make a new kind of CD that can disrupt Jumping/Cloaking.

Idea regarding Botts:

Why not make it so that a ship never carriers more than enough botts to repair just 30-50% of the total hull of the ship? That would seem more proper inRP in making botts a temporary field repair rather than a "magical" 100% repair solution. (might help prevent more bott feeding, too)

If that change worries folks about making fights too fast, I'd say compensate by increasing the number of Shield Batt regens, since shields are way easier to take down and they regenerate anyways.

Makes sense for a ship not to carry 3x its hull's worth of nanobots. inrp that is a horribly inefficient use of storage.
