BS turrets screwed?!

[str8]

Oooorrr, instead of QQing about how your overbuffed Osiris got nerfed, you can try LEARNING how to use a light battleship?

The lighter a ship gets, the more skill required to use it effectively. That wasn't the case in .85, but it is now.

What I see here is that you got three options.

-Deal with it, and use it as a <strike>RP</strike> conversation/poem-typing boat.
-Learn to fly it.
-Stop using it.

That's ok, about ossie. But one think, how can Red Hessian battleship have 3 class 10 + forward gun and he is little bit bigger the ossie? Is that ok to you or what?

Well, dropping the idea of 2/4/6 loadout is a bad news indeed. However is the other request of order change of class 10 and class 9 wepons has been dropped too?
Doleo pls answer.

Still pending. As an enhancement rather then a bug, it has a low priority. Live with it meanwhile, learn to use weapon groups.

Yeah. Im using wepon group right now. But it would be good if that enhancement done.

well i just noticed that the BS turrets are now clas 8,9,10.class 10 are the best weapons(mortar missile and razor) and 8's are primaries i think.
i just checked and my ossie has just 1 class 10 turret.isnt it screwed up or what?whats wrong with it?what was wrong with the old system,all BS turrets clas 10 and you load as many turrets as ya like.Now i cant mount 2 mortars or 1 mortar and 1 missile or anything else cuz i only have 1 class 10 turret.

WHY?why did admins implement this?

and why the bullet effects have changed?I saw that many bs turrets have the same effect,why?these new effects suck like hell,why cant we have the old ones back?or is it a bug ?

Your osiris has been turned into most useless battleship in the game. Profit.:yahoo:

I gotta admit this dude speaks the true.

Jorg does pack quite a lot of firepower considering it's size when you compare it to ossie, but there is one trick.

If you take into account that hessian battleship will be mainly fighting Rheinland Military heavy caps, then it's firepower isn't that much, but then again, Corsairs also use osiris so eventually they will face each other, and I think osiris won't have much of a chance.

Also, small problem that is bugging me, Order BS Primary effect is blue and on hit red? What the...:D
It is quite similar now to BHG Primaries, I liked more yellow ones :P

On the other hand, a Jorgmungand can't cruise up to an Osiris and win, which means an Osiris can kite it forever unless the Jorg wants to concede defeat by default.

Cruise up = no power = no forward gun/mortar/other heavy weapons => Osiris starts with 7 million power advantage.

Jorg's also can't turn to face a RM BS without getting splatted, despite the forward gun. Then again, that's the price you pay for joining the club of people having stolen stuff from Liberty. Apparently there's something wrong with designing your own things..

You might want to check where those 3 guns are placed.

Hey be happy??

Since first day of 4.85 people moaned about order being cap-whores.... But when the caps disappear you moan because their weak??? How many times have you been raped by a raiding party while flying that ossy compared to how many times have you survived a raiding party?

i would be willing to put money on a 80/20 bet... 80% dieing, 20% surviving a BHG/Nomnom raid

Somebody forgot to mention that these colony ships (Zoner juggy yeye) have the same frontal firepower of an Outcast Ranseur (warship, yeye), as in 4 medium slots, 4 heavy slots. Difference is the Ranseur has ~980k base armor while the Zoner juggy has 1.5 million base armor.

But yeah, keep whining about Ossie.

Why are you comparing the Osiris with the RHA bs? Why dont you compare the LEGATE with the Jorgmungand?

Osiris is a light battleship: low armor, little hardponts (especially rank10), maneuverable, low energy generatior. Its similar to the mako but even better. On the top of that it have 5 primaries which are enough to take down any heavy battleship at 2.3k + range.

The lighter a ship gets, the more skill required to use it effectively. That wasn't the case in .85, but it is now.

As Repur already stated, you need more skills to fly effectively lighter or medium battleships. Dont fly osiris like its turtle:)

Corsairs have 2 choices for battleships while the majority of the other factions have just 1. And the osiris, as light battleship it's not created for direct assaults but for hit and run tactics just like the corsairs "general idea" and order's secret missions.
You want to assault or raid a system with giant corsair fleet? Take 1 legate and escort of two osirises with few bombers here is your fleet.

As for the bs turret splitting system, kudos to the entire dev team.
