Another Hypothetical Scenario

Simple scenario, the ammo system is scrapped from the game for all classes of units. They now have no ammunition, but they consume energy depending on their class, much like capital ship missile launchers.

I see a change in the PvP system as a whole, and a lot of 'missile-ships/fighters/bombers'. With countermeasures being unlimited too now, missile effectiveness is like a gamble, and a lot of CM spamming and missile spamming.

I'm unsure if fights will be quicker or slower with this.

Feedback?

Yeah I like the idea. Could see people tossing up between missles and razor ect and make more dynamic fights.

Unlimited ammo instead ?

I'd have a all or mostly missle LF.

and leave CDs on automatic on all ships all the time.

That, or I may do like I would do in .84 when two hostile groups were fighting....... cruise to like 4k away on my dual nova bomber, EK, launch, repeat til I randomly wtfpwn whole furball.

If nothing else, my indie LR Barghest is going to just novaspsam the HELL outta targets now.

Remember, in this scenario missiles would take up energy, limited the amount you can fire, and countermeasures are unlimited too to counter the spam.

o-toripi-to CM wa dame da yo.

Automatic Countermeasures are no good Fenton, unless of course they were unlimited. But would the needed energy cost make them worthwhile to spam? Probably not.

Plus, in the present version of discovery - Why would you leave your CMs on autofire anyway? Its a waste of money and resources if you ask me.

I never even knew there was autofire. Go me.

Besides, why let the computer do the work when sprinting away from pirates and hitting the C button to fire the CM's? It adds the thrill to the chase!

AAAAAAAAA SWARM MISSILE PODS!


But nah, I wouldn't like it. Regardless of energy consumption, it's still a hell of a lot of missiles, even with unlimited CMs.

Let me be honnest with you FLetcher: that would suck.

Also, I dont see why if CDs gotta be total fail against GB missiles, and capspam is not really wantef, then GB missiles gotta be unlimmited.

You wanted someone to say that, didnt you?

Let me be honest with you: Go away already, Karlotta, and get a life.
