It seam their low scan res is a relic of days long past. It's dumb to have 16 sec lock time on a frigate when it can align and warp off in only 3 or burn ~50 km in that time.

just saying.

It knows what you think.

Your point being?
Lower scan resolution (and mobility) is the tradeoff for flying a larger ship.

I suppose next you'll be complaining that frigates have lower EHP?

Scan resolution of carriers and supercaps is to be tuned down then, too. At the moment it's way too good for such a huge size.

Nice. Silly little head of yours managed to figure out some whining in my post.

Can't roast when you can't track so what if BS could lock on things a little faster? Hell many cruisers can't lock on frigs fast enough anyway so what's the point with the BS scan res being so low anyway? Working as intended from back in 2004, maybe. You know, when large turrets also had the best tracking and all that good stuff. It was needed then. Now we have tracking and signature resolution to deal with.

BS scan res does not need to be like that anymore.

It knows what you think.

I think they could use a small increase. They currently have 1/2 to a 3rd that of a Battlecruiser.

A good 15-20% Boost would give them a bit more of a chance to lock a BC without being a major threat to smaller Cruisers, Destroyers and Frigates.

Have to agree that scan resolution as a mechanic is dumb as hell ... but its just one of these artificial gamerules that make it "balanced"


Still the idea of bigger ships having worse electronics capabilities then small ones is quite wierd. Its like 10m sailboat having better electronics then a goddam aircraft carrier. But its a game so there will allways be dumb stuff like this.

Hint: Don't fire at frigates with your battleship?

Just because they're big, does not mean that BS should be able to wtfsolopwn smaller things. This is as it should be.
