Test Server Feedback

Yeah,

But we need Polarized RHML and RLML.

I'm just curious when these weapons are going to start materializing in-game. Weren't the sites supposed to start appearing in Phoebe shortly after launch?

So basically Rhea.

Another usless set of modules. I don't belive that there will be an interesting use of such weapons.

Sure such ppl could use them, but is there a difference if they have more dps or not, from the gameplay perspective. Their victim would die anyway because of jamm, tackle and blob.
I just dont understand why add modules which cannot be used in cases where your enemy can shoot back.

Time will tell, but not based on current market prices.

Yes, all of them have appeared on the market. I expect you'll start to see prices drop on a daily basis.

GL with that. Current prices are 500kk for one 200mm ac

Even though I know they've been released, I really think Polarized weapons need to go back to the drawing board.

1. For starters, while the "Polarized" name is an improvement, there are other 'Polarized' modules and as they're "Sleeper" weapons I don't know why they just don't use that instead.
2. While the removal of resistances sounds great in theory, in practice it's borderline useless outside of shooting structures - and even then I'm not sure how practical that is. I won't even comment on how PvP and PvE won't touch these weapons with a 10-foot pole.

So something else is definitely needed as a counter to the officer-grade capability of these weapons, I'm just not 100% sure what. But it isn't the complete and total loss of all resistances.

Addendum: Further to my original post, here's the suggestion I posted under "Features & Ideas".
.....

During the testing phase for Phoebe there wasn't much of an opportunity to provide feedback on the 'Polarized' weapons (the bulk of the discussion related to the previous two iterations of the name for these weapons). As it now stands, the complete and total negation of all resistances basically relegates these weapons to structure grinding - and I'm not entirely sure how realistic even that scenario is. As short-range weapons, this effectively rules out every form of PvE - and the lack of resistances also rules out most forms of PvP. In essence, this 'tactical niche' is non-existent.

For starters, while 'Polarized' is an improvement over the original term ('Blighted', if I recall correctly), these are effectively Sleeper weapons - so why not just call them that? Sleeper drones have zero shields/resistances and zero hull resistances, so instead of 'Sleeper' weapons rendering all resistances null and void - why not instead just have them eliminate shields, shield resistances, hull resistances and disable any shield or hull-related modules (such as Shield Booster, Damage Control or Bastion modules).

Yes, this basically relegates any effective use of 'Sleeper' weapons to armor tanks. But Sleeper-equipped ships also lose their shield buffer/passive shield recharge as well as the ability to augment resistances and prolong survivability through Damage Control. Comments welcome.

so...... no large rails?
