Test Server Feedback

Capital MJD

1000MN MWD

I still dont see how being tackled by invisible ships is a good change. Sure, it shakes things up and is disruptive, but so is allowing ships that are cloaked to shoot while remaining cloaked, or allowing ships to assign drones from off grid.

Edit: Its also just not dictors. You can get it so interceptors can land on grid, lock and scram a target before the target even sees the interceptor on dscan, let alone on grid.

It is lacking the sub the do so, sadly.

So you might as well delete from database long range weapons since as soon as 1 dictor is in system every ranged fleet from arty muninn to railgun megathron is useless compared to any blaster ship.
Oh well, we can still fit long range weapon on marauders, because being stuck for 1 whole min will not prevent an interceptor to travel 2 systems and tackle me.

The Original programers who introduced the uniform acceleration model, did so because of graphics engine restraints, unfortunately they must have left CCP, collectively forgotten its become a good idea again! I don't believe the current engine can support the feature. It's too late to back track the main selling point of Rubicon. Will we be left with a faulty product, with ghost ships and invisible alpha strikes. Does one get refunds for faulty games knowingly broken?

I am from PL and I like all the changes, This is all.....

I would also like to thank Makalu Zarya for been a total knob head and using the “When people unsub their supers and you lose 1000s of active characters maybe you'll listen.” Line.

I would just like to say this to him “YOU ARE WRONG” just like the other 10000 times people like you have said people will unsub there supers because of this and that. Yet here we are 2013 and still people have them are still subbed.

every time anyone in pizza posts im embarrassed to be in pizza

like everyone else except CCP, who stil ignore it even if we bring it right under their nose....as usual....this is really getting pathetic, F*** the test server, every single time there is constructive feedback and real issues pointed out, the only answer we have is either NO answer, or "gtfo working as intended"

this was done for uni inv, exploration, now this...(and those are only the ones i remember).

next time i have to sub, pretty sur my wallet will say "gtfo" too.....

I couldn't have said it better. It will certainly enable more destruction than the current system, since interceptors will be able to be on you very very quick after scanning you. But it is not broken since you can still find out what's happening with your Dscan if you see combat probes, and also because the cavalry (BC, BS) will take more time to arrive. Interdictors and other small tacklers may have to survive longer than before, actually. Thus making them both more important and more fun to fly.

About Heavy Interdictors, remember that without implants it won't be significantly faster than now. And with implants, since it cannot equip other implant sets for resilience, the Heavy Interdictor won't be very hard to kill if you're coordinated enough.

Edit :

You're considering a few points for being the norm, like for instance the natural reaction delay when a ship is on the overview but still coming out of warp. And it is indeed true that this delay will be shorter, or negated, in Rubicon. (At least for small ships because for others it will be significantly longer)... But maybe being less safe, or having to deploy more means to reach the same level of safety (scouts, D-scan, overall higher attention) is not a bad change.

About the point thing, it happens in both ways since you can also hear 'warp drive active' with your pod and be scrambled right after (true story).

And concerning the decloak, that's true but is it necessarily a bad thing ? If you're moving too fast it's because you want to cover a lot of volume in a minimum amount of time. Often because you are moving randomly, aimlessly to find your cloaked target. But then you uncloaking your opponent is just a matter of pure luck, and we know how bad gameplay based on luck can be for both parts (*cough* ECM *cough*). Whereas if you have carefully noted the distance and direction where your ennemi cloaked, you are much less likely to miss him due to server tick because you won't burn at full speed for a random duration.

the delay is not negated, you are actually bubbled BEFORE the ship even show up on grid.

from your point of view, you are actually bubbled by NOTHING, the bubble just appears out of thin air


regarding the decloak, please be a inty pilot before even comenting, an inty doing 4200m /S will miss the decloack 50% of the time even in succesfull "go through"

the point cannot be applied for anything warping under 2 sec when he crosses a gate for example, since you need 1 sec to lock then 1 sec for the point to activate, so here we are, back to the server tick issue

i really suggest you test it on SISI, it's pretty clear once you play around with intys + new warp speed or dictors, how broken it is
