Ships & Modules

If I can give my take on BS balance, I feel the meta could be fleshed out a bit by buffing BSes a great deal. They should be given 2xEHP and 2-3xDPS. This will make them extremely OP and also greatly increase the EHP of the blob, however, the EHP of the blob is nerfed due to the huge DPS buffs BSes receive (i.e greater BS DPS = things die faster). BSes basically become mini-dreads and as such should be removed from highsec. BCs should be rebalanced to reflect something more similar to the current state of BSes, with the class fleshed out as a whole to include pirate BCs and a wider line-up of T2 options for BCs.

It's ok. He knows what he's doing.

He's getting more and more overt.

Is it too early to cite Godwin's Law yet? Is that when this thread stops OP?

fixed that for ya bud

OP has a mad ego tank and will not waver, no matter how much evidence to the contrary is presented to him.
No matter how many different sources it originates from.
No matter what.

This thread is now about MechWarrior and it's various subgames.
Discussion of the merits of bacon is also acceptable.

While somewhat off topic, further videos of battleships stomping fleets solo are also quite welcome.

EDIT: I've always been fond of the Jenner personally, as I started with the tabletop game playing with Solaris VII arena rules with a couple of nerds I worked with. Found that the all laser variant was great for harassing fire while moving, and could deliver a pretty punishing alpha strike. However, it courted shutdown when using it's alpha unless standing in water. Light mechs, while fragile, are a heck of a lot of fun to play.

well that doesnt' mean much really, my char is 2 years something old but i got barely more than a year of training, did a single month after free trial then had to quit and came back a lot of time later xD

There is a name for that.



I've always been a medium mech guy (though I also love heavies like the Crusader, Rifleman, Thunderbolt and Warhammer, 3025 ear battletech 4 LIFE lol). Players of Battletech tended to laugh at me, but my favorite was the Vanilla Wolverine. It just worked lol.

In MW4 i mostly pilots Buishwackers, Dragons and Lokis, with the odd Thanatos for craps and giggles lol. Maybe I've outgrown it, I can't really seem to get into MWO.

Like Jenn aSide said, battleship balance isn't that bad, it just has a much higher skill requirement than most other ships which is quite a good thing really. Gives players something to aim for in the long term.

The pirate faction ships are all pretty good with much more tank and DPS than others plus a trait of some sort that helps overcome a BSs biggest disadvantages (mobility and damage application) like the Vindis webs or the Machs speed.

T1 BSs are not that bad either with the Typhoon, Dominix, Armageddon and Raven all seeing use along with anything else that can do drones, neutralizers and rapid heavies. Armor tanking and having mid slots for utility/prop/tackle helps allot for these ships as well. Navy faction variants are usually just beefed up versions of those.

It would be nice if some of the slower purely turret based ships like the Rokh, Abaddon, Maelstrom and the Apocalipse got a bit of a look at though. A few more utility mids/highs maybe.

What if I told you......

I feel compelled to train into a Redeemer?

Smaller ships do less damage, and get more avoidance, and in turn BS get more damage and more hp. Mind blowing I know

and with Front Mission I only played the SNES version on roms, and at one point I wiped out my friend's saved data and still feel like an ass about it 10+ years later. One friend got it for PS2 or something and said it just wasn't the same.

You may need time to de-agress so you can dock or jump a gate too.

I would recommend a.. (thinking for .5 seconds) Battleship!!
