GOOD LORD!!!!!

The new POB parts make the POB ships fun to use in space again. Earlier today we made all the Elite Comps to complete a Y-8 Loadout. We took it on a test run out in Kessel to get all the Gunners and the pilot used to its handling and fighting style. We took damage several to armor our while in kessel while getting used to it. However when we got to Deepspace we we're surrounded by fighters. I'd say on a whole the crew did an amazing job selecting targets and eradicating our nearby threats. Shortly there after we took out the ISD and then three more times for good measure.


The Y-8 is an exceptional war machine. We did not, however, have a chance to go head to head with any player fighters though we were hoping for the chance.


Later that night we took up the YT-1300 and again started in kessel. We were taking out fighters with ease. The vette spawned. Being ballsy we decided to take it on over and see what we could do.8 protons and countless shots later there was no more vette. So figuring the Vette was just the tip of the iceberg we again went to DS. Took down the ISD 3 times and this time had a run in with a player. We took two hard shots off his interceptor then sent him on a one way trip back to naboo. I assume if we had been hit one more time we'd have been ripped a new one.


In the end I'm just exceptionally pleased with this publish. I didn't expect the POB ships to be nearly as effective as they are now. one good crew of four on a YT, Nova or Decimator should be plenty to make it effective in PvE and PvP. I'm not sure how everyone else felt about it but I am pleased with what they did.

A bit noobish question:


I have no idea what the elite parts are. How do I recognize them in the vendor search at the bazaar?


I noticed that the Null Bolt had a (POB) after it. But I didn't really find anything else.

They're all called "Elite" most have "(POB only)" in them but I've been taking that out

Ok, no fair! My server stinks! I waited around all day yesterday and looked through the vendor lists for POB ship parts, sending tells to every shipwright I could find *whimper* nothing yet. Not even numbers.


Anyone have any stats for average new POB parts?

from the Shipwright forum, when this patch was on TC, so the finals might be a bit different:


Elite Components:



Armour:


Key stats: Armour HP 7.7k front/back


Booster:


Key stats: 58.9 speed 56.6 accel 1715 energy 159 consumption.


Capacitor (Elite one detailed here, Y-8 hasn't been changed and is therefore junk so not detailed):


Key stats: 3.2k energy 69.8 recharge


Engine:


Key stats (with 6pt speed 3pt each YPR): Speed 127.5 71.1 YPR
(In the Y-8 that came to 1k top speed 1.4k with booster)


Reactor (again Elite detailed here as Y-8 hasn't been changed)


Key stat: Energy Generation 39,486


Shields


Key stats: Shield HP 9.7k Front/back 16.48 recharge (experiment 5pt each HP)


Null Bolt Blaster


Key stats: 3.2k min damage 5.4k max damage 0.54 vs Shields/Armour 0.26 refire (w Mk5 Quick shot upgrade)


there are two other elite guns, one vs armor the other shields, but they didn't list stats

Well I must say I'm pleased. In all my pvp experience, this has opened up somthing new. Killing an Elite part equipped POB with my A-wing takes so long vs. a good crew it is actually funny.


Fun fun fun

My only Gripe with the upgrades is when after the booster is used up and you are slowing back to normal speed at the very second you would resume top speed the ship stops to dead halt at 0. and then begins to slowly accelerate again.


Also during the deceleration after the boost the ship's control axis seem to change. Right is left and left is right and my down actually pitches down and my up actually pitches up instead of the other way around.


I doubt either is intended and I haven't thoroughly tested this yet to see if it is for all boosters on a yt-1300 or for all boosters on a POB ship and whether or not its just the POB booster. If anyone else has noticed this effect at all please let me know.

I'm anxious to get some of the components and slap them into my Nova Cruiser. Should be awsome.

Gonna have to do some serious mining tomorrow...
