Pilot Archive

1 shot draining the cap? come on, be real. Even if you had an L2 cap with 900 energy capacity with a gun with 36 energy per shot you have 25 shots before your caps drained. Seriously, you can't dodge a head on engagement, even with EO4, you need some more practice.

One more thing i didnt realize until now, is all those cheesy pilot skills no one ever uses like: pump reactor, emergency weapons, repair and replinish, emergency shields, all of a sudden seem to have more practial use without overloads in the picture.

But like i said, this is all conjecture. Even if i do have some valid points ( and i think i do), i dont expect people to concde them. Having your cake and being able to eat it to is hard to give up.

space combat should feel fast, not slow

That i agree with. I loath the idea of slow gameplay. All im saying is that the problems people complain about, i think could be caused by droid commands. Most PvP and space cases i know really dont want to see damage reduced for many reasons, myself included. (which is why i also mentioned EWS as an alternative)

Personnaly i think the current iteration of droid commands take out of the game, more than what they put into it. The only good thing about them is it makes flying more of a "hands free" affair. Theres alot you don't have to do because of them. Which makes the game easier, but it also removes some of the challenge.

The tools are broken. Well.... I take that back, i think that depends on your point of view of droid commands.

What should they be?

the Doc buffs of space? or a system of ship operation?

I may not like it, but ill concede that they're here to stay. Fixing WO3 is a given, But i really think they're should be a decision as to which ones you run concurrently. Here's an idea that will get alot of ppl hating me... What id you had to choose between EO and WO, but couldnt run both at once? In action making the player choose between speed or firepower. How do you think that would work out?

>>pvp zones that last idea (w or e) might be interesting but in any other pve fights

Thats a big problem with toying around with droid commands. you have to find a system that will worth for both.

>>already fast ships would go with the weapons and slow ships would go for speed

Nah, id drop my T/I and go back to a T/A and go with EO3 still.

twin L7' blasters
1 blaster = 3000 * 6 = 1800 * .75 =1350
1350 * 2 guns = 2700 damage.


Assuming bandit has an RE'd L8 shield is 2555 F/B. First hit and im already into the armor. 2nd hit im into the systems for sure. Any lesser shield and i still eat him for lunch.

I do, i think their cheese on a stick (but thats obvious)

1. In every PvP damage reduction beg thread, you and I are on the same side against it. One of our main arguments is that current PvP is skill over equipment. Justify for me how you can advocate a change that would seemingly make equipment more important? I'm not trying to call you out, I just want to point out this inconsistency in your statements and get your take on it.


2. Also please address the fact that this would raise the bar for the new PvP entrant (in my mind). Where do we draw the line? I prefer skill over gear, in most encounters, but I'm not opposed to rewarding hard work and good crafting either. Straight out removal of overloads seems like it would push an "I win" button in too many cases...


3. Can you give a fair shake to the idea of fixing existing programs, implementing fair costs, and restricting free and easy access cross faction? Why do you feel thats less valid than reviving the E/W/S system? I myself would prefer to fix what's there if possible, and I want you to convince me its impossible to fix.
