oh so tasty...

Overall i thought the drone was good and reasonably hard. The actual boss was hard to do the first few times u do it but after like ur 3rd attempt its quite easy. It needs a beef in shield+regen+dps and the healer drones shud spawn more often.

The galaxy itself is awesome, it's challenging and interesting without resorting to cheap, annoying ways to make it tough. However, having to travel 40+ jumps to get there is rather absurd. EF has only done it once or twice, not because we aren't capable, but because it takes hours to get everyone down there and organized, and by then a person or two has usually logged off, causing more delays while we get new people down, ect. Can we have a subspace going from w0 to the galaxy outside of it, or something?

Also, this is only a temporary problem, but it could still cause issues: Since all the gear is T21 and admins haven't added equip 21/GG21 yet, you can lose your hard-earned boss loot if you die on the way back to storage.

only problem i have is that is another thing battlespheres and slaves are irrelevant for. think the battlesphere needs a major look at cause it's immobility and vulnerability makes it a specialized use ship and for the price of augging and gearing and making it should have more uses.
(can't base assault cause any seer can 1 shot)
(can't pvp since a lvl 500 gunner or anything with an excomm can give you a challenge)
(can't do without massive support any ai that shoots mining like prince for example)
(largely immobile even with sing brake, getting it out of primal lion can be a chore, or even autoing a pain.)

honestly i don't see why it wouldn't play with just taking the mining vulnerability completely out, would it really be that broken? the 100% shield bonus doesn't do it any good at all.

meh, went way off topic, apologies

They may be rather useless vs the drone, but they're just as good as anything else in the actual boss fight. I'm still annoyed over Emp Mother, however. It's pretty much a big "fuck you" to every FC in game.

For Emp Mother, I used my Massif III, geared out with as much shields and elect as possible to support tractoring myself around and for my sub-T20 capship Auras. Survived a long time ducking in and out of the belts.

Yeah, but you need to build an entirely new ship for one boss, and it's not very helpful anyway. You can only give T19 auras, add no damage, and can't tank.

I only have 1 Massif III, and its augged 2 calypso; my transport ship. The T19 aura suck, though, and it was never designed to tank, just mealy stay the hell out of the way.

Red Photon is going in at a more "normal" place for the next uni, and GG21 will be for sale at a couple places.

Thank you. 'nuff said.
