The Absconditus is a superior ship now. Congrats.

Complete overreaction to bitching by forum trolls.

This e><plains it all.

I have already augged my absentis around the inbuilt bonuses, especially the elec. With the loss of that, my entire setup is fucked. This is typical admin overreaction. If you had properly tested everything first, instead of rushing ahead to release it then going OMGNERF when people started soloing shit with it, there would be no problem. Now, you nerf the ship to where it's weaker than juju, costing me and many other people dozens of bils. I don't mind balancing the class, but could you make sure you get it right the first time, instead of costing us all time and credits every time you decide it isn't perfect?

sooo Sniper is being rode by a midget?

Its a nice credit sink?

So if this goes thru and its ends up worse then it was before thats about 80b of mine gone..

Atleast give it another weapon slot to compensate for the loss of inbuilt stats

i say take the stats to 5% or just leave it with range tracking elec temp at 10%

did any one just rofl and die =P. lucky i didnt spend money on that ship. i think since voomy doesnt give a shit he should change the cost on it and refund every one who has made one haha. but really fail/ mega fail for admins gona be alot of pissed of people. I think lowing them to 10% or just taking the +20% damage and shields away.

This is why I always stay behind the curve...

I only paid about 11b for my Absentis. 9b for plat bars, 2b mission cost and the other commods I think most people have in their storage. To get a Lion it requires a lot more effort than to fly down to an ai base, exchange some commods and then you instantly have a ship. For Lion you need to get a Lion commod which is a rare drop to get or buy for 50b+? Plus you also have to build 3 ada mods which takes time and effort and wait around 2 weeks for the actual Lion Ship build to finish.



Seriously, what the hell? You just described the Absentis only costs 11b and the Lion 5b...that's only 6b difference and that is not "much more expensive" at all...

And did you guys seriously not expect the ship to get a nerf? Even before the patch came in, reading the patch notes it screamed either the class or Absentis would have to get nerfed soon. If more of you people actually went onto test and tested these changes before it went live, we wouldn't all be facing this situation.

It's plain stupid how my Sniper which has only existed for a little over 2 days and I was able to pump out 850k physical damage in 5 secs with an aug setup that costs around 3b and a Zebra Hooves Torpedoe*Forceful.

This is a much needed nerf and the Absentis will still remain an excellent ship with good resists and forget that it has a Re-Router Generator. When a Re-Router tweak is combined with Sniper Analysis 100% = insane dps like a zerk+lion maul.
