THANK YOU

You can make your drones work as healer, but only if you are the person being attacked. I have 80-85% resists to all damage types, if I put down 4 Armada Charge Drones, 1 Bubble Drone and 1 Sup Protection Drone, with Sup Shield Controller, and use a Poseidon Shield Transference to heal one of the charges, then you need a lot of DPS to break the healing they put out. Enough of that for now.

BFDs are something I use as indicators mainly for spotting low vis ships, or ships hiding far away. There is no real DPS in BFDs. And there will never be.

The only time I use BFDs as DPS drones, is when I do James Watt, or fight ships that have 0% resists to energy, which is starting to get more and more seldom these days, due to T21 ships.

So I think BFDs are fine having their torpedoes nerfed. If you want me to point out a thing, I can point at when I fought 3 Panther Speed Demons at once, back in my Rhino. Due to having 1 Charge, 4 BFDs and 1 Grembox, they wouldn't dare to come close, and I would win, because BFDs had the same tracking as a MagCannon on a 4 Hera+ auged LF, maybe even better. They would hit a target at any range, unless it moved at 700 speed with insane agility and a PWI. If you think that was perfectly fine, then maybe you should start to learn how to force people into flying in the line of your new, changed BFDs. It is possible, just takes some skill and knowledge.

My BFDs can kill MF Reavers and other AI, please beef them.

+1

Since when is being able to kill meavers a decent measure of anything? I can make a level 500 character that can kill them for under 2b, they're piss weak.

Anyway, what I would like to see is a speed increase on the third stage of torpedo movement. If, after the torpedo finished the aiming phase, it could quickly (in a fraction of a second) speed up to maybe 2x the travel speed during aiming phase, it would be much more useful. Also, certain weapons such as Delayed Blast Hunleyite and Lion V2 should really have their own category, they're quite useless with the new code.

Yeah, I was thinking of just increasing the burn time a bit on all torpedoes which will give them a bit more aiming, but more importantly, a higher top speed.

barely noticed change on my chars except now i cant afk on facebook when in oly because ai might start running over my thoraxes.

Agreed on the V2 rocket; the way it works makes it prohibitive to work any other way.

As for other torpedos...I actually like them better this way, kinda. Sure, it's a nerf, but its honestly a lot cooler this way.

As for engineers...Omg, you cant do full DPS at obscene range and with undodgable tracking anymore! Terror!
