I'm sorry, but if you just think about the typical base combat, you'll see that 50% is really no different from 0%...

If the base has any form of bullet weapons its easy to dodge as seer though the only problem is pure beam bases

Q= Question/Opinion Stated
A= My answer to such said statement.
============================================================================

Q1:

A1:Very Very OP. It couldn't possible be balanced.

============================================================================
Q2:

A2:

============================================================================

Q3:

A3: With an average speed of 130-165, dodging/reaction time is impossible, even with pulse weapons. Only takes an average of 2-4 shots to kill a seer. 2 shots being an eclipse, 4 being a bsheath. Also might I add that a good % of kits are beam only.

============================================================================

Q4:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A4 Part 1:

No class should be able to see a class that isn't intending to be visible. [Shooting for example, or tractoring]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A4 Part 2:

Your absolutely right. Seers will never beat a prepared an Engineer under any reasonable situation. The suggestion is only intended for the freedom of movement/recon such as pinging or using an engine to the full extent needed. Also, for reasons stated above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A4 Part 3:

As stated in the thesis, the nature of damage from 1 class to another is the complete opposite [In common cases]. DPS and DPH and seer is what comes on top. Furthermore, this weapon prevents that and defeats the purpose of balance. In conclusion, Snipers should always have a disadvantage.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A4 Part 4:

Agreed. But lets face it, it wont happen. But, then again, its all up the admins isn't it? If we have a healthy discussion, whatever they see fit should be in alignment with reason.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A4: Part 5:

A4: This is by far the best reason I wrote this paper. If any code like this is added, it should be in the 80-90% range. Given that there are countless RoF setups out there. Also, SDs have the tendency to use this cc the most.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A5 Part 6:

Couldn't agree more. In fact, this is most likely going to be the kicker! Since 90% of any weapon shot at a seer for cc use is a beam! You've done it my good sir! I will work on tweaking the topic.

============================================================================

This isn't possible... At all.



You obviously haven't been to Hermes, he is low vis and the Argeiphontes Hermes is a Light Fighter. In fact, when I made Hermes, I was thinking of Seer most of the time.

I don't think BFD radars have been changed since Klestiko was around, just people saw their potential since then. Likewise, I have a feeling Collision Code has been in since before he 'left' too.

What i said was not a question. Its a statement based on my experience in BvB as seer. I can outrun just about any pulse weapon there is with a big of smart thinking and preparations, the only problem are lasers.

P1:What about making the weapon AI only as it was intended to be? Is that codeable?

Just an idea. Turn it into a nanite wep. Make it give 3 nanites. 1 for HF, Capship and Freighter, all the same stats as the wep. Solved?

P2: BFDs didn't change, drone controllers were added before Kles was around. Also drone ops augs. So basically before engis had much power of any sort.

DC is also quite stealthy

Iirc Primal phanter might be a LF

And dident Kles leave after both BFD and Drone ops augs?

I think it would be easier to make those bosses heavy fighters, with the same exact stats. Seems more reasonable than throwing an idea away.

Easiest solution would be to up the recoil on spotty beam massively, to like 30 seconds. Problem solved? Also, Ares' mini-bosses are both stealthy and LF. And DC is actually pretty low vis inherently.

It's because even to date your are still know as that Indestructible, Terrorizing Seer from long ago.
