Re: Speed Gap between EWAR lights and other light Bots >37.5%. Unbalanced
I gave the current balancing changes a chance to observe if EWAR lights are balanced better against other types of bots. But no, the SPEED GAP is still far far too huge.
37.5% faster than next faster bot type is OK??
Speed of Intakt with Nav 10 demob t4 lwf and t4 light lasers = 110kph+
Speed of Castel with Nav 10 demob t4 lwf and t4 light missile launchers = 80kphNOT 10% faster. No problem with that.
Not 20% faster. May be acceptable.
Not 30% faster. 30% is already ridiculously overpowered.
>37.5% faster. Utterly overpowered. This is 37.5% faster than the next fastest class and >100% faster than mechs and heavy mechs!
This is immense overpoweredness of a single bot class instead of making more classes viable.
This is not a small imbalance, or a minor problem. This is a huge imbalance totally distorting everything in PVP.While in stEVE there are interceptors, assault frigates, heavy assault cruisers, cruisers all being used for roaming, in Perpetuum there is only one single class. EWAR lights.
EWAR light online will not hold the interest of subscribers and draw people to the game.
How boring, one class of bots and nothing else.The reason is so obvious. >37.5% faster.
With that ridiculous speed advantage why would anyone use anything else for roaming?
Roaming is >90% of PVP in Perpetuum so better make more than one class viable for that.
Reduce the speed gap to 20% faster and people may actually use other bots.
Why are you comparing an intakt to a castel?
You should look at the troiar to castel speed difference...
