As do I, I could go a step farther and say that all the gamma island could become "beta" by adding in a termail to them, 1 or 2.  Clean stuff up, provides more space, and expands the game over all.

This would sell.  Much.

Your So ***'d Cass.

In that case.

It just works perfect, while adding in the necessary balance.

Would rebalance tuners as well.

They still needed nerfed, not LOS.

It doesn't make sense to have LOS with them. 

Successful Troll Is successful!

Actually the best way to do this would be adding in racial ECM's.  With Multi Factions at lower rates.

Tuners still need balanced correctly.  ( Really in favor of Stacking Penalty for everything would fix alot of issues.)
They do need a small nerf, not crazy hack and slash crazy stuff.

But my small nerf and your small nerf might be reality vs crazy.  Who Knows.

Another Fight where teles would of done nothing!

Shocking!

To reiterate what the problem is.

Everyone having the ability to jump and and out of PVP = Fair.

Having Defenders ONLY having the ability to jump INTO PVP = No So Much Balance.

Fix.

Well, Fix armored actually.  Lower HP, increase Timer. Fixed.

So much hate, makes me feel really good on the inside.

Fits are not new, same old speed kills, range kills.

This has been beaten before, even with Tele's. 

But there is so much political BS I would hope it wouldn't be too difficult to pick out what is what.

This isn't anything new, we had this back when, when sides were equal more or less.

In your scenario, your flagged, the other parties now have a window to kill you, more so your just moving your fleet faster through teles, yet the chance of killing remains. 

With this change is swings everything back into the defenders hands, with or with out blob.  The defender can also proxy where with in one island and still have ample time to kill. 

Your frustrations actually shows how successful simple hit and run tactics can be when a smaller for attacks a larger force.  The simple counter to this is easy.  Ask your 62nd guys, they would fight and kill us, (CIR, RG, Morte) all the time in US TZ using simple agile tactics.  I fear most of them will show little recollection of true events due to a scewed political reference.

You deal with this in preparations, anticipate, and deploy. 

Before everyone was on a equal playing ground.  All could use teles to navigate to attack, and defend.  Now it has moved to a full defense.  Detect, Deploy Tele, Kill.    Yes there are ways around this, but I dont wish to give up all my secrets in one post.

The problem, and yes there is a problem, as PHM, Chaos, 62nd, when they were getting there *** kicked how useful Armors were when they needed them, only is with armors.  Meaning the inability to apply ample DPS to stop a fleet from jumping out. (I use the term fleet VERY loosly as the recharge time on Armors is terrible, and a fleet would only get out small amounts before the bots are dead anyway.)

Its actually quite funny you make my case of how much power defenders really have when utilizing teles on islands.   All that is needed is, wait for someone to come on island, drop tele, spot, kill.

Removing the balance of both sides having equal opportunity to move around isn't much of a balance at all.  Its short sighted at best.  Even more so with PVP timers, and PVP on alpha's. 

Two Fixes.
Remove Tele's on Betas (People will go nuts over this)
OR
Increase coolup time, and jump timers for armors. (Cost to 1.5Mill - Well over 4 Light Bots)  Decrease Masking Value.  Tweak Armor Value. 

I would hope we would go from nerfing, to Balancing.

Hehe, this is quite funny.

How should we be playing the game again?

Yea this...Really?

I can only count to 10, must not be me.  Followed by flailing hands screaming reset the server.

Issue to address. API security.  That is all. Move along.
