We are dominant due to SAP mechanics.

We are dominant due to the fact that those who could stop us refuse to play in a manner that could risk them not winning.

We will remain dominant because the new players think that having the same exact number of bots as us, and the same bot class as us will create equality in gameplay.

New players that are struggling to beat us will not all of a sudden start winning when they get heavies or get heavies nerfed.  They don't understand the game mechanics, they lack strategy, and they've never fought people on equal ground before mostly due to being allied up to the entire game aside from us.

When a 20 man fleet (and that's on a good day) can dominate the game...theres something wrong with both the players and mechanics.  I mean it takes like two or three of our players to lock down the game world...how sad is that?

Politics wont allow most players to accept suggestions made by us on how to remedy the issue.

Even before the nerfs...you guys could have made a light and assault fleet to wreck our heavies, the possibility existed within the game, however you guys are learning more about forum complaining, political arguing, and begging the developers for help than using your head and playing on our level.  This is why our dominance is secured for the near future.

And yes weve given hand out to help the games corps grow, it resulted in a lot of corps quitting when the handout turned out to be less than a free ticket to pve farming on beta, and the second time resulted in the corps who benefitted becoming cocky about the reasons they owned beta, resulting in it being taken from them.

This patch, and all future patches wont do much, we have people who will have it all figured out before it hits the game while new players will assume that bots are equality on the battle field, and will end up learning as all the ego inflated vet corps who just forum pvp...

Joke was the largest corp during the games steam peak.  There are two active.

PHM was large, and still has decent activity, though not nearly what it once was...and still owns the land in game. Blame leadership.

Literally everything you say regarding this games politics is just accusing others of what you do and what happens to your corp, ive never seen anything like it.

Prepare for Race Drones and his Spanish Inquisition.

So angry towards someone you've had zero interaction with in game.

get a better translator

better to lay out in a coherent manner the issues with the upcoming balance change, in terms of explaining it to the devs, than it is to just lay out a generic 3 point list of stuff with no details.

Anyway once you do start to pvp with your corp, perhaps your outlook on things might change a bit.  Wont know that until you actually do pvp (perhaps you have an alt in another corp who pvps a lot that I don't know, assumed R. was a pve corp due to never seeing them ever in pvp)

While there are some current balance issues, I feel they are slight.

Most bots are very useful and have a set role, some vital to pvp.

I feel a buff to assaults in general would be good.  I think making perhaps heavies more about tank and less about damage is good.

However the current balance seems to neuter a lot of bots sole purpose, makes a few bots incredibly powerful, and overall just shifts the useful bots a bit while at the same time making the vital (and in some cases only) role for a lot of bots non existent.

From what ive heard more bots will become useless and bot will become useful, which imo is a bad move considering more useful bots within a pvp fleet, having a vital role, is more beneficial overall than what is on the plate here with the current changes.

Im wondering if its possible to make blue bots more viable for how pvp is played, while making assaults overall more deadly, making light mechs perhaps fast, fragile, and more long range focused...keeping EWAR as a useful addition without having to spam them....and making heavies just big tanky things....without the need to neuter a whole bunch of specific bots.

I think perhaps the better route would be slight, very fractional changes, over time, to adjust for balance issues, rather than just rewriting the bot functions as a whole in what seems to be a change based not on current gameplay but on some theoretical calculation as to what the bots should do and how they should preform.  On paper things always look different than how it plays out.

I feel the current changes in general are meant to make assaults more the bread and butter of a fleet with DPS, which I want....however does so while neutering the common assault DPS, ignoring the red headed step child of assault dps, and making the other faction the go to dps bot of assaults....that's not balance that's just shifting power.  Top it of with some confusing green bot nerfs that seem to take away their use in almost every scenario....all while buffing an already commonly used heavy without addressing why some of the other heavies were used less.

Anyway.  This seems less about balance and more about shifting usefulness while making some bots that have vital roles in a fleet into something you would only use because you have no other choice due to EP constraints.

You have to think about why some bots are used more than others, and if taking that advantage away, or purpose away, will then render them a bot that will never be used as to have no specific use.

Big reason I want a darkfall style siege mechanic for saps.  Let the players decide on the time and place, give them the ability to prepare, and make the time public to allow for 3rd party interference and merc hiring ect.

Plus its kind of discouraging to make the big effort for a sap just to lower stability a bit.  Would be more enticing to go big if success meant full ownership for a set period of time before the ability to re-siege it.

If I were the devs, I would kidnap coders at gunpoint and stick them in your coding dungeon and crack the whips.

This game can never....ever...be free to play without some sort of game wrecking pay to win mechanic.  Let me explain.

The game goes free to play.  I create as many accounts as my computer can handle.  Lets say I can deal with 15 or 20 accounts at a time.  Ill just put miners on every ore type in the game on alpha all the time.  Now lets talk combat.  Ill make another 10 accounts so I have a character in every station in the game.

But the games free so why stop there?

Ill put a detector on every game in game, on top of every station to see whos where.

You need a paywall to prevent spamming of accounts.
