Let’s discuss the results of the Big Autumn Survey
Not enough loot for completing that mission XD
Funny how ECM is the least popular ship yet people complain heaps when there is one XD
And I bet some of those suggestions were Koromac ;p
Not enough loot from invasion… What a surprise!
Engineering is people’s favourite ship o.O So why are there so few of them in high tiers?
ECM lolol
And recon, yeah, well I guess people use it like me: they fly it out of necessity rather than enjoyment. They are annoyingly good in beacon games.

Speak by yourself. I LOVE recon ships. In fact they are always in my first hangar slot because no matter which mode I play, I know that if I have to be AFK in the ship selection, nothing can be wrong if I’m in a recon.
The problem is most people don’t like flying interceptors (mostly frigates, what a surprise!) and the few than does, want to fly the carry “unkillable” ship.
ECM are the least favourite ships because as an interceptor are the only ones that cannot carry games, and have no escapes. They are hated because who would like to stare at the screen while you are under stasis for 3 seconds?
I’m amazed at the male/female ratio… where are the gurls!!

^Exacly my thought, and that result also gave me a good laugh.
I actually love to fly Engineer when there are a couple of players that defend me from Interceptors.

Well, the pool was open to everyone, and engineers are really popular in low tiers.
In high tiers everyone knows that engineers are prime targets, so flying them is always a pain in the …
I guess it is time to buff ECM :006j:
I love engineers just a bit less than Covert Ops anyway 
Doomb0t how many participants were there?
Interesting are the demographics, mostly hardcore players (less than once a week is last)
And leaning towards older players (below 16 is really low)
I am a bit surprised over some of the answers, for others, there also show interesting “pro and cons”
like Q44, where “Yes everything is good” and “No, not enough” would not allow a functioning parliament with the 40:35, and the loot i get is not interesting with 23 gives actually the no the majority. I am a bit sad, this question was unified, it would have been interesting to see PvP and PvE in separate questions.
Since, I think, a lot of people in reality are in love with pvp, and loots are okayish.
Large amount of players not playing Special Ops 
I guess it is time to buff ECM :006j:
Very subjective readout
Not liking the ECM is also part of them being already strong enough. It only means, its not favourite, because thats like screaming “I am a coward and love to destroy dogfights”.
In fact, the least 3 liked classes are all often way too present in the game.
Probably which is why people dont like em aswell.
All more reasons to buff ECM
I got quoted in those results at least twice :006j: Since the commentary questions are anonymous, I’d like to see a bunch more of them. That’s up to you all. I’m just saying I’m interested.
Thanks to all participants. A promised reward will be delivered to following pilots:

lol. i never expected that and just did the survey to help/for the fun factor. thank you :004j: i may have missed it but what did i win? :006j:
19% for Engineers and 17% for Tackler? That’s really high.
What is showing the Ingame role’s distribution Stats compared to the survey?

Well the figure for tacklers is understabable ^^ It’ a shame most people aren’t flying them in useful ways

98% to 2% brings me great despair. I feel lonely and not lonely all at the same time.

Mainly a consequence of the Balance right now.
Engineers have the biggest Tools Kit : Mobility (Warp Gate) / All Ressources Regeneration (Hull, Shield, Energy) under differents forms (Aura and Station) / Close Combat defense (Special Module) / Self Regen / Burst Regen / Weapon in adequation of its mechanics (Eclipse Launcher) and the best defensive module in the game : Static Barrier.
Tackler have the same possibilities : Drones, Furtivity, Debuff ( Mobility / Tanking) / Weapons snowballing extremly well with the Tackler’s Kit.
Guards/Commands/CovertOps have Strong Kits but following what they are supposed to do.
Gunships also have strong kits but more limited than Commands/Tacklers
LRF players clearly feared a nerf if they were saying they were loving it too much.
Recon and ECM have really Specifics Kits linked to their designs but Players always want to use them differently of their primary purposes.
Without the Statistiques from the true situation ingame, it’s hard to see the truth.
About question #11… Kudos to the 4% for being honest. Seriously, I wish more people could estimate their usefulness to the team well enough to notice they need some guidance. Most of the 0.7 win/loss ratio Aces actually blame it on their teams all the time.
Speaking of which, a suggestion that I made within the survey - any chance you could introduce a system that would direct those less skilled of us to some guides? Be they forum guides, Igromania videos or a scheduled talk (yup, I said it) with an experienced pilot willing to help that would give them a hand. I’d sign up for it.

Don’t despair, it is not that bad. 2% is only the percentage of people answering the survey, not those in-game.
