Change Captain Boost

Hey! So today, i found out why captains should not have 75% firepower boost. I played in my spark gunship which has 3500+ dps and 27% crit chance. plus 75% boost means 6125+ dps not counting crit. add on another 20% boost for each time i kill someone makes a whopping 7350 dps not counting critical chance. I then activate my module to make 63.3% chance crit. i get 110% boost for crit which gives me a whopping 12000+ damage per second. This is truly rediculous and i melted the other captain’s Fed guard frigate in less than 5 seconds with my missiles too. I didn’t even have to use particle purge. 

 

I move that captains have a 25% boost in firepower and a 20 point resistance boost and a 10% boost in speed and agility. 

I wouldn’t worry about it ArcTic.

 

Most pilots aren’t super OP Fed guard frigate melting no-scopers like yourself.

 

Maybe there should be a damage bonus reduction - but only on your ships, because you are so devastating.

The 75% damage boost is fine. Gunship is a ship designed for max DPS, but at the cost of maneuverability and speed. Part of being captain is being able to evade attacks as well as rely on the support of your team. Gunship as cap does not make you a one-man army. Gunships are still easily taken down by covert ops or ECMs.

I think it’s fair.

It’s fine as is. It encourages a captain to be UP IN THE FRONT CONTRIBUTING DAMAGE rather than sitting in the back doing nothing.

math, not even once… that is not hwo DMG stacks

fed014.png If you car reach the enemy guard cap with a spark and you can kill it the real problem is the enemy team not the cap bonus. The bonus is fine as it is.

the bonus is fine as it is - so real

Bonus is fine as it is. This probably only happened because of a small t5 match where the enemy team were clueless

*sigh*

 

nobody thinks it’s op that a single ship can take out the entire 3 man enemy team by himself!?!?!?!? Am i missing something???

You forget that the enemy team you are taking out is probably all n00bs and/or tier-rushers. Try single-handedly taking out a 3-man team made up of the top corps (ESB, Nova, WPK, NASA, OWL, etc.)

 

Just because it worked once doesn’t mean it will work every time, or even the majority of the time.

Top corps = WPK and ESB :slight_smile:

 

they weren’t very good but they were half decent.

Let’s ignore Owls ok, you are sayin’ that Nova, Nasa, SRS (DNO since not long ago) are “half decent”? 

Go to the corner, face to the wall for at least 3 days.

When ArcTic said “they weren’t very good but they were half decent” he was talking about the opposing team:

I love quote battles. Sometimes it’s like using quotes out of context like Cristendom priests and the Bible.

Ops. My bad ^^’

The captain should be motivated to act in battle instead of hiding behind the team. A few different bonuses have been tested with the result that the current bonus is the most effective.

Half decent by who’s standards?

 

btw

most captains stay in their spawn or behind it… so the bonus isn’t a problem
