-
Removes the ability to deal damage
-
Slows whomever you are targeting as well as the fastest moving enemy
-
Your target’s speed is reduced by 5-7% while the other enemy’s speed is reduced by 3%
-
1800 meter radius range
-
Requires LOS and a 1 second lock-on; Breaking LOS requires another lock-on
-
When slowing an enemy the HGD emits a bright orange, electric beam
-
Slows from other HGD do not stack on the same enemy.
No. If you want to slow stuff in a tackler do it yourself. You have 2 modules and one main weapon to do that. What this game doesn’t need is more auto aim stuff.
Tractor Beam mine from STO, much.
Would be useless if it autoaim fastest target, so it would slowdown tacklers, overdrive gunships instead of inties. Also slowed down target will kill drone even faster.

I don’t know what I was thinking man. I’m sorry. I just thought this was better and more balanced than an autoaim 4000 EM shot. I just thought that it fit the tackler role more. I’m so sorry, so sorry…

Why are you contradicting yourself?
Because Non-Cruise using fighters are faster than interceptors 100% of the time.
Cruise fighters are more affected.
Debuff != Useless
Who kills drones in the heat of battle?
You are so smart.
Who kills drones in the heat of battle?
Anyone who wants to win the fight. Currently most tacklers just poop drones and run away, so you can kill the drones easy, and then wait for him to try to kill you. But since they don’t have any slowing module, they are free kills.
I would say meh
Too much slow is too much slow Just with the slowing beams I lose almost 40% of my speed sometimes in frigates! Imagine with this thing slowing me also
I am a Usain Bolt tackler. What I have noticed is that people ditch the drones and try to kill me instead.
If you destroy the tackler you destroy the drones. I really don’t see your point if there is even a legitimate one to begin with.

Doing engine suppressor with the new HGD means that you miss something good. Like the sentry, a multipurpose or a target painter.
Let me remind you guys that this has a cooldown and has energy consumption.
just add the big drone weapon spread back, makes 2 drone poops less useful, while keeping the big drones for bigger targets

For me that is just a nerf and not a gameplay improvement. I thought they improved projectile speed not spread.
Why am I defending this idea so fiercely?
they removed the spread among other stuff.
before that change, dropping two drones and gtfo made less sense, while heavy drones were still useful if you stayed around them and tackled the targets.
so imho they overbuffed it anyway.

Usually the tackler n00b (or usain bolt as you call it) poops two drones and run away/cloaks. So you can just kill the drones and worry about some other stuff, since the tackler guy will just retreat, wait for the drones to recharge and poop them in other beacon.
In case the tackler stay to fight, it is easy to kill them before the drones make more than 2 shots.
Tacklers already excel at debuffing speed. They do not need another way to do this; they will just get stronger. And they’re actually pretty good ships at the moment, so no…not a great idea imo.
You know the best fix for the heavy guard drone?
Remove it entirely. It is such a pointless module that wastes an active module slot for your tackler. Use slows like a real tackler pilot.
remove the heavy guard drone from tackler, put in on a gunship.
The purpose of a tackler is to hunt and kill interceptors, how do you do that with a slow heavy guard drone. only sentry-drone is capable of doing just that
The purpose of a gunship is to hunt down fighters and frigates, there the heavy guard drone is usefull.
tackler = Light fighter, sentry-drone = light drone
gunship = Heavy fighter, Guard drone = Heavy drone
Does this make any sense
