How can I avoid the massive damage boosts in pvp

Rather often I notice a text  in the ship select screen stating “Ship characteristics have been normalized for balanced gameplay” Which just seems a massive damage boost for every single ship and, in my opinion, make the gamemode not fun to play. Is there a way to not encounter this, or at least not have it popup every single damn game?

Lower rank ships in a battle get bonuses to weapon damage and resistances so that they wouldn’t be at a massive disadvantage compared to the higher rank ones. I’m fairly certain that you don’t want to remove this feature.

 

You might be mixing these bonuses with the “survival” game mode where all damage taken is tripled.

so basically if you take an R1 ship in to R15 CTB you are both invincible and a deathray.

I have to admit I didn’t know about survival having triple dmg. I would chalk it as that except I’m pretty sure I’ve had it happen in other modes as well. I hope I’m wrong and I’ve just been an idiot

You can tell if it’s survival by the score markers at the top. The numbers will be surrounded by some symbol as compared to team deathmatch where it’s just numbers. And of course you’ll notice triple damage pretty quickly
