If the game had people that would play the game in a decent manner and not exploit everything then it would be fine and totally make sense due to engineers are NOT fighters so any ships that come around and you cant protect yourself from them so push them away but don’t destroy them for hitting asteroids and junk. BUT…
…you know the rest of the story.
Also, the stationary station thingy ma-whatever is lame imo. It is the ultimate Beacon Denial system but still not too hard to destroy. destroying it in a Tai’Kin can be a bit tricky though. So if you put in a ship that literally is Tai’Kins worst nightmare then why keep nerfing it to spaghetti?
I guess the opinions differ here depending on players being frigate captains or interceptor/fighter captains.
Most fun I had was when fighting in my Wazgot and with the Gravi wave module against anothet Wazgot with a Gravi wave, too. Bouncing fun!!!
Really that is great fun. This module is just great!
That may be so, but for frigate pilots this module should be even more upsetting, because also frigates and destroyers are affected by that bullshit. The only difference is, that they can’t just fly away and avoid being smashed into an asteroid.
Simply put; people are abusing this module. It was never intended to go after people and smash them into a wall. Maybe I should make a list of those people and embarrass them in the forum so we all know who to thank.
I love this module the way it is because the issue is over fast and no need to worry about it now but I don’t abuse it. I am healer only and that’s what gets us the win but like I stated, there are people using that only and searching for new ways to press 1 button and get a kill.
You people that are doing that should be deeply ashamed in yourselves.

I have 0 problems if you add me to that list, since i am probably the reason you posted that, however i had expected way earlier that you post something like this,
And yes its that easy to push one button, however if you think that the “intention” of the button press is “always” to collide the enemies than you are wrong, but hey you should know that yourself since you a) fly a Waz too and b) have a gravi equiped too.
Point is yes i crashed 2 ships ( one of em yours) > I noticed a bit later a push so i knew a Waz was around > Crashed you again > Match ended fast > Got “friendly” tells from you and realized you where flying the other Waz.
Fun Fact: none of those times a) was i aware of who and what ships where around me b) in what direction the enemy was from me ( since i didn’t even face anyone during that time) c) I was defending the bomb.

I don’t know wtf you are even talking about right now or let alone who tf you even are but I suggest that if you have an issue with me personally then you keep in that way and not make a fukn public thing of it. And honestly, i’m not one of them that is stupid enough to come around Wuz’Got unless I have to so if you did then it wasn’t enough for me to think it was personal.
Again, if you have something to say to me directly then PM me.
Star Conflict is a competitive PVP game (although it severely lacks teamplay) and people will therefore exploit anything and everything in order to gain an upper hand. This is to be expected, and it is up to the devs to react quickly to fix exploits with hotfixes or at least a patch the week after.
The other solution would be to name it an exploit officially on this forum and ban players that use it. This is the system that Eve online uses for example.
However, in this case determining whether each use of the module as a one-shot killing module by crashing was intentional or not is impossible, since this is the normal use of the module. We can therefore conclude that the module is broken and requires urgent fixing so that this behaviour is removed from the game.
One might also consider my previous thread in which I suggested that all vector-modifying modules should be removed from the game. It started with the ECM keyboard unplugging module, and then destroyer gravi bullshit, and now waz’got gravi bullshit. I’d like to fly my own ship please.
That may be so, but for frigate pilots this module should be even more upsetting, because also frigates and destroyers are affected by that bullshit. The only difference is, that they can’t just fly away and avoid being smashed into an asteroid.
That’s the hole point: I fly the Wazgot extensively (almost exclusively) and now that are more pilot around that fly it in T3/T4/T5 I never was killed by the push of another Wazgot pilot using its Gravy wave.
Conclusion: its a rant based on peronal opinion and personal dislike rather that its a common problem in the first place. Gravi wave is ok and for every Engineer frigate captain its such a great module: breaking beacon denial by destroyers, fending off circling pesky interceptors waiting for their easy kill (into missile hit range!) it is just super great!

Let me just point out that I saw a battle yesterday on Alpha 7 Complex, where in the beacon cavern one Waz’Got repeatedly annihilated whole enemy attack groups with a press of a button.
There’s no way that can be called ok and balanced.
I wonder what those people think that tried smashing me full power into the next wall just to see me use that shield damage to charge the energy converter and one-shot them, they probably think the crew implant or shield mod that prevents shield piercing damage is OP too.
And mostly I use the Grvi wave against attackers coming up to kill me - not the reverse, when I would go after them to get a cheap kill by one key hit…
To me its a reliable defensive measure in PvP, and in PvE it can fend off the bots.
Then you never had a round in abandoned ship complex with 3 WazGot in your spawn that were spamming Gravi-Wave.
… or Waz’got Battle stations ”) ”) ”) No one said the Waz’Got was no challenge (it is killable , though, I asure you)!
monolith remains, domination, 3 frigates and few fighters defend a wile inties switch b and c. wazzzgod sneaks in behind the shitton of cover and pops in the middle of a. gravi wave follows. PENTAKIIIIIILLL on full hp ships. i am sorry that this was not league of legends and i didnt get a screenshot of it … realistically besides ints who would waste a slot for collision compensator??? i think it should keep the push effect but not cause you to crash into objects, even more so with more than 700 ms!!
the gravi wave is more than broken. people now use it to push me within obstacles as well. this keeps happening for the bigger objects like rocks. you cant move out of it and you cant shoot through. only way to get out is to self destruct. also battle station needs to get removed from pvp completely. its insane - it equivalents more than a full player in terms of dps and tank as an advantage. seriously constant laser that never misses WTF! if anything it should have slow projectiles much like the guard drone.
summing up: remove collision from gravi wave(could just replace it with small damage on cast) and remove or change battle station
