Hull strength reduced by 13%.
Shield strength reduced by 13%.

We would like to emphasize that the above are the main changes. In addition, several ships have also seen other changes in their characteristics like maneuverability and resistance to damage.

wow, thanks this is really helpful,

4157777 · April 22, 2013, 7:40am

Why reduce all of the ships hull/shield strength? And some of them have reduced speed… :facepalm:

1911762 · April 22, 2013, 7:46am

cannot wait to see a new world!!!

rakza · April 22, 2013, 7:48am

Cause they want more strategy and less Rambo mode?

Some fighterz were more tanky than some friggs with better mobility.

I can’t wait to retry my Jericho Support Now ;D

4157777 · April 22, 2013, 7:55am

Thank god my dear Nukem I retains Overdrive. I’d have been so mad if it didn’t.

Also how are the ship bonuses? Is it the same or will those be changed around? (Hope not.)

Fox-M :

Ship receives the role ‘Tackler’.
Ship receives special role module ‘ODG “Chameleon”’.
Hull strength reduced by 14%.
Shield strength reduced by 14%.

eeeh the ship is xxxx and it still get nerfed? GJ

3085275 · April 22, 2013, 8:52am

Changes are so… random.

1095138 · April 22, 2013, 8:54am

Umm, maybe I skipped this part somewhere along the lines, but from now on there won’t be faction specific special modules? For example I cant have Armada Combat Drones with an integrated Missile Shield anymore?..

I’ll really miss these faction-specific extras from the special modules, I hope they will be reintroduced some day… How about making special modules replaceable on ships, with modified modules of the very same type? E.g: X ship could only have combat drones, but if you have enough rank with a given faction you can upgrade those combat drones to Armada/Vanguard variants?!

Or how about simply giving us the option to pick a modified special module once the ship reaches maximum Synergy level?

"Tackler

The objective is to find and destroy enemy Recon and Covert Ops ships. Using invisibility, tacklers can secretly install mines in the most dangerous zones. Their high speed will enable them to intercept Recon and Covert Ops ships. Active modules will reduce the enemy’s speed and temporarily weaken their shields and armour."

Well, hight speed and stealth is the strong of this ship, this is the meaning of the hull/shield nerf

" Eagle-M :

Ship keeps the role ‘Gunship’.
Ship receives special role module ‘Plasma web’.
Hull strength reduced by 34%.
Shield strength reduced by 34%."

But it is a interceptor not a fighter :dntknw:

3043699 · April 22, 2013, 9:03am

Whoo, Fed frigs can now go face to face against Empire Frigs by the look of buff. I Like it!

"Tackler

spydrone, and tackler can cry in corner for 2 min.

Frigates gets ecm now ?

Werent they OP enough already?

edit :I guess that was a typo in changes.

Seems to be fixed now.

1914000 · April 22, 2013, 9:50am

Fix bugs in ship chages.

4255773 · April 22, 2013, 9:52am

Love watching people moan about OP frigates - I play frigate, and against a good pilot, they are just as weak as everything else.

Still a little confused (AND ANNOYED MY BELOVED 'GATOR IS MOVED TO TIER 3 -.- ) but i’ll work it out when I get ingame

Fix bugs in ship chages.

Phew. That’s much better. That previous list was a little crazy.

Liking the new list. Each faction has 2/3 of the roles available, so you get benefit from cross-training, and some factions have differences in specials (empire long range has the disintegrator while jericho long range has the torpedo), which is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to see.

Distilled version with general patterns:

Long Range frigates: Empire (Disintegrator) and Jericho (Torpedo)

Engineering frigates: Empire and Federation (Combat Drones)

Guard Frigates: Federation and Jericho (Phase Shield)

Command fighters: Empire and Jericho (Diffusion Shield)

Gunships: Empire and Federation (Overdrive)

Tackler: Federation and Jericho (Cloak)

ECM interceptors: Empire and Jericho (Tachyon Coccoon)

Recon interceptors: Empire and Federation (MWD)

Covert ops interceptors: Federation and Jericho (Plasma Web)

I play all classes and i say a good frigate pilot is unkillable by any means in a equally geared match up against any class in 1v1 even 1vs2.

If you put your ego away (you havent even fly a tier3 frigate yet make a comment about their power ) i might even consider showing you how.

However this isnt the place to argue their efficieny so i ll not reply to any counter argument about it.
