it was super exciting. and super interesting. and super all the way.
Buy a frigate…
… they have support groups for anger and anxiety issues…

LMFAO
Thanks for the laugh man :lol:
Wall of engies is huge pain in the xxxx. It’s not like they’re hurting for damage, or survivability, especially if they’re hydra 2’s

I don’t like flying frigs. i simply don’t find them fun to fly.

heh, good one, but i’m way past the anger.

Yah, it’s the survivability. unless you actually have 8 people on voice comms you can not possibly concentrate fire enough to take one down before it hides…
it’s WoT and artys all over again.
Not that i told that it’ll get like that over month ago…
Except Frigates you can see and shoot down.
Not hearing me, mate. you need combined firepower of 8 people to take down a guard frig before it ducks. And that ain’t happening unless you have 8 ppl playing togeather, coordinating. Not 4, not enough. And i haven’t factored in healing auras.
But 'tis ok, whatever.

No you don’t, dude. Maybe once in a blue moon when all the stars are aligned, there’s a T4 Engineer nearby with Mk III regen mods, a Command ship nearby buffing his resists, the Guard frigate is stacking shield and hull passive resists and his shield is attuned to your damage type, then maybe it might require 3-4 people focusing on him to kill him in a reasonable amount of time, but that’s just stupidity on your part because you should be going after the Engineer and Command ship in those situations rather than wasting your time chipping away at their main tank. In the majority of situations, a Guard frigate goes down almost as fast as anything else with 2 people on him.
If you’re having a hard time with frigates in Star Conflict, I don’t know what to tell you. They’re slow as molasses in January and the size of barns. They’re impossible to miss and your survivable in one on the front line is measured in seconds if you don’t have a good team backing you up. What pisses me the hell off in PvP are good Interceptor pilots which are all but impossible to hit if you arent using lasers and pop Adaptive Camo as soon as you get them near death only to come back 10 seconds later with full shields and hull to harass you to death.
wow, you’re taking this personally… obvious frig pilot, and that’s all cool and dandy.
But you’re not reading: there was not enough dps to kill it UNTILL THE FRIG DIPS BACK BEHIND THE ROCK. you know… peek out, shoot, hide…
Your statement about 2 ppl taking down a guard frig is pure bullsh*t, sorry.
Also, do try to hop into an inty and charge anywhere near a wall of frigs… (hint: pulsars and slowing auras)
And that must have been one hell of a blue moon yesterday, since i had the same f*cking thing happened in 4 consecutive matches.
wall of frigs.
damn you’re mad at me for some reason…
Wall of Frigs
sounds like a great clan name lol

Your Interceptor can’t take out a Guard frigate solo? Holy sh*t, call the President of Gaming!
Have you perhaps stopped to consider that the reason you’re having such difficulty is because you’re not playing to your strengths? Not every ship is good at taking out every other ship, and a Guard frigate is pretty much built from the ground up to deconstruct the advantages of Interceptors and take them out. But go ahead and keep throwing yourself into the grinder and then complaining on the forums about how you’re not having success doing the same failed tactic again and again.
I take down plenty of frigates solo, including Guard frigates in my Gunships and Tacklers, so no, it’s not bullshit, sorry. And I have yet to see a “wall of frigs” as you put it in any game in the entire month and a half I’ve been playing, so pardon if I think you’re exaggerating just ever so slightly.
Its obvious op that the game needs more spontaneous team work. I know I know pipe dream but hey…

you’re the one who said how you hate intys in your frig. all i said is intys die instantly, i stopped flying them after the role shuffle.
regarding the rest… holy f*ck what game are you playing?

i know, team work and concentrated fire > all, but the problem is that optimal effects are achieved only with frigs

Yes, my Engineer frigate. My Guard frigate eats Interceptors for breakfast. Mass Propulsion Inhibitor + Pulsar + Minefield + 4X lasers to your face = you’re gonna have a bad time.
Recently I’ve been taking my recon intercept, gunship, and engi frigate into games.
70% of the time I want my engi frigate for multiple reasons.
-
Much harder to kill
-
Free healing assists
-
Long range lasers are nice to snag damage assists/kills
-
Good array of missles
Really the only reason why I bother taking my interceptor is if it’s a mission with a captain that I need to adaptive camo in and try and kill. I can take my gunship for the lulz-damage on enemy frigates, but unless we’re clearly winning there’s no reason to take a gunship, ever.
Right now the game is just annoying because the balance is so broken. Frigates are very strong, healing is just plain stupid.

Yes, now clump 3 of each into a ball of thermal pain and try to take them down…

You’re lucky, mate, that you find frigs fun to fly.
I simply don’t, so i stopped playing all together (i log on daily for free money and maybe one game for daily double loyalty…)

Actually I don’t. I fly them because they’re OP and I can rack up kills/assists. I much prefer interceptors. Before 0.8 I would run an empire interceptor with Covert Ops modules. It was the best. Now I just fly federation Intercepts/Frigs because they’re stupidly overpowered. I always hated enemy Swift/Hawks because a proper pilot could screw up all my shots because they’re so fast. Now I do the same thing just because I can. Dvergr/Dwarf is way slower, less energy. Swifts/Hawks don’t have near those problems.
I find lasers as pretty lame. However, with a frigate’s power they’re really quite good, and it’s not like you’re moving, you have to be more precise with them.
Most of the 0.8 patch just made roles that are hard to play and be good at twice as hard, and the easy roles twice as easy to play. Why struggle getting 1.5k efficiency points with an intercept when I can rack up 2k points with an engi frig?
meh, i never got over the inty dynamics before 0.8.0
RIP my ricasso made of awesomness
Also, i see what you’re saying, i guess i’d do it if i wasn’t stuck with xxxx fed frigs…
@Intricate:
here mate, see how wrong i am:[http://forum.star-conflict.com/index.php?/topic/19405-healing-is-overpowered/](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/19405-healing-is-overpowered/)
look at that fkn vid. now multiply that with, like, 8.
See?
Well my small observation is I dont play this game anymore, and I dont care TBH. There will be other awesome space games, that wont make these mistakes and stomp all over this one in no time… fanbois will disagree but the game is dead now, its just a matter of time (usually takes a year to completely shut down).
Ppl that left because of the patch wont come back even if things got rolled back, these kind of things leave a bad taste and we are animals of habit.
