The sniping frigates are far, FAR too OP. Its far too easy to sit in one of them at the back of the field and rack up kills. Its impossible ot get in close because as you approach they shoot you down. There isnt enough cover on the maps to get near them that way. So you either need to add more cover to maps or you need to nerf the crap out of the sniper frigates.
They are not realy op, but they are ruining every game i had in t2.
Sniper dont win matches. If your team has 5 frigs sitting at the start point sniping youre fucked.,
And i tend to get always those teams while the other one has 4 corp mates in cepis rocking the match.
Learn 2 dodge or use cover.
not my video.
I do dodge and use cover, but, still you will get nailed more often than not. So, helpful comments please.
At the end of the day, so many people are using Sniper Frigates its killing the fun. Its not fun when 4 of them are sat out of range and are just hammering anything that moves.
The ancient ruins map is pretty bad for this thanks to the main direction of combat being clear of obstacles, but all the other maps have absolutely plenty of cover to duck in and out of.
People really need to understand that in the fighters and interceptors speed is just as (if not more) important than health. This isn’t maths based WoW style combat…
This thread again…
Play Regular.
Kill them.
So many people spam Arcade games and fight against the same ships over and over. If someone wants to use x3 sniper ships, sure, but most people don’t have three of them. Blow their sniper up. Watch as they lack the skill to actually move a ship around when they are forced to play another one.
seriously could the admin starts closing threads and warning people that was too xxxx to actually just LOOK!!! at the list and see there is already a bounch of thread with this xxxx?=!

There are already threads for this.
Even in the open, snipers are having a hard time hitting me.
You are simply doing something wrong.
Yeah, so basically all the frigate snipers have come on here and basically said learn to play. Nice.
While in T1 i hated them with all my guts, in tier2 they are not more than a mild annoyance.
The jericho frigates are much a bigger threat because they can shoot behind cover. dont cry about the snipers.
Let them camp at their spawn and contribute zero to the map if they want.
That’s coming from a fighter/interceptor pilot.

And you dont have sniper frigates and tell that thing is OP, NICE.
I got Sniper, torpedo frigates, intreceptor and fighter, play all of them and i tell you that snipers are not OP, on higher tiers there are different maps so there is not possible to sit in one place and see 3/4 of the map like in tier 1.
Snipers are not OP, simply players are still newbies (game are young) and dont know that there are asteroids and other debris in space to hide, when i play sniper i see dumb players who fly in open “like a boss” and think (or no think at all) that his ship is so strong that no one will kill him…then sniper shoot and that smart guy write “snipers OP”, other players use covers and it is really hard to even hit that guy even once.
I know snipers and when i in my fighter or intreceptor i know how to behave in battle.
Offtop:
I even see that players QQ about torpedo must be nerfed…hmm, they have torpedos huge like nearly intreceptor so it will be strange if that big torpedo hit like a missile, so c’mon guys let’s not think about own asses, dont want a game to look like xxxx when frigaets cause of QQ got less hp than intreceptor or guided torpedoes hit like smaller missile.
You have problems with snipers/torpedoes, learn to dodge (as a sniper/torpedoes player i tell you that many ppls do this), this things are not OP simply players in SC dont know much at this time.
Thats comming from the frigates/fighter/intreceptor pilot.

They won’t even care:( They want the COD easy win game. How dare they have to work for a win!!
I think a big problem is people jumping back to Tier 1 and sniping.
I know I did it to play with a friend of mine and on a fully-kitted out T1 Hydra I was just whomping up on new players that were flying in straight lines… getting sniped and just continuing down the same path without veering off. It was really too easy to shoot people.
Yeah, so basically all the frigate snipers have come on here and basically said learn to play. Nice.
Interceptors. Try the Empire ones first. They have a 2.5 second warp jump ability. The sniper cannon is really obvious, find the ship by looking for the laser pointer, warp nearby and you can have their shields down before they can even get out of sniper view. Hide underneath them and stick to them like glue and you’ll get the kill.
In T2. snipers and missile frigates are OP. this is why there are so many posts and so much rage…
anti missile system takes out guided missiles with ease its sad I can take out 2 missiles at a time with drones and 1 missile every 10 seconds, the top of the food change right now is a jericho frigates that stacking resist and that isn’t a spawn sniper that knows what they are doing. Just because they have the best stats for hull. Then again its beta and things are in flux so yeah not worried about my fed frigs.
90% of the snipers are so bad and only going for kills which will lose you the match they also have tunnel vision and any fast mover can be on top of them pretty easy. Open the map during a match if you see 4+ snipers on one of the teams that teams losing the nodes/bombs.
They are overpower in T1 so what we talking an hour or two tops then they even out, If you fly head on at a sniper you should be instagib.
Part of the problem I think, is that T1 ships don’t yet have the mobility and speed of higher tiers and modules. There’s this odd thing where, the higher you go in Tiers, the easier it is to laugh at Sniper Frigates. They no longer three-hit you, you get the mobility to dodge those shots. The maps have a lot more cover to use. Late T2, early T3 is the point when Fighters too get fast enough to reliably dodge the shots. On an unupgraded early T1 Fighter, maybe even Interceptor, you’re super easy to kill.
I don’t think it’s too powerful - the second you learn to dodge it, you’re in for free kills AND get to laugh at those guys glued to the spawn as they lose their team the match.
A possible solution, without applying the nerfbat, would be to rework the T1 Maps to include a lot more cover. Especially around the objectives. Because there’s one map, where the objective is all out in the open and I reckon that’s where most of the rage comes from as well.
That’s a really good idea make the T1 maps a lot smaller and a ton of cover would teach them a lot more things about the game and flying.
