“common sense”
What’s that?

You can’t use italics on some, if not all, mobile devices. Maybe single quotation mark thingies. ’ ’
What is common sense? Is it a sauce I can pour on sweet rolls?

Helvetica. The font you are looking for is ‘Helvetica’.

my fav
players are OP not ships
Players can’t be OP in UP ships…
gunships, tacklers, anything at 4k+ range. They are only strong when you get up close to them
Well same can be said about any interceptor. Interceptors are close-range fighters and any interceptor can be dangerous up close, ECMs especially so. I was talking in the scenarios where ECMs fight you. If you are within range of the ECM’s weapons/modules, the ECM is only weak to ECMs.
The ecm is weak to covert ops. Also, an ecm can’t put out enough damage casually to take down other ships quickly.
If you have a good tanky recon, with high dps crit damage, the ecm will be dead if you have similar skill to the ecm pilot.
Currently CovOp is the easiest and most reliable (on average) tool to win a game in T5, just supplement it with anti frig ball gunship and you’re set.
-
insane agility, dodging next to every projectile based weapons in 1000+ range
-
Extremely short cool down on orion (with E13 it gets xxxx)
-
Ability to easily deal with tackler “disables”, more and more covops adopting 2x multipurpose modules, so 10 seconds immune to slow, and one of these multipurpose modules is Shield Booster that has short CD as Orion +E13 you almost don’t have down time with in slow immunity
-
Emergency barrier, the module that allows Inties to #Yolo into multiple enemies and get out alive, resets by E13. Imho Emergency barrier one of the biggest things that takes away a “skill” in flying interceptor- you make a mistake - you should die, not just “lol, nothing but a scratch”
I don’t think CovOps are extremely OP though, but they require fine tuning, currently they are on OP side of the balance.
And only without mentionning the mechanics favorizing interceptors.
cov ops use double mpurpose because of camo being less reliable.
using anti tackler implant makes you vulnerable to ecm energy drain
dodging does only help you in sec con better, because there is friendly fire. at the same time, it doesn’t help since, there is friendly fire.
their range is extremely short. if you skip to achieve maximum damage with ships, as most fighter pilots do, you could easily keep them at range
emergency barrier is not part of every ceptor, energy costs in T5 are higher, therefore most CO need to do tricks to get stable
the CO has only one big upside, and thats weaker engineers, which a CO can first strike, but those victories therefore are still mostly tactical, not ship related
and if the team is strong, and can keep for itself, a CO can be devastating, but also useless
in a fact, i dont think CO is too strong, the 5 seconds anti tackling might be, and engineers are weaker
atm. tacklers are only flown with cruise+double drone trolling, and thats very uneffective to kill a CO, but games are won mostly because of destabilized teams.
ECMs on the other hand almost rule every match, and their natural counter - a co with dogfight skills and white noise - has almost no time to fight them; usually COs are less than useful. again, it depends on the pilots.
And only without mentionning the mechanics favorizing interceptors.
yeah like “decreased healing rate” and “less hull” and “more danger at every encounter”
to balance in small ships, star conflict has done a great job. there is nothing wrong with matching the small ships to be useful - most games failed exactly because of that missing.
as if empire fighters would not rule that tier as well, when it comes to fierce matches; and every second pub T5 match is a guard skirmish which just does not want to end. to frigate players ceptors might look frightening, but to every other class, they aren’t.

Since the latest plasma arc nerf, I’m switching to white noise in order to shut down ECM for a short time. They still jinx and run to cover on their engineer side, but at least you render them useless for a short period of time.

Strange man, you are not a gm. But you seems to know stuffs that actual gm doesn’t know. Or they just want to ignore.

Currently energy drain is the ONLY effective and reliable way to counter Covop, Combination of F8, J2 and proton walls, render everything else useless, on top of that consecutive disables gets diminishing effect on top of reductions from J2/Proton wall, you survive 1st one (which isn’t that hard with half the brain) all others ECMs are waste of space on enemy team vs you, and they better fight something else… And even that has get out of jail card - E14 for 7 seconds, that has 240 seconds cooldown as well. Btw Nothing prevent CovOps form dropping arc, and have Orion+Camo+2xMP modules, and just keep murdering everything with orion, let me remind you that under orion CovOp dmg reaches 10 000 DPS (throw in rockets and you are hitting 13 000 dps), and that has 30 seconds Cooldown that gets shorter and shorter with E13
their range is extremely short. if you skip to achieve maximum damage with ships, as most fighter pilots do, you could easily keep them at range
range of fighters is 500-3000, interceptors have ~500-1300 vs fighters, it takes 2 seconds to close 1000m gap or get of the line of fire.
emergency barrier is not part of every ceptor, energy costs in T5 are higher, therefore most CO need to do tricks to get stable
Passive armor, problem solved.

The only gun that is truly effective vs interceptors is Gravy beam, at 5k range, while someone else killing it. Tackler is my favorite role, i hate flying interceptors, but if you want to deal with enemy interceptors, the most efficient way is to go interceptor yourself, unless you are in squad. All these buble tacklers, ions, gauss, drones, assault rails are laughable vs good interceptors, they can sneak in a kill or 2 during the match, but they will not prevent 10-15 kills for covop meanwhile, the only way to put good Covop on defencive is Inhibitor Beam+Gravy beam at ~3.5-4k, period, there is nothing else.

The only ships that are competitive in DMG vs CovOps in T5 are Spark and Mjolnir, where Spark is OP in its own. As long as Enemy does not fly full blown Frig ball on small map, going CovOp is the easiest most efficient way to win the game. And not every frig ball is dangerous to Covops as well, it is mostly drone swarms that your teammates do not clear.

yeah sure.
yeah sure.
show me the video where you, as patch 1.0.6, are shutting down good interceptors, that knows how to fly with 200+ rotation, and not some brainless bots, with any of these guns (Ions/Bubbles/Assault Rails/Gauss) i will uninstall this game and will never come back to live servers.
And not sneaking in a kill with a missile (and if it is not EM+Speed/rotation implant missile, that can be fairly easily dodged) here and there with 3+ man focus, but being a driving force on shutting down those interceptors.
Aggressor took me down with ions on hammer… I was in Falcon M.
Does it count?

Does it count?
a) Hammer is not a tackler, it has 2x 3x dps of that
b) Falcon M sux
c) and again, did he shut you through the game or you just lololo died once? there is a huge difference, no one is immortal, everything dies, but some dies for a reasons, other for a coincidences.
a) ok ok
b) I know
c) well I went #YOLO
