how are standard ships mostly better? Premiums can cherrypick their own set of broken modules while they additionally get superior passive boni. Take a look at the sawtooth: 20% more damage on top of 20% more crit damage on top of a free choice of the most broken actives for tacklers. How is a puny lance bartle going to compede with that?
One example, I would prefer to use my Jaguar, but repair cost is the reason I use my Rockwell. This was long before the modules got released. I have been a tackler pilot primarily since Jaguar came out. But repair cost forced me to retire my favorite ship.
I won’t use any of the new ships because of repair. I might test them out, but one my credits drop too low I am forced to go back. Between all the new cost, credits is not the lacking resource for me. There are a few other things I am lacking too, all of it loot drop related.
I think the secret (craftable) ships should be allowed all the same rights as premiums because many of us paid real money to get hem to where they are.
I would like to also see a premium r17 destro so I dont have to pay repair cost.

The capacitor slot could be usef for that thing that reduces damage from ships that are further than 1500m away.
I would personally go for resistances and volume instead of regen. A shield splitter yeilds around 60% bigger shields. That is a much bigger advantage than ~50pts/sec extra regen, considering that a lrf needs to survive shock damage instead of tickle damage.
Not going for full regen will also allow for increased main weapon damage.
By using all shield slots to resistances you reduce the shock damage by more, especially if you take into account the extra shield regeneration powered only by the capacitor slots and allowed use via the energy regeneration powered by the passive armor on the single hull slot.
the more shield resistance you have the more the shield regen is worth. If the regen is 200 pt/s and you have at least 50% reduction to all damages, it’s actually regenerating 400 pt/s.
if you go to increase volume instead of resists your regen is worth much less, especially in the long run if you’re relying on an active module to increase resistances, it’s also much harder to bring that high volume shield back up to full which means you become much weaker than the more versatile regenerative/resist hybrid build after that initial encounter unless you actually intend to die every time to get everything back for the next run.
About the patch: pvp is still cancer at times. High rank fights are still dominated by the same regen/warp stingrays, focusing laser orelus, deconstructor cutters, energy block objects, circleje.rk heal wazgots and tharok easymode dipsh.its. The newest addition are radar block ECM and Song Of Peace Spam. This results in incredibly boring, tedious and frustrating matches.
The fact that most maps encurage a stationary campfest doesnt help either. It keeps driving me away from the game every time I try to give it another chance.
I have memories of many fun and interesting fights in the past. Those memories always brought me back.
Playing this game in its current state seems to always leave a bitter taste behind.
So much that I wonder if I really should keep giving it another chance after all.
There is also mostly no interaction with the develpers on the forums. It makes me wonder if all the feedback that we write is just another waste of time.
Oh this is unlocked still.
Huh, since this is open still…
Well, does anyone have a list of NPC corporations now? Just from 1.5.5 patch notes these alone were mentioned:
CMS
Sci-Tech
Ellydium
5th Squadron (?)
Undock Unlimited
With Blackwood and Hellion being two more prominent NPC corporations present. Are we gonna get some backstory behind some of the more obscure ones (Undock and 5th Squadron in particular) since the list is kinda growing more and more but with only a small amount of lore behind most of them.
You can find the stories on the russian wiki and by translating them you can get a rough understanding of what they are about, strange that the EN wiki hasn’t been updated yet.
Also, someone should close this discussion, Orcinus Orca, I summon thee to seal thy gates of the discussion.
Time to close this discussion, another one will be opened soon ”)
