Sawtooth:(Alien toothpick more like)
I’ve not seen it in-game yet but from this photo it looks like a pair of scissors…
No, the problem is, this is not the solution for the problem. The problem was: 2-3 squads on one side, 0 on the other. The good solution would have been: distribute the squads as evenly as possible, making a maximum of 1 difference in number of squads.
Yes.
And as for me, the wait time is the killer. Make the matches as close as possible with who’s in the Q and go to battle. I personally don’t care if it’s unbalanced sometimes. Wars and battles never are. Sometimes your on the winning side sometimes your not. 30 seconds to a minute wait max. After that is just a waste. I don’t have hours a day to wait. I play a couple of battles and then am off to work or sleep. I very rarely squad and it is because of the wait times. I would much rather play more games than have to have them all perfectly matched.
Dmg. It’s a fairly pointless bonus. It’s not like tacklers are crit monsters even with 3 cpu slots.
but then
Interesting, two pulse dischargers + 3 cpu infrareds + empire R2 implant means about 1400 DPS gauss with 75% critic chance.
this math doesn’t make sense, and on top of that Rails have 7% base crit not 5%, if it would make sense it would be 77%.
Yay one more ship to get ! 3 CPU, this is gonna be fun ! I see that I lost another position in that leaderboard but I am not home right now and I cannot buy the ship…yet !
Cheaters!
Get used to the queue times. The main problem is the lack of players and that’s not gonna change in the next 3 or more months.
If MM would “match” SecCon style then the queue time would be much shorter but the match result probably the same is it now in PvP Skirmish.

Yeah, but cap chance is 75% so it doesn’t matter.
Also as said before, charge gauss add the chances so you don’t need more than 50%

Erm what? Sword AE is rank 14, i.e. 3 ranks higher. You can compare it to the Lance Bartle. Same rank and base stats and personally I find it stronger. I’ll take 2 engine slots and boosted tackler mods over that pirate ship any day.
But they have the same slot numbers, so from rank 11 all ships are the same, except for implants and slot configuration. And the new sawtooth is almost the same in bonuses and slots that the sword AE.

According to Zerk1 (just asked), there is no hard cap on critical chance in the game, meaning if your positrons /gauss have base 51% critical chance, full charged shots will have a critical hit every single time (102% critical chance)
slightly off topic …
went to do rank4 HMS for quick beacons … guess what?

Are you kidding me? This has got to be the most disappointing patch to date. Zero fixes on big, prevailing issues, but plenty of fixes on areas of the game that no one really uses. The Leaderboards are a cool idea, but it would have been better to install the mechanic after the open space update comes out.
The fact that there was only one (incorrect) change to the MM is practically an insult to the community. So 2-man squads are balanced now? Okay, well what about the games where you can get matched with two 4-man squads? What about getting matched with HORRIBLE players and the enemy team is perfectly stacked? I am not the only one to have noticed this; it is actually a problem.
Fix the game, Devs. It’s your child, but you’re kicking it in the teeth.

had a feeling this would happen with the leader-board reward 0.0

Really ? Can we have an official confirmation on this ? Because if its the case, I might try something different.
No degressiv Yeld on the Crit chance accumulation?
*Insert Evil laugh here*

xK - Comrades experts, Is there a critical chance hard cap in the game? (75%) or is it possible to boost it to 100% with fully charged gauss/positron
Z - possible
xK - So if i have a 51% base crit chance on a gauss, then full charge will be 102% and each shot will do crit hit?
Z - yes
xK - What about the 75% hard cap, did it get removed from the game? wasn’t it there 1-1.5 year ago?
Z - There were no hard cap

Please someone confirm this!!! :008j:
I get kicked out of the preflight countdown as soon as it starts. I have spoken with several other users in the ingame chat in this is happening to them too. All of us were using steam over linux. We found 5 different instances were this was happening so I know Im not crazy nor is my machine specifically failing.
Someone at the ingame chat said the programmers are aware of it and trying to correct this, any news or updates on that.
It all happened when this latest patch autoupdated on my machine. It sux, I want to play, im really close to my t3 now but cant collect if I cant play.
bummer
