That said, I still believe that there is no need, or point, in bringing anything that isn’t a railgun.

But railguns … now now
Lazors have their uses. Best support tool on fighters and frigates. I play well as frig protector using Assault Lasers on both either Guard or Engineer
Plasma - ultra efficient shield stripping - Plasma Gun another worthy weapon for consideration. The only inty weapon to be able to shoot for max potential damage farther than 1,000m. Positron sniping - one shot takes out inty shields combo that with shrapnel brawlers…
There are still a handful of useless guns but to sum it down to rail pwns all … sounds too much like DSR obsessed piloting.
Also - something seems broken with Ion guns (fighter class) too damned efficient. Haven’t worked it out yet but a couple of T3 regulars I see often use it to magical effect - killing both shields and hulls in seconds.

The only ones I see able to do that are bots who hit 100% of the time with it and kill your inty in about 3 seconds.
I got good aim and at medium range can sustain the beam for the full length of overheating time. But those 2 guys I see - they kill things much faster than I can. It’s something to do with the weapon’s variable damage I believe. They know something others don’t.
What the #$%!@ is this? Most of these changes would be terrible. Hell no.
These are ‘patch notes’ from someone who hasn’t even logged into the game in 2 weeks, and thinks he knows everything there is about this game because he has one rank 7 ship.
Personally, I think command ships are under powered. They are easy to kill. If an ECM gets to you and drains your energy and shoots you, your shield is done for. Everyone assumes command ships have full capacitors when they are fighting. Truth is, they’re usually less than 75%.

Note that there are 5 people involved in this, therefore your argument is invalid.
EDIT: And therefore you can either shut it or contribute something of actual value to these forums.
Actually let me elaborate on the “HELL NO”. I have a hunch the guy(s) coming up with this are primarily flying their ECM Interceptors. You wanna just run around locking down everyone and killing a target that cant fight back?
Nope, I fly engineers primarily with Tacklers, Guards and very occasionally my ECM when I’m on detonation. Not sure about the others, though.
and if they are all stacking their disables on 1 ship, then they are not crowd controlling, then they are person controlling…
You mean simply denying them their keyboard? Very unsportsmanlike.
Engineers are fine as is. Command ships are fine (maybe a little underpowered). Maybe its time to start looking at interceptors in general, particularly ECM. Maybe its time to look at doing what most other PVP games do, and build in stacking immunity/resistance to crowd control so they can’t just spam it and casually slay their defenseless target.
ECM may or may not get a rework. I’m with Jasan on his stance on the ECM. But adding in immunity to disabling abilities would be a good premise if executed correctly…

Please do power them up!
IT HAPPENED! HYPER-OP KATANA S FTW!!!
Nerf Astraal first!
Unfortunately they did that too, my gunships’ purposes have been smashed to pieces with no refunds… :((
I’m going to fly kat all the way from now on, pls don’t complain or i will haunt you.
One aspect of it went better all the way to absolute insanity. The downgrade on the second aspect is very light, enough to not even look at it because of the other one.

Guess we’ll have to see how it translates on the field. I can’t fly my R12 without getting into T5 today. And still no $ for Mk.II’s so … it’ll be awhile for me to find out for sure Gotta love The Grind.
