Indeed. If it works as it sounds, despite screams about the overpoweredness of the remote shield generator, they’ve decided, rather than nerfing it, to make it a baseline ability?! I was hoping I’d misunderstood. Still, I should reserve judgement for after I’ve seen it in action.
Cmon, do you honestly believe that your self? What could they possibly benefit by doing that?
One does not simply change the outcomes of a poll in Russia…L O L

Bots repair hull, not shields. Their repair speed is also quite a bit lower.
It’s still another healing mod, that’s been made baseline. I.e. a healing buff.
And as of this update, T3 is back. At least for now. Nukespam is still annoying and frigate balls still destroy everything. But camera change was enough to get many people off frigates, which helps, and nukers tend to be bad enough to get plasma arced to death while they sit with the diffusion shield up waiting for their nuke to go off (hilarious btw).
Actually I get more kills off my main weapons with my Strong now than nukes. Most people have gotten used to nuke spamming, know what to look for and are able to avoid them. Mostly I just use nukes to take a nice chunk out of cerby 2’s and guards so I can kill them quicker. Assault Rails with projectile speed weapon mods are deceptively good dps.
It also helps that I bound the mark target key to my V button so coordinating the team and focusing fire on hard to kill targets is alot easier. T3 is more about teamwork and less about lone wolfs carrying an entire team like in T1/T2.
More people learned the sound of nuke’s launch too. Natural selection at its finest.
The only problem in t3 is the nuke spam
But the ingame poll proved, that majoiriy of players like, that there is no FF.
because most of the players haven’t played a t3 game,they have no idea to the nuke spammer
Nukes should be removed. It Will suck for people that can’t aim but it’s better for the game.
I’ve seen players going into games with four fighters just to spam Nukes… pretty sad really.

Frigate balls are still a serious problem, but they’re rare now. But when you meet one, you know that you’ll still lose if you don’t have one of your own.
Current T3 combined with the player opinion of T3, means that I have never felt like playing a T3 match. I guess that is broken. I should want to move forward in the game right? I have lvl 8 with 2 factions, and even own a few T3 ships, but I haven’t even flown them once. T2 matches start fairly quick and are profitable. I have never felt that going up to T3 was a positive thing, so I end up having 3 LVL6 ships in the queue decked out in blue and purple. I certainly wouldn’t mind if they made it so I wanted to progress. The game is getting a little stale doing T2 pvp all day.

It’s the power loss combined with requirement for more teamplay. You don’t want to swap from MK3 modules to MK2 ones and you are too used to being able to solo carry the team.
Eventually you’ll probably get to the point where you get enough MK3s for T3 so that desire to progress will tip you over. Hopefully. Quite a few of us are T3 only and wouldn’t go back to T2 unless T3 got broken like it was when this thread was started.
Yeah a frigate ball can shutdown and entire team of Strongs trying to nuke spam.

I’m glad we agree that the only even half functional counter is to abuse the other currently broken mechanic in the game and that both are currently broken.
Made a suggestion that might help with both issues in T3 without nerfing shield regen. Tell me what you think.

That ingame poll was not designed very well. There was one option of no FF, which had the most votes, but the other options involved FF and was 70% ALTOGETHER. So a majority of players want FF, but then they were split over how to apply it.
Actually, if you look at over the past ingame polls, they were all poorly designed. Maybe the devs should take a crash course in statistics.
Nukes have upset the balance in domination…the side that has them wins every time…period…being able to take out all the ships defending a beacon in one shot = game over.
About nukes: They take 10 seconds to explode, they make a distinct beeping noise (that gets faster as they’re about to explode if I’m not mistaken), have a bright orange blinking light on them and their explosion radius isn’t that big. The capture radius is higher than a nuke’s explosion radius, so you can even keep capturing a beacon that had a nuke dropped on it. I haven’t died to a nuke in a long while now.

No, what wins them the game is deploying nukes and self-destructing. They return, 20 seconds later, with a brand new nuke to shove up your behind.
That as well. I’ve seen people use nukes on lone LRFs :facepalm:
