Teams not even when one side gets destroyers and the other doesn't.

Combat Recon is an absolute disaster since the Destroyer update. Every match I’ve been in that has had a destroyer, had only one destroyer. The destroyer was always on the other team (lucky me :P) and it would charge straight for our captain. Even with the whole team trying to take it down the match only lasted a few seconds.

 

Destroyers need to be evenly distributed amonst the teams! ESPECIALLY in Combat Recon. And further, in Combat Recon if there are 2 Destroyers either both should be opposing captains or both opposing hunters(?). Otherwise one team would have a seriously unfair advantage.

Agreed, though there’s not much they can do about this, as destroyers are simply another ship.

Give it a month or so and people will slow down using them.

I’m about ready to disassemble mine now. Really tempted to make a mjolnir.

well one of the most frustrating matches i had was a game where the enemy team had 3 destroyers in combat recon, while my team had none.

Those 3 destroyers had free reign of the space and, speaking in RTS/MOBA terms, easily got “map control”, leaving our captain now direction to flee.

 

In the next match the enemy team again had 3 destroyers which then proceeded to camp 1 beacon each. With some focus fire we killed one of those destroyers and captured the beacon, but guess what he instantanously respawned with his destroyer and was right back at the beacon. Great stuff.

 

This is xxxx obvious unbalanced bullshit.

 

Limit the number of alive destroyers per team to 2. Limit the number of destroyers per player to 1 and/or limit the number of respawns for destroyers to 1 per game.

 

And xxxx make sure that both team have the same amount of players with destroyers in their lineup. This is not rocket science. This is an obvious balance problem.

 

replace xxxx’s in the text above with some random curse/swear word. of your choice.

Thanks for the feedback guys, we are monitoring situation right now, and we’ve implemented some tweaks in MM already.

Destroyers have ruined T3 PvP in my opinion. Something needs to change. Bring back the obscenely high repair cost, and make so that you can only use your destroyer once, if it blows up, that is it for the match, you’ll have to pick another ship. Or even limited the amount per match but that would be a little difficult to get to work. I am dreading the day they appear in T5.

You are not alone.

picture somewhat related - Get a destroyer to a beacon when it starts, and you will win, because PvP is not a team-based game anymore.

How long does it take to take down an Archon?

Well we have 67 seconds to do that and take the beacon.

I’ll be destroyed, which leaves the job to Dr, Recon and Miss Command. Perhaps they can kill it and it’s support in 67 seconds.

The two friendly destroyers will arrive in like 4 minutes and start supporting :smiley:

And i don’t have a squad to coordinate anything with.
