Whenever there?s a nerf, people will always be complaining. It?s only natural. Everytime something changes there is always a number of people unhappy and wanting everything to go back to the way it was. It happens when the Youtube or Facebook layout changes. And even everywhere else. To be honest, I don?t have any problems with these changes. It?s good that they?re focusing on making each ship class more balanced and even if it doesn?t fit now, at least that?s their goal in mind and they?re heading towards that. I don?t know how the escort class got hit, but it?s happened to the strikes before and its happened to lines when their accuracy got reduced. These aren?t major severe changes that have made the ship useless. I guess it just means you?ll have to adapt. Maybe it?ll be more difficult and maybe there are some tweaks needed here or there, but nothing is perfect at the end of the day.
However, regarding the RCS ducts, mainly for lines. For a very long time now everyone?s been using them and upgrading it to +lvl10s. Firstly, line equipment is incredibly expensive compared to the other two classes. And secondly, flying a line with avoidance was needed. Otherwise you?d simply absorb every hit without putting a dent on the other line with avoidance. You were pretty much a flying potato. Now after this update, they?ve rendered them useless. I?m sure 95% of the people, if not all, would have invested into something else if the avoidance was originally like this. But they haven?t even cared about all the time, money/griding and effort put into upgrading this equipment? The least they could do is give some sort of compensation on this. Doesn?t have to be full. Even just partial. This isn?t a simple nerf, it?s a huge change.
And to add to that, quite simply, why did they have a happy hour upgrade sale on engine parts right BEFORE the update was applied? Why not have it AFTER the changes? Why not give any warning that the equip you?re upgrading now is going to be very different tomorrow? Nothing. It?s simply obvious that they only cared about getting as much money as they can. It?s all just bad business ethics.
So despite all this unpleasant nerfing, it?s the bad business ethics that?s getting to most people, especially line pilots. And I?m damm sure that if they reduced the strike avoidance to exactly how they did it with the lines, you?ll be in the same position complaining that all that time, grinding/money and effort has just gone to a complete waste, and annoyed that they?ve not even given any sort of compensation.
But I could be wrong. Is it the nerf or their bad business ethics? And why?
And I?m not making a direct comparison with strike avoidance to line avoidance. But the idea that you invest so much time or money into something, and it?s just taken away from you without any care for that time or money put in.
And I?m also not saying they shouldn?t have reduced value of the RCS ducts. God-mode lines needed to be fixed and changing the values has done this. But they should have given some compensation for this change.
