This is still true for the missions but once you have access to TC tech Siri is more an "farming system" from that point on that can be done solo or in sq to kill the stuff quicker.
This depends imo on where you hunt and what you hunt. Calon with currently the top planet is the "hardest", EiU is in the middle just with the artifical difficulty of the Sky OS and Venar is at this point currently "Mars of Sol"
. Once TC4 and the final tech + golds will be added it will give a slight shift again so that Venar then will turn into "Molikar" and EiU will then be "Mars in Sol" while Calon will be easier to tackle due of more armor of our ships and more damage output due of top/gold tech.
Seb you're missing the point that the MT was NEVER meant to be a deployable tank ship...it's not supposed to both draw aggro AND be tankier than your ship; its purpose is to let you escape from enemies that are chasing you (which it still does just fine) and let you catch up to enemies that are trying to get away from you (which, again, it still does just fine). I've personally been using a chromian very frequently since the day the MT got nerfed on the PTR, even now after the update hit the live servers and I have 0 complaints which should mean something coming from a player who uses the ship as often as I do.
But do you think this is fair? I mean chromian is the most bought and most flight ship by players (except me i fly slate). It has. Speed actuator, protector orb and magnet trap. What has an emp? Prot ,sniper and thermo thats it.. If you compare the ships in a battle who would win? I say chromian! Which ship performs better in single target damage? Of course emp! Which ship has more endurance? Not the emp hehe... He lost 20-40% armor if i remember. He was a beast . he was able to defeat solo an giza. So there is this new rdx in town they weaknen the magnet trap (which is actually good) but doesnt touch the ships armor. Why is that so? Just simple they don't want to break our lovely rdx chromi. But i say go for it. Turn the armor down because this is actually a problem.I do. In sirius emperor. That is like 20% weaker than chromian, doesn't have magnet trap and doesn't have speed actuator. And i see no problems there
Well the issue that Frog has is that it has the Taunt and the Scram next to the MT and the SB. For Taunt i noticed today that in combo with the Division drone the Taunt actually does not function as it should cus it plays the animation of the taunt but due the unit is "out of the aggro range" it simply does not care about the taunt and continues to mind its own business. Aside from that i don´t know why but it feels like the range of the Taunt has been reduced as well cus from my dark memory i had the feeling that taunt was already working when the unit was just barely in the radar vicinity.
I can only assume here but i belive that the reason why "not many pilots aquire any new ship in an RDX event" is the simple fact how boring and tedious the process of reaching Mission B is and at the end the remaining pilots just try to achive some placings for the cortex as reward what is a whole different topic if we would now just talk about the reward system that would require another suggestion post at some point and then go for all Reactor planets and not just the RDX one.
My personal belive is and stays that this nerf was made cus a lot of pilots did build the Chrom/Slate and CQs where spamed with MTs. I know i should keep my profile low due i did not participate in any of the PTR rounds but from the vids i have seen about the PTR rounds in most of them the MT was a pretty present object in any CQ that was in Mizar onwards and in combination with the high HP it was the "only option" SSG had to counter this spam to some degree.
I just want to put emphasis on the fact that Aim Scrambler is not supposed to make the player invulnerable and make everything miss 90% of the time, or used as a joker item. It's purpose is to make the likelyhood of a hit lower, which it accomplishes. It's really hard to see that it works, because the game is heavily RNG based. It's really hard to explain, but basically and for simplicity's sake I will say, sometimes your blaster normally hits say 9 out of 10 times because you're supposed to hit 6 out of 10 times that time, another time it's supposed to only hit 6 out of 10 times. What scrambler does is makes it so you're more likely to end up having 6 out of 10 times hit, but it doesn't guarantee it will happen, and there's still a chance that you will hit 9 out of 10 times. You might be unlucky and only hit 6 out of 10 times without Scrambler, then with Scrambler, you again, only hit 6 out of 10 times, that doesn't mean it doesn't do anything, it just means that maybe had the person not used Scrambler then, you would've ended up hitting 9 out of 10 times at that exact time, but with Scrambler, it ended up being 6 out of 10. It then to you looks like the Scrambler did nothing because you're still hitting the same amount of times, but in reality, it's did it's thing, if that makes semse. That's just how RNG works and there's nothing you can do about it, sometimes you can see the difference, sometimes you can't.
This still just proves my point that not many players ended up having the ships so it was very hard to see the potential of both the CC and MT. Nothing else needs to be said here apart from the fact that I can agree this might also be the case.
Still proving my point that small amount of players had the ship, so they weren't able to see it's true potential and strength.
I really don't think it was just the CQ that was the main reason for the nerf, just like Getagripx said:My personal belive is and stays that this nerf was made cus a lot of pilots did build the Chrom/Slate and CQs where spamed with MTs. I know i should keep my profile low due i did not participate in any of the PTR rounds but from the vids i have seen about the PTR rounds in most of them the MT was a pretty present object in any CQ that was in Mizar onwards and in combination with the high HP it was the "only option" SSG had to counter this spam to some degree.
For PvE this nerf may be "anoying" but this depends how you have used the MT until this point and considering the human nature we are "lazy animals" who may not really put any time and effort into adapting to the new situation to find another way
and I'm really really happy that it comes from a person that uses the ship a ton and is aware that the MT was too strong, even in PvE.
I want to mention here that I was wrong about the Bullfrog's armour, but also that I initially intended on saying that it's armour is weak compared to hybrid class ships.
I totally agree with with Vesperion on this point , that this was exactly what happened with me & members of my clan, and also assume same for others.
I´m aware that the scram should not make you totaly invulnerable to anything but if i compare the Scram now vs the scram before TC it was much more so that many hits did miss (7-8 out of 10) and the "only real counter" for that was the Aim Comp (with Sol the SB then as well) to normalise rng factor. Atm it feels more like if i have the scram active the ratio is only 2-3 out of 10 while without scram it is 1-2 out of 10.
One of the "most obvious proofs" was during the time when SSG even extended the RDX V event for 5 days due the fact that the Data showed that not as many Pilots as expected have aquired the Chrom and what already has shown SSG that this event would need a change rather then sticking to the Reactor formula.
So it´s not that Pilots "do not want to have the ship" it´s just that the way for it is a) way to tedious and b) if you have the ships from the previous event 2/3 of the event are pointless cus farming the Signets to unlock mission B and the milestone rewards are not really worth the time and effort if you know that with the next RDX Event you can obtain the ship with Mission A so it makes "more sense to just wait for the next RDX Event then playing it from start to finish"
Let me just say this again you are used to the MT in a way it not really was intented to be used so that you notice this change way more then i or @Getagripx will.
Is the list for Korell? Considering the Askone Server most used ships i see at place 1-5 are Chrom, Para, Slate, T-Bird and Hunter.
I dont care why nef after 2 years, ofc we all know how and when they work, i wana know when will be rebalance all ships and items ?
This is something i can not confirm cus in all my years of playing i have now at least experienced it in 2 games that after at least 1 year game mechanics have been changed that in reverse affected the "game flow" completly due the new mechanics had nothing more in common with the game i played 1 year before.
Auto-shooting or auto-loot will never be a thing, it has been said by Highway multiple times why, don't be lazy, collecting cryonite isn't hard and barely takes anytime, just shoot couple of units and when there are no units nearby, you can collect all the cryonite on the ground without wasting time.
I only ask the following:
