Boosters unfair in PvP: do you agree?

[mark750]

Hello everyone, I would like to tell you all a little thing.
Probably everyone knows the speed booster, and expecially how annoying it is during pvps..
Basically, it provides an HUGE advantage against the enemy since, being faster, you can:
-Avoid orbital strikes by simply moving around (while non-boosted people can't)
-Keep on using ranged weapons (like SniperBlast) , which affect a lot non boosted people since well..they cannot reach you
-Stay away from tank ships and expecially from their aggrobomb, which makes the tanks pretty much worthless (and we all know how useless they have become since the arrival of RDX ship..)
And much more unfair situations that i'm not going to type now..
My idea is to NOT simply remove it from the game..since it really helps expecially on sirius..but to limit its use during pvp situations.
Like the armor and firepower boosst aren't effective in pvp, the speed booster shouldn't be effective against other players..by, for example, deactivate it when the player has pirate mode enabled..
If it doesn't work in conquests, why should it help and create an unfair advantage against non-paying users?
Thanks for reading, please tell me what you think about it in the comments

:arrowup: :arrowup: Yeah you're right,booster shouldn't work when you fight other players (but not definitively since it's usefull in sirius), it should be like, when you get attacked by another player the booster goes off ,and comes back 1 min after the last attack.
PvP should be a fair fight since not everyone likes to use booster, ah and booster= no orbital strike and thats not fair for players that use ships with OS.

speed boosters cannot be used on colossus and cq planets, i think thats enough. shooting other players keeps still unfair when you deactivate speed boosters.
Someone will complain about ancient blueprints.
Someone will complain that you are in an other system ship (shooting mizar ships with sirius f.e.)
Someone will complain that you have drones he hasnt.
And please remember the speed drone. You can do the same things like mark750 already said. At least with a dominator you can avoid orbital strikes with a speed drone.

Extra Info: the upcoming updates will include changes for PvP. Just wait and have a look on it.

yep i totally agree to you Mark. it makes pvp a lot unfair to unboosted people and they have really huge advantage in pvp. i also would love it deactivated when PM is on. if we deactivate it on cq planets and colossus ,lets do in every system too. speed booster ruines whole fun to people withou it

someone will complain about ancient bps ? everyone can wait and get it someday for free , like we all do.
someone will complain about noobpodding ? then dont go red if u cannot defend yourself vs lvl 85 guy. but its another issue when u got maxed pvp ship but someone comes and has lots of chances of podding u just coz he is boosted and u are not.
noobpodding is one thing and using speed booster is another thing
and about drones , everyone can get drones for free . some while events and some drop every time u know.
and u compare having speed drone and having top boost + speed drone ? its much difference there.

i have heard that graviton in use under pvp is being a coward? i dont think so. they're there to be used.

 

[sierra]

Gladiator simply not true,you can't avoid os in any ship without using speed boost (we are talking abt avoiding it without using ab,if u use ab you can avoid it even without drone and in puni ) for dominator you need 29 % booster to avoid os, 15 % not enough,for really fast ships like poenari you can do it with just 25 % . Anyway i agree that ppl still will say you got that and this,for the bps and drones you work to get them and if you do have them it is not your fault that others are lazy, for booster you don't need to do much to get it

gravitons we all get for free . so it is not tragedy to use it . but we cant get speed booster for free

i didnt talk about afterburner, talked about a dominator with speed drone, punishers are f**king slow :-D
I already did it like that, where is your Problem? It doesnt work when you turn left or right, but when you fly without it its possible! I will try it again the next time i will do pvps with friends on Kalabesh, but it was a nice sound on the TS server when my opponent is shouting when this happens

I am form Korell, we became famous, because most of our players are crying when nearly nothing happens Its very annoying when you have to read this every day.

Unless that was a mantis os yeah you might have done it but vs player nope,but yeah if you can,make a video and post it on utube

 

[Baker halim]

i agree

 

[alekjoao98]

It's time to make the game worth and fair in PVP don't you think?
Also seeing unskilled players using speed boosters against GMs is frustrating...
So please whether you remove it as quick as you did in Colossus and Conquests, you ought to do it in PvPs..

 

[Highway]

Yes, that's a good point to make PVP more fair. We could pause the speed booster as long as the pirate mode is active or when playing on pvp enabled planets (CQ, Colossus). We might introduce that in the upcoming PVP rework.

 

[sierra]

That gives hope , fingers crossed.

Thank you very much for your answer! This shows the developers are still with us and want to help us!

Dont forget to pause the timer aswell! :mrorange:

just think about pausing it while pirate mode is on. when player gets PM off then he can keep using booster again . in this way every side will be glad . booster users(they wont loose money) and non booster users too
looking forward on you and thanks for attention !
P.S i am sure fun and fair pvp will keep and get back many lvl 85 people in game because when player has maxed acc he has nothing to do excepting helping others or PvP.
