Overpowered ships and not

[Delloda]

The sniper ship was overpowered with double orbital strike hit bug. It is now balanced to fight well against other ships rather then dominating them. It has been extensively tested against lvl60 ships and it fairs well only losing often against lvl50 parsec class ships.

I'm locking this thread because if you can't win with sniper ships, you need more practice. the sniper isn't weak.

I can still win but I am still not a cry winner...

If its balanced in pvp, its balanced against mantis... get over it. It is still very difficult (well i find it anyway) to pvp a sniper without a fully rared out ship.

I'm simply stating that when you perceive a change, go and look in the patchlogs and see if there really has been a change.

If there is nothing in the patchlog but you really feel a change has been made, then there are two things that might be occurring:

1. There is a bug which is not related to balancing, ie it is not to do with a value change that I have made, but is caused by something unintentional. Please make a ticket as this is very helpful.

2. You might be wrong, perceptions are like that some times.

With regard to the Orbital Strike, its balancing was changed on the 15th of March. Its power was doubled after feedback from the PTR. The Orbital Strike has not been changed since, if it feels different, then please remember the above numbered points.

The Sniper has never been changed, not even on the PTR. It does 50% more damage than the Sol Rare Blaster, has 100% accuracy, higher chance of critical hit and a much higher range. I think that is worth double the energy.

Once again, and please read this with an open mind, I do not go around changing the balancing of the game constantly, trying to destroy the fun. I simply don't have the time to do this, I'm to busy design new features for PG and making new Star Systems.

However, sometimes I get feedback from our Product Managers which might lead me to change something, but it will be in the patchlog, so at least when you percieve a change, you can check the forum to find out. I am not involved in some kind of balancing evil doing If you think the balancing of the game sucks, then well, that's a different point and I can only apologise as I am doing my best with a very heavy workload.

Cheers,

Jonny

this is a quote from the original developer in a archived post http://forum.pirategalaxy.com/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=1898&hilit=sniper

appears the double strike was designed ??? not a bug?? If the X-Shadow is a heavy weapons platform then it should have much more fire power than any other ship, right??? is it not the ultimate ship in the game at this point?? should it not dominate all other ships easily?? shouldn't it be the goal of all players to get this ship to dominate all others?? will the debate ever end???
elfrich

LOL it might not take 3 bars of ur HP now but its this the best ship for pvp and grinding

OS will take up to 2 hp bars with a good hit but u want something to moan about take it to lz e on earth and OS a mizar ship that is the only prob with OS that is it dont work good on hills this could be fixed

pvped a sniper damaged me nothing with os this must be a bug

 

[jakestynes10]

lol i most of the time pvp at lz of earth OS is the best there if u are pvping any other ship like a stun never run after it out of lz it will only get its rep back and just stun u if u wait at lz ur rep will cooldown fast as ur not stunned and when u see his rep gone OS and give him every thing any pro in a stun will run lol

But it should take a fully rared out ship and good player to take it out. after all it is a rare ship with rare equips and to get one takes a lot of grinding...

but you are fogetting the key point. This game is balanced so no matter how much grinding you do things can only be so good before they get overpowered. The dual hit orbital was overpowered, end of. Just because you spend millions of cryonite on it does not mean it is a good ship. That is what i like about this game, there is no overused ship class, people use a variety of ships.

I think it would be nice that OS didn't use 1 sec to say boom but in the sec it will come down it will say kaboom...

rly is it fair ppl can flee from it... do some thing SS and don't make it a ship that suck.


A pvp I think yesterday I did pvp right when the OS did come did I press ab and did flee and podded that guy

so what do you think now

 

[TwistedMetal]

i think the damage is too veried on the os it needs to be a little more constant in the damage it does. 9 times out of 10 now i do hardly any damage to other players in pvp and rank 60 mantis just laugh at my os it doesnt ever scratch them

 

[ridoi]

the damage is 0-30% like it looks like...
