Sniper is too powerful.

[lance]

Ok, the sniper is now the only ship that hasnt been nerfed in any way. It is currently rediculous in pvp.

The orbital strike SHOULD NOT BE ABLE to critical hit. It is a 1 hit kill for anyone in either a stun or a storm or engi.

Also, the stun has a glitch where, when using a speed actuator, the blasters fire, cooldown, become active for a very short amount of time in which the will not fire, deactivate, then activate again so you can fire them. This "flash" of activation makes the blasters fire a lot slower then they should when using a speed actuator. I do not know if this happens with all of them but it happens with the sol speed actuator.

it also has a rediculous amount of health, which is dumb because it is a fire power based ship. the more firepower, the less armour. you cannot make a ship well armoured and rediculously powerful.

It used to be only beatable with a stun, but the stun has a glitch so now its pretty mich unbeatable.

Just because its a rare ship does not mean it should completely dominate pvp. In fact, the bp is very easy to get because grinding signor commanders is really easy.

Lance, it's not only strong in PvP but also the best ship to graind, what makes it unfair, storm is good in grainding, shock is good in PvP. But this one is both.

However it is possible to kill a sniper with a shock, i have done it once, i had almost no rares but just with my trick i killed him.

sniper is not too powerful any storm can beat a sniper if you know how to do it. i can defeat loads of snipers its all on technique

i know, but this is mainly a rant about how the stun cant do it anymore because of the glitch.

maybe, but it happened not long after you went as well. Twice in the space of 1 hour is more than a bit annoying

 

[TwistedMetal]

i beat loads of snipers in my storm you just got to ab at the right time away from OS iv also seen loads of other storms beat snipers and when the stun is working properly that too beats a stun, iv even seen tanks beat a sniper so it is by no means over powered. and the sniper has been nerfed the cool down on both the OS and sniper blaster not take twice as long to re charge now from when the sniper first came out, plus as a sniper pilot i drop 1k cryo everytime im podded you in your stun drop 512 cryo, when os does crit it does hit hard but it doesnt crit that often

Buhu Buhu SS. I was hit 3 times with a critical hit from a storm in pvp.That is way to many times for me to survive, cant you make the storm less powerfull? buhu buhu. lol

Stopp complaining m8. Sometimes you can get an critical hit 2 or 3 times in a row, but thats xtremly rare.

When im grinding and got a load of inters on my tail, and i using my OS, il expecting a big CABOOOOM when i hit those buggs. But most of the time its more like fzzzt, and maybe only 10% dies.

Please refrain from being blind. I said this is MAINLY rant about the nerf on the shock, not the sniper itself. But if they are not going to do anything about the stun, then the sniper needs nerfing too.

 

[ridoi]

Sniper is damn not powerful and shock is still one of the best pvp ships
Sniper cost's about 250 cry and something must be done with the money I know what grind and pvp
but if you see inf fact it's about skillz and nothing else yeah more crit that's nothing if a shock repair 2 times then you know your done but flee and come back and repair and it's done? nah the shock repair again and here you get it... what ship is overpowered?

But I did 1 time 1 hit kill a player with my OS it was in that 25% damage day

a OS can do max 80 damage on a parsec with 25% you extra you know your done a parsec is done and any another ships...

Now about engi a fast ship how to flee from a sniper it's very easy self protect ab orbit'

Tank vs sniper then you know the tank have better chance for podding the sniper cos it has more armour

The stormy
Powerful ship ;P overpowered? yes and no it's about crit if a can think OS can do about 1/8-7/8 damage on a parsec it's about luck some times but in fact sniper is not overpowered but the storm rocket+blaster huge damage every time and maybe a 80%chance for crit hit like normal, but blaster we can say 30% with aim that was all I wanted to say...

I swear the sniper has some sort of aim scrambler lol.... I can never hit it. I miss about 6 shots on average per pvp with a sniper. How the hell am i meant to beat this thing??? I have even dodged both orbital strikes and still get completely owned by the damn sniper. Is there any way to beat a sniper with a stun without having a redicuolous amount of luck involved?? Sniper blaster always hits, and crits often, I crit once in a blue moon with ssb.... What is wrong with this?? I have beaten one twice- out of about 50 pvps.... and i use the same tactic every1 else who can beat them uses...

On a side note, how much longer does the rare stun charge and stun dome last for? because without it, i seem to never be able to win. The only pvps i have won are when i hit 5-6 crits per pvp, and even then its close....

Anyone got any tactics/tips for beating this?

at the moment, i use dome then stun then stun then dome and dodge both orbital strikes. The problem is that the sniper never has to heal before its on less than half the bottom bar of hp before it needs to repair, the stun has to repair earlier unless the sniper hits a random crit- which seems to be nearly 50% of the time...
I have the rares:
blaster
collector ( no diffrerence)
afterburner
speed actuator.

It's cos we sniper pilot's use Cheat Aim Scrambler, it works every time when we pvp we hit tank more then they hit us, they mis more on us then we mis on them. just kidding

if you see the fact so is sniper a big ship and it would be easy to hit it but some times you do just have bad luck I pvped a storm and I missed like 5 time no hit but if I would not have a sniper blaster would I sure not win it's just about skills.
