    I'm done. I've played maybe 4 games since the 2.9 update dropped. This is my explanation to the devs alone.

    I started with the shooter over a year ago, then went Enforcer. The best ship in the Bay. I've sat through all the sniper and yellow nerfs until the useless and pointless timer over my Tesla Shield.
    Meanwhile I can't recallany substantial mortar nerfs, or torps. Yes. We can pretend mortar spam isn't a problem, or say you have to get to higher infamy to get out of it, but it's there, it's a problem, it damps the enjoyment of many besides just me. Making it worst is it seems mortar users have been pandered to by taking the roof off the only level where mortar spam wasn't an issue.
    Next on my rant list is torps. Specifically the big torp. Will NO ONE admit this damn thing is overpowered?! A weapon that can take over half a ship's hit points with a direct hit, a third THROUGH A WALL, and routinely sinks ships 3 at a time. And you can pile both on a shooter with no consequence.

    One player doesn't make a difference, but this one player doesn't enjoy this anymore. At least for now. I'm sure I'll see if anything is balanced in 3.0, but things do need re-balancing.
    Until my return, happy sailings, and calm seas to all.

    Aww, sad to see you go. :(
    Okay, but do you mind if I add my opinion? As bad as it is?
    Okay
    Okay then, here goes.
    DISCLAIMER:
    I am at 2300 infamy and in no way an expert.
    Other than Tri-torps and frost nerf, you're right. Because by themselves, they aren't OP in the slightest. The problem is when someone or someones uses more than 3, and camps at the back. Maybe reduce effectiveness with multiple mortars equipped to one ship?
    Correct. For shooters, defenders, and some fixers. Speeders love mortar spammers.
    Aye, there was still plenty of room to do mortars.
    No. Because it isn't. After the frost nerf, it's basically a moving mine, that takes loads of skill.
    So can a mine. I know this sounds like saying don't sink, but battlefield awareness and paying close attention to who uses what will help a TON.
    The one or two times this ever happens, it hurts. But it only took my one or two times to learn to stay away from the wall.
    I have yet to see this happen in a match I was in. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, it just means it doesn't happen routinely at my infamy.
    Except no defense against enforcers, speeders, or close range brawlers.
    That will happen to everyone sooner or later, but its still sad when it happens. Take a break. Please?
    Good-bye and good-luck,
    -The Otherguy

    Definitely agree, a small nerf is necessary, maybe 5-10%?
    But what do I know. :p

    I have used it.
    But then again, I am facing super OP Mk6 Shooters with T5 Rares and Epics.
    One hit a ship a little ways away, and it did 700 damage to me.
    I am not good at measuring in game distance.
    Imagine a Big Berta, he would have been at the center, I woulda been at the edge.

    So... With the latest update I figured I come back and give it a go again. I started over with a new profile and ha! Yeah, still "broke".
    I had fun in the "n00b games" but once out in the bay all the problems showed themselves in less than a handful of games.
    At a 188 infamy with little crew training, a rare standard and t2 uncommon blast on a mk1 Enforcer, I'm in battle regularly against mk3 ships with almost twice the infamy, 342 was the highest, t2 epic weapons and shields I'm often getting 2 shotted. Oh well, back to Toon Blast I guess.

    Wouldn't have so bad on your old account :( Everyone has really good gear now at all infamies because of how the game is progressing.
