    i don't think that's balanced, so a defender would never had an option to win against a nitro speeder, now it's 50/50

    I think your argument is ridiculous, not you as a person. :)

    I'm not sure this game works on tradeoffs ...

    What is an Enfo if not a more agile, more tanky, harder to hit defender ... ?

    Think of the double bubble as 2 big shields - although they probably absorb more damage (or discourage more players from taking shots) than a big shield does over the course of a match. The OB as a turbo. And, they have a big shield, small shield, and 3 weapons.

    More tank, more agility, and harder to hit .. for what trade off? They don't have the option of using dual ECs, but the BC has a higher dps anyways.

    My point is, it’s clearly different, there are a lot of variables that have changed, so it’s fairly optimistic to assume that it will all magically be balanced somehow.
    You don’t know that it’s 50/50. Defender has triple the hp and more weapons. If the Speeder is no longer able to avoid those shots consistently then it will massively favour the Defender. You have no idea where the current balance is now.

    seems like we have different points of view, just passing a defender with nitro it's not the only way to attack them.

    No one said it was the only way to attack them. In fact, it doesn’t need to have anything to do with attacking. Maybe I’m on fire, and just want to get away from the Defender before he kills me.

    Yesterday, I could (hopefully) Nitro past him and try to escape, today I can’t. While it may not be the only thing I can do, it is certainly one less thing.

    I’m not even saying whether it’s good or bad. There is an incredibly small chance that you are right, and the devs have (by some miracle) accidentally hit on a perfect 50/50 balance, with their eyes closed.

    What is more likely, however, is every other possibility in the universe, in which that hasn’t happened. In which case, I’m right, and it’s going to need attention.

    Think we need another comment from the devs addressing this.. my normally very active guild seems to mostly dead suddenly after the update it’s like no one wants to play anymore.. pretty drastic.

    This agility increase was unnecessary. People didn’t use rudder because it really isn’t useful - now you force it on everyone and say “take that it’s good for you”.

    Rudder is/was useful if you know how to use it.

    Auto-pilot is code for “rush me in to get killed by the entire other team all at once”

    More like “rudder was useful if you didn’t know how to strategically position your ship in battle and you need a crutch item to get yourself out of trouble”.

    I hate to say it but I agree here. High agility is awesome but took me months upon months to get used to, and I've yet to fully master it.

    The rudder helps/helped you strategically position your ship in battle.

    Yes, and this code can also help your team chase down that final enemy speeder, who would normally hide and waste everyone's time until the match time runs out.

    Why do I want to take months to feel as if I've mastered a ship. I'm more than a casual player and this update is discouraging me from playing because it feels as if all the skills I've built up until now means nothing it not much
