    I know the feeling. Way back, I was 3.8k infamy in a mk6 emforcer with nothing but a t3 epic big shield. That's like, 6k HP. Basically, speeders over there had like waaaaay more HP than I did. I just got smacked down after that.

    I think that a part of the problem is the agi update and the subsequent projectile speed update.

    Sure, agility is good. But +10% to projectile speed, combined with the massive indirect nerf to those brawler type speeders, resulted in the spam we see today.

    And the way I see it, there's no need for us to have an "Us vs Them" attitude with respect to shooters. We have a common problem. Hey, you, that enfo over there, you have a problem with mortars even with your OB? Well, shooters have that problem too, 'cept they don't even have OB. Defenders, y'all getting berta'ed into oblivion? Shooters have the same problem, they also have less HP to tank those hits, even if they have a little more speed.

    Point I'm trying to make is, it isn't a "Shooters vs Everyone" thing, it's "Mortarspammers vs Everyone" for the most part.

    Let's all unite, and agree that we're for the most part facing the same problem! The firebomb, mortar spam needs to stop!

    Bro.. there is no point in making this a personal issue. Many others agree with the thread. Its not only my perspective.
    Also i have read all the comments against the nerf but its already mentioned that this thread is not a debate.

    I'm not sure I'd agree with people who are asking for a ship nerf when they refuse to say how long they've played said ship.

    These sorts of actions led to the speeder fiasco.

    Bruh it's only a 5% nerf. That's 50/1000, that literally does nothing to nerf enforcer

    Me too lol. Aside from that, I have experience with a mk5 in events. Which is why I can confidently say that mortar spam is every class' problem.

    If the real issue is mortar spam then increasing GC would be one way to solve that. If they did +1 second for every weapon equipped to the ship it would also be an indirect nerf to shooter. The problem with this though is that it strays from the faster paced gameplay the devs are going for.

    No matter what i say, there will still gonna be disagreement.
    Still I didn't play much as a shooter, i think everyone knows i am enfo main. Now you can agrue that i am saying bs without knowledge. Go ahead. But know this is off topic for this thread. I know how nerf thread goes, this is not one of them.
    You can make another one for that.
    For those who believe in me, I am an observer and do have a good perspective of the game. Even without Spam, shooter is too much out of its role. It should be fragile to compensate for its overwhelming dps. More power, less health.

    I think the issue here boils down to matchmaking. If you have high infamy but low gear score your opponents will seem more like tanks as opposed to playing with similar gear score ships where everything is balanced better.

    Well I don't disagree with you, nor am I a fan of calling people out for no good reason.

    All I'm saying is that you should play shooter more. You know what they say, "Takes one to know one"

    Me too. I'm almost 3k infamy, yet 3 out of my four shields are rare and one of then is even a t3. My only epic shield was also only a t2 until a few days ago. And I still use a t2e weapon lol.

    Silly thread 0/10.

    First you start crying offtopic on every counterargument. Then you say many people agree with you. No tomatoes
    If you start dismissing every disagreement as offtopic then what's the point of saying that people here agree with you?

    Anyway, this thread is basically safe space for yellow boats. We should stop hurting their feelings with common sense. I'm out.
