    Fixer:
    As of now at MK6+:
    Red: 2 Slots (3 points)
    Yellow: 1 Slot (1 point)
    Blue: 2 Slots (2 points)
    Green: 3 Slots (5 points)

    Proposed Change:
    Red: 1 Slot (1 points)
    Yellow: 2 Slot (3 points)
    Blue: 2 Slots (2 points)
    Green: 3 Slots (5 points)

    Reason: Fixers should be more of a support class so they should only have the most basic weapons equipped.

    Speeder:
    As of now at MK6+:

    Red : 2 Slots (3 points)
    Yellow: 3 Slot (4 points)
    Blue: 3 Slots (4 points)

    Proposed Change:
    Red : 2 Slots (4 points)
    Yellow: 3 Slot (3 points)
    Blue: 3 Slots (4 points)

    Reason:
    There is too much similarity between speeder and enforcer regarding the yellow slots and points.
    Speeders are dealing damage at the same rate and have the same red slots as fixers???? Speeders need to be a step up even a tiny one. 4 points with the same 2 slots is a good change to improve damage capability.

    Yellow slots on a speeder should be 4

    If you make it 3 you then make speeder can’t used Tesla shield or have to only use 2 itmes to use the Tesla shield.

    So a fixer should get Tesla shield and a speeder not

    I think speeder right now is perfect.

    As for fixer I think you can’t change it it’s hard but why not it might be intersting.

    I would die to get a third slot for enforcer

    But speeder with Tesla shield in the first place seems off because it's more of enforcer item. I think speeder should be speeder and be fast. Fixer change is proabably more likely than speeder change I agree. It seems more likely because more likely they would want less weapons on fixer to fit the role more. But imo most of these changes will make the role of each boat more prevalent. Nitro and OB speeders with Tesla bolt is really what a speeder speeder should use lol

    This is were i disagree. 90% of mk6 do use tesla shield. You’re unbalancing the game seriously.

    How is it unbalancing. Speeder gets 4 Red points. 4 red points. 4 RED points. Explain how that does not balance it out. The fact that your arguement is based off of what is currently in use is not really that great. If they introduced it in reverse and my post asks for the change to be from 3 yellow slots to 4, you would all be crying about how you lose all your DPS

    Because for people like Blacktail, and most flare+blast/flare+exc setups, this is a DIRECT NERF. Also, I dont think any of us speeders want this. Why don't you put up a poll?

    A change that makes it so your build is no longer optimized because you do not have the proper items is not a "Nerf". A Nerf is where no matter what you gain in a game the attributes we're lowered and nothing can be done to change it back.
    People would not cry, they would just run double ex cannon or something. The so called "meta" would simply move along to something else. If you oppose have a valid reason. I don't think having to build new items to take advantage of a change is a valid nerf arguement.

    Please, enough. Frost-torp combo is dead, we have had enough with the nerfs. As a speeder, 3 slots for red items is great, balancing with the yellow slots. I totally disagree with you and, till this thread is alive, im gonna post only negative thoughts about this.

    This is going against 40% or 50% of battle bay players. Please stop

    All you post is negativity without any sort of solid reasoning or explanation, if you just want to talk bad because oh I will need new items again, oh I don't want to spend money and stuff, then boohoo. Every new change, we have to deal with it. If you have an actual reason to oppose this then explain.

    Speeder are, alongside enforcer, the only ships that can carry yellow items. And im not talking about fixer because its purpose is to heal. 3 points for red items are the correct option, 4 points will going to make them OP. And, again, i bet that 90% of mk6 speeders are using tesla shield. You are going against so many players and that is NOT FAIR.

    And oh, “every new change, we have to deal with it”. Nerf frost-torp? Of, nerfed. Nerf cannons burning bonus? Ok, nerfed. This is why some players are quiting, and then, if this is applied by the devs, more players, including me, quit.

    Do you think is fair that, with every stupid change you make, we have to buy new items? No, that just ruins our game experience.

    I'm just imagining a speeder running frost and 2 big torps speeding around spamming them from the side or behind the enemy... lol. Or maybe even overboost + 2 nitro. Not for me, sorry

    You guys are so confused. You don't want to lose Tesla shield, oh but carrying 2 ex cannons or 2 big torps is going to be too OP. You obviously can't have the best of both worlds and that is what makes it balanced. If you think this is a NERF thread, just get out. I will no longer be replying to posts unless by new people joining the thread.

    In what world do you live? The speeder, the ship made for yellow items, and you want to remove them 1 yellow point? Sorry, but i don’t get it. Sure the devs didn’t want to create a game where u have 3 slots, 3 points and, if you want to use tesla shield, you lose 1 slot. That just do not make sense.

    I dont know if it nerfs or buffs speeders, but it's just silly and unnecessary. As for fixer, considering the 2nd weapon slot is already barely utilized in close, competitive games, this is way too much of a buff.

    Overboost+Nitro+Bolt speeder are more painful to take down than tesla shield ones,At least for me i miss hell lot of shots on nitro speeder and rare tesla shield sucks anyway.The thing that miku suggested is buff to a speeder(2 slotted 2 weapons) but it also makes restrictions for a speeder; like enforcer restricted to 2 slotted weapons/Bandage and Fixer to a Big shield/Bandage...Speeder has no restrictions currently in terms of item equippings and it is a top boat,so +1 for speeder idea....
