    By posting on the forums to bring it to the devs attention. :p But seriously though I'm not gonna give numbers because when I do I seem to tick people off that way.

    Sorry I dont agree, cannons are not a problem in my opinion.
    They are not shot through walls, people have to at least come out of cover and get a direct line of sight to be able to damage with a cannon.
    For me the mortar users which sit behind a wall and spam mortars for the entire game are a much bigger issue.

    Im a f2p and this post is joke the burn combo f2p speeders like us are already nerfed hard. just because u use torp,mines mostly doesnt mean u should kill remaining speeders like us.We all know a f2p who focuses on mines and torps will have a hard time againest speeders and enfos with canons...it doesnt mean u should nerf them.. try building the combo for yourselves instead of nerfing the already nerfed explosive canon

    The fire combo is the answer, the last remaining answer, to mk6 shooters at 10k HP. F2Ps can achieve godly DPS levels with it, I get 3200+ on a single burst. The reason the combo exists is because it is the only answer P2W will understand. We can punish you with four-digit damage. Because you can take it, we're gonna give it to ya.

    Nerf fire, people will be mad enough to quit for real. I for one will be, my dps output is the only thing keeping me alive in Ace 1 as an F2P. Skillbased? Ha! Don't make me laugh. P2Ws have raw damage and crit damage talents equipped. P2W don't like using fire unless they are in yellow boats. The fact that the damage can only be amplified when your target is on fire means that the penalty for missing is terribly great, trust me on this. I'm often the only one on my team with incindieries.

    Personally, I believe that nerfing fire any further will be the last straw for the average F2P. A nerf of even 5% is ill-deserved.

    Because of your previous thread. You are just another player, who has decided that it is in no way their fault that they lose games, but it’s matchmaking or op weapons or whales. You have no facts to support your idiotic claims. The game is not dead, skill is really high factor and all weapons (exept sniper slightly) are balanced pretty well.

    Did you get that or do i need to explain in simple English for you to understand?

    So much this.

    The biggest problem for me (which has always been the biggest problem) is that Shooters have too many hp. My EC does so soooo much damage. Against Speeders and Enforcer (even Fixers), I’m practically one shoting them. But against stupid OP shooters, it still takes forever to put any damage on them, and in the meantime, they can kill you easily (because they also have EC), and a barrage of other powerful weapons.

    If Shooters got thier (long overdue) hp nerf, then I could get behind nerfing fire and frost (which has already happened). But as it stands, they’re already too hard to kill, so other ships (including my ship) will just have to put up with being made out of paper. Because the price of nerfing fire will mean these ships aren’t viable at all.

    I see a lot of 7k speeders, as well... Since I'm a 5k one I guess that is just a matter of choice (choosing standard shield and other training instead of my rudder)... I wouldn't change my yellow items for 3 weapons and 3k hp

    I have, and I already f people up with that combo. It doesn’t matter what combo I use I will kick but with it any day of the week because I know how to use my weapons. Cannons are just hardcore too op. A 10k defender gets shredded by making a simple push. I didn’t use to be like that.

    Disagreed. Cannons (all 4) are just the most reliable and accurate weapons in the game. They aren't overpowered, just super reliable. There's plenty of other weapons that make most cannons seem underpowered in terms of damage. Mines, Napalm, Big Torp, Trip Torp, Swift Torp, Carronade, Grenade, Missiles..... Cannons are just more reliable than any of them.

    A tier 4 swift torpedo does around 1300 that nearly equal to blast cannons fire damage.
    A t4 explosive cannon does 1600 1700 on burning that is nearly equal to big torp.
    Why only torpedoes should do more damage? Care to explain?

    Also, comparing Swift Torp to Blast Cannon... Swift Torp has infinite range, splash damage, 9 second cooldown, and goes under Tesla Shields. Blast Cannon is just more reliable, that is why it is more popular.

    Ok I did not ask you to be demeaning becasue that’s was very rude. I was wanting to be open with you but no, you continue to slight me and insult me. I am not idiotic at all and I don’t blame my team member so for my games that I loose I know that i f up sometimes. However, I will continue to back the unfairness of matchmaking because my ship power is at 7000, and yet I am going up against people with 14k. Plus, I’m not the only one saying this stuff about the game being dead. Every nightmare player that I have had a conversation with has said that this game is dead. I’m fact, a couple of channels have even stopped or tuned down te production of battle bay gameplay because they say the game is dead. i.e. Flying Douch Man...Keanne Shatters...Bunta...Grey Storm.

    Now apparently whenever I tell you this stuff it’s not good enough, (what’s your infamy and mk of ship?) and then you say that I’m a liar. Here’s the thing buddy, I am no shmuck. So I got every right to create a thread like this.

    I’m making this thread as well as my other threads because I want to bring support ships back into this game. Enforcers are good, but speeders and fixers need a buff. I mean if they are support, then why make them so easy to kill? If this was like a real war, then I would want my support ships heavily protected and hard to destroy. And no matter how many times people say, “well that’s what the other boat says are for, to protect the other ships” that happens less than once in a blue moon.

    Also, if you play this game and are involved in the YouTube channels known by the community, then you would know what I’m talking about. Saying that I have no idea what I’m talking about and basically calling me an idiot while other people say they know what I’m talking about makes you look clueless and like you don’t even play the game.

    I would like an apology and I’ll start by being the bigger man first and saying sorry first if I have offended you. All I wanna say is, at least I don’t barge in on other people’s threads, degrade their post by calling them names, and then become a hypocrite and not give examples yourself on why I have idiotic claims
    Exactly what I’ve been noticing as well.
