Let's remake the Defender

Bump how do u like my idea

 

I like the general concept of adding content (and working on balance) through ship-specific abilities. Otherwise it's too much to process all at once lol.

 

Might be good. But overall too long and intricate to implement and test to see if it works. Way too many variables to test and balance.

 

Let's not. Buff the ship attributes if you want or don't touch it. I don't care how many here even play the boat but I don't want my main boat to be turned into hot mess like firebomb scam nerf.
Anyone still going with dual explosive cannons need to do one thing. Replace your fire/damage perks with crit perks. Current DPS is too trashy to support damage perks and (not to mention +- 10% gives 0 fks about your rare damage perks). When your cannon has reload longer than big torpedo, you might as well maximize you chances to do double damage.
It's all about burst damage. One ex cannon crit wins 1v1 almost everytime.

Close quarters combat with rudder/lube Defender. 3 speeders swooping.

 

a very big and beautyful idea!! I completely agree, the defender really needs something that makes him better and makes him a real defender, right now it's too slow and with only 3 weapons it's sometimes very vulnerable

 

In my opinion, defenders are meant to use mortars, torpedoes, that stuff. I saw a defender with carronade and was like: bruh, WTF are you doing. Then again, all you have to do is strap on some ex cannon, big shields, and then charge into the enemy, guns blazing.

 

Personally I feel all defenders need is a ship hit box reduction, and possibly a bigger damage reduction than just defence(outdated and mostly unused) Easy fix within Brock talent tree. Problem I find with defender is with the large CD increase on EC has left them highly inactive for long periods in battles and a large open target, I would recommend a speed boost but that would be unfair on shooter and I don’t think defender should be as quick as any of the other ships.

 

New season Ended. Defenders only saw only 1 ship top 50. Oberst. He got as high as 5300.
Oato and myself were the only other 2 defenders to break top 200. We only got as high as 5100. The 3 of us can really play. But are limited by this ship.

Only 3 total again for top 200. Wow!

This is so not OP. What the oppossite of Op? Underpowered, small, horrific?

I say this more out of amusement now.

Devs please fix hit box and buff attributes of this ship, and percentage base the defense pts. Quickily.
"How long must we sing this song" as U2 would sing.

"Has the sheep eaten the flower or not"

Our defenders are the flower of the bay. And in danger of extinction.

as i said in a post of mine...stop nerfing everything, buff something else

you guys need at least 20,000 hp. your guys's defense could also need a little bit more of work as well. But when it comes down to it, ex cannon needs to get reworked back to the way it was.

 

i never object to your ideas dude! I'm always here to support you!

 

And sadden my life as a speeder, and many other ppl too
