    Nah, I'm seeing it too. Especially in events, but even in normal games. I've seen Shooters unironically running 3 torps/2 mortars and the like. But, hey, it's perfect for shooters since almost none of them bother to aim anyways, so just hitting the edge of the blast does anywhere from several hundred points of damage to over a thousand. So, I get it.

    I have said the same. I think there's more mortars.

    I think that it's being caused by two reasons
    1) fewer speeders mean that mortars are relatively more effective.
    2) faster mortar speeds

    This makes enfo and defenders life tougher.
    No wonder people stick with shooter, since no matter the meta they always have upper hand.

    Spam is almost entirely related to Shooters. One Shooter can throw out more FBs than a whole team of other ships generally would, and they’re insanely popular. I don’t understand why the devs have let it get so bad. Shooters badly need some adjustment. It’s far too easy to just pump out shot after shot indiscriminately, and get good results.

    IMO Shooter should be a much more fragile ship. If you want to rain ridiculous amounts of fire down on everyone, then you should need good positional play, and make sure you’re protected by your team. Being able to run double EC and 10k hp, makes them far too durable and independent. and then they still have slots for 3 Mortars/Torps to spam with, and now a lightning fast turret to boot.

    Yeah! Shooter have too much going for it after the update. They fast as enfo, outgun and out power every ship, 2nd best helath, enough agility to hunt down speeders. With motars they can practically destroy enemy without getting any scratch. Where is the trade off??

    If they didn't activity poop on defenders every update since 2017, we would've still had some people playing it. Same goes with speeders. Everyone is moving to shooter because only way to fight spam is spam back.

    I use the shooter, but don't use the combo because spamming makes me feel even more disgusted at myself.

    Firebomb is so annoying! Get caught all the time even if I am outside the blast radius. Doesn't really happen with other mortars. No skill weapon in my opinion.

    Lol, I always thought it was just me.

    So tired of trying to dodge multiple fireboms/mortars from five shooters with my poor defender. Hey and how can you aim and hit if the other ship is behind a rock? With mortars you can! Wohoo!

    Well since I created the account to say this, I wont stop here :) If defender is supposed to be a tank give him more health and shield!

    Exactly they in their safe area behind rocks and fire at anyone who try to come close.
    We can also use motar but then we will be hopless in close range.

    Well, not anymore. In the past, the main flaw in a full firebomb load out was that if the enemy gets close, firebomb would be inefficient because the projectile has to travel it's high arc in order to travel a short distance. But now with the massive buff to flame projectile speed... Yeah you're screwed at all ranges.
