    Now i want to start this off by saying that i know a lot of the replies are gonna be against me cuz almost everyone in the game plays shooter, anyway

    I wanted to talk about how much easier it is for shooters to progress in this game compared to other ships

    Red items are the ones that every player in the game has the most of because they have the highest drop rate, because of there being more reds than yellows blues and greens

    And all a shooter needs is red items and a few blue items which means that he can just scrap all yellow and green items and item parts to get upgrade parts and stuff

    Compared to a fixer or the yellow ships this is so much easier than having to find reds yellows blues and for fixer greens

    Now i dont want to insult any shooters just wanted to point out that it is a little unfair

    Cheers

    It's actually one of the harder boats to progress with. But one of the easier boats to use

    You gonna need a loooot of red items though. Also, playing shooter means all those yellow items you get are useless, where as on say enforcer you can pretty much make use of almost every item (not green) that you get. Fixer is the most difficult as greens are rare to get and you need tons of them.

    Because all you do is move and shoot. But you are slow and can't dodge many shots. Can get mortar spammed easily and die quick.

    Yeah say that to someone who on top of waiting for their weapon diplicate is also waiting for a yellow dup and blue dup and green dup
    Way way easier to be a shooter

    So it's unfair for shooter to use green/yellow items and it's also unfair for shooter to scrap green/yellow items for some upgrades. How about you pick a side first then be a shitty battle bay SJW.

    Your logic is flawed. A max shooter needs to fill five red slots and three blue slots.

    It takes FOREVER to get duplicates of the red items.

    And while red items may drop more, there are way more red items you can get, thus reducing the overall chance of getting the red item you want.

    Put it another way: if I need a red sniper cannon, I have a 1 in 19 chance (about 5%) to get what I want. Multiply that by five slots and needing a bunch of duplicates, it takes forever to level up.

    Compare that to a max speeder, who has two red slots, three yellow, and three blue. Both the speeder and shooter have three blue, so that's a wash. The speeder now has the same five slots to fill as a shooter.

    But they have three yellow to deal with. And yes, they don't drop quite as much as red slots, but there are only six possible yellow items to get, which means you have a 1 in 6 chance (or about 17%) to get what duplicate you want. Don't get the right one? Scrap the yellow and you likely already have two pieces of combining for another yellow item. Overall, it means you're three times more likely to get a yellow match as compared to a red match.

    Now, do red items drop 3 times more than yellow? I don't know, but I doubt it. But I do know that you can focus on buying yellow item pieces from the market and it makes it a lot easier.

    I think shooter is most difficult to progress with simply because it is the most used ship. The most competitive ship.
    its also heavily based on the amount of dmg u can do because u dont have assist slots like yellow and green

    And getting the right equipment for fixer is very very VERY difficult. You have to juggle between red, yellow, green, and blue items.
    At least nothing is wasted :D

    I wish there was a way to block people on here, there's such a good community with a few trolls who do nothing but flame

    Shooter is more popular at low levels because the weapon gives you an advantage its easy to use an extra weapon, same with defender, it's easy to just build up huge defense but as you progress speeder starts becoming really difficult to hit. I regularly take out two slower ships by circling them and running away and repositioning when I'm the only one left, something I could never do with shooter.

    NOt right with @FALCO

    for me it's the hardest boat to up...(perhaps def the same)
    5 weapon, 3 blue slot...
    so just 2 category of item, you scrap all other... (green, yellow). shooter need a good RNG for having good weapon.
    turret and boat agility are a big problem, same for speed...
    there is no active power for counter/control like yellow/green boat. the only control of shooter is hit harder for kill faster...
    you need to train your captain to a high lvl for gain good "bonus"
    in general it's quite easy to kill a shooter with an enforcer or speeder, it's a big damage dealer but without any protection (ask every shooter here, i'm sure they afraid about enforcer focus them).

    i feel so happy with my enforcer (stay since 5month with a epic grenade T1... who care?...)... i can nearly put every yellow shit, every weapon, every blue things...people will not care about this...i will still be able to avoid majority of hit/mortar...do mass damage...and running away, i can nearly train every captain... don't really care

    i hope mk8 def and shooter will get a yellow slot, for me it should be fair.

    True, shooter is the least scary to me as I can cheap away their health points easily (enfos perspective) . And shooter is Probably the hardest ship to progress because the mobility is slow and the most used ship but it definitely scale up the longer you play with it.

    Yep well with all mobile multiplayer games there are gonna be small kids who think just cuz they have a username and nobody knows who they are they can just say whatever they want. At least in console and pc game forums there are less kids and more civilized people
