    Speeder ships have been too much nerfed.
    My infamy got dropped from 1300s to freaking 800s.
    Why nerf the ship agility?
    Even when the ship agility was at 1000, the aiming was fine as I adjusted the camera sensitivity.
    Now I can't use my tesla bolt as I used to. At a close distance, I can't easily turn the turret and I miss it 7 out of 10 times.
    It didn't use to be like that.
    Seriously, I am starting to hate to play the game now.
    Is it just me? I love this game and I've been investing a lots of time on this game.
    (I know that my fellow speeder players are considering the change of their ships.)

    I used to love playing Speeder, but I basically just want to quit the game and uninstall, when I try to play it now.

    The trouble is, there are always a couple of guys who make it into the top 10-20 playing Speeder, so it’s difficult to argue that it’s a weak ship, even when you can feel how disadvantaged it is.

    I think that the problem with Speeder is that it was originally designed to be ‘difficult but rewarding’. What went wrong, however, is that in a competitive game where people play thousands and thousands of matches, people inevitably got good with it, and then everyone complaind it was OP. But really it wasn’t ‘OP’, it was always designed to reward high skill, that’s how it was balanced. But when everyone has ‘high skill’ it starts to seem unbalanced, so they nerfed it, and kept nerfing it.

    The issue with it now, and why it annoys me so much, is that it’s very high skill, but not really rewarding at all. You’ve got to play your ass off, to still be worse than a guy who just floats there and mashes the fire button. That’s not right.

    Speeder needs a buff, and well, I'm not even threatening to quit playing it, because I no longer do lol. Used to be a speeder main, 5000+battles. Before 3.2. Post-3.2, everything went wrong. Agi means that my style of playing speeder is no longer viable. Well, bye bye speeder, I'll be playing only enfo in ranked.

    Speed is worthless now... turrets track it too fast...

    Why devs?! If you hate speeder so much, why not remove it?

    Seeing as some of them main speeder AND quite easily kick most players' collective *BASS BOOST*es, I'd say they do love speeder. Well, whatever. I ain't playing it in Ranked till it gets a buff, I keep getting wrecked in Ranked, and when I win, it's basically my team carrying me. I don't want to play a ship that does not allow me to duel even with that insane agi stat. Hit-and-run? Imma give that a miss lol

    Speeder do need a buff

    As it is a high risk boat, It should come with high return.
    But at this moment, we don't see the advantages of using speeder.

    Enforcer can deal more damage than speeder in a safety situation (double bubble plus bandage). In fact, the 2 slot explosive cannon perform quite similar to a 1 slot blast cannon after the cooldown time nerf. Meanwhile, the reload time of tesla bolt is too long. As a result, our assassin (speeder) act more like a supportive boat now which is litter bit unbalanced.

    By the way, I think that looking at statistics are sometimes different form real battle experience

    I suggest Dev can unlock every epic items of their account and try different setup to battle with players. It may helps for gaining real battle experience. I believe people would not think it is unfair because it is fun and we all know it is for better development.
    I personally think that it is much more better than giving YouTuber free epic for testing.

    Yeah. Now the turrets turn fast, you need to compensate it with more ship agility but no. They nerfed it. Freaking 80 now.
    I thought that the whole concept of speeder was fast and agile ship. I focused mainly on my speeder ship which is MK5, but I never upgraded other ships because it requires so much gold to buy parts from the store. I don't know what to do now. Even if I want to use other ships, I can't use them. I am not threatening to quit but I don't have any viable option other than quitting if the game is going to be like this from now on.

    I think there are a couple of things counting against speeder at moment.
    Obviously agility and turret speed of the other ships. But also the recent speed buff of some weapons plus speedy perks.

    I think there is a secondary effect of fewer speeders, I'm starting to see more mortars being used.

    That's sad. Less speeders when you want to make game fast paced or action packed.

    It's not a massive increase yet, but I think there is an increase.
    It is a logical chain reaction of having fewer speeders.

    Highly possible.

    I ditched my grenade in favour of my flare this morning. There were top NML speeders online, and I got beat up by ckim because I simply couldn't go all out with my double blast 'nade. Made me realise that I had been encountering very few speeders in the weeklong event.

    Went from 1200 to 700ish after the update. Like TheAntiSnipe, I have switched to enforcer and shooter now cause I don't see much point in playing speeder anymore.

    I also hate that shooter can freeze me as a speeder.
