    Basically just a suggestion to change the tartar.
    Currently, the tartarus is about the same as a goli, except with 2 less lasers and no skill designs. The problem with this comes the tart activates its speed ability, giving it 80 more speed than a goli, which means:
    It can escape a goli
    It can hunt downa a goli

    It can outrun/hunt down any ship.

    This is pretty unbalanced, so a suggestion from me is as follows;
    How would this be achieved? Simple! Just make it so tartarus drones have no effect while using ability or make it not able to attack players while ability is running.

    That way you can still use it for some pvp, but no more chasing after people with an insane version of the pusat, as you will either have speed and normal lasers or slowness and shield.

    Also, tartarus ship class is 'heavy fighter' and normally, a heavy fighter shouldn't be running faster a recon class/other fast ship.

    currently its glitched, they know it, it'll be fixed at their usual pace but it'll be fixed eventually for sure. see what you think after that?

    honestly i dont think a ship is what they need to do right now, their focus should be maps so players have something new to do again
     
  3. When hearing this word, I imagine a big, fat, flying island, which has tons of HP, creates a true hell storm of rockets and shut down every other tanky ship after a longer time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartarus) ...but ok, it has less HP, it's small and is fast as hell...
     
  4. More of the isssue is the 40% speed boost it has no cooldown time its just run it for aslong as you want to the real problem is boxing is impossible now with this new ship there going twices as fast then a vegy with there speed boost there stealing all the boxes cant box anymore like thank u DO you killed boxing for anyone that dont own that ship thank u.spears and pusants are useless now extremely useless,first time I ever felt like why am even playing this game next thing u know cubing they mess that up too then the only way to get things done is to what pay? jesus Do get your heads out of the clouds.

    they killed the game by making boxing harder? really? how bout complete ignorance of player requests. how about making the game more and more expensive without giving us any extra income. how about all the updates theyve done for the past few YEARS that no one asked for yet they still screwed up? this is why i hardly play any more. the game just isnt fun. they havent added anything new for free players in since pirate maps. i know theyve put out gates and assembly but gates arent free, they take time or money to get in so those dont count. and assembly? thats a bigger more idiotic mess than lf4s and those killed the game.
     
  6. The whole point for people owning a vengy was for its speed. They brought out the pusat which was faster and holds more lazers but has less HP, which made PvPing more of a fairer battle with goli ships. As the standard vengy was too weak. The tartarus ship has both fire power and speed. In my opinion this ship does not fit into the games dynamics. It can outrun anything and not just a little bit, but with a lot more speed.

    They once let us put sep on speed gens, but they quickly took that from us. Saying that it would unbalance the game. So what do they go and do, bring out a ship that has sep built in. On their last twitch feed they say the tartarus is balanced because of the lesser damage that it does. However the damage is not enough to warrant the speed it can achieve. Coupled with the rocket launcher skill that closes the gap of said lesser damage.

    Thus making the tartarus hard to shoot down unless the other person also has a tartarus. All they need to do if they are in danger of being shot down is to use the speed ability. No skill involved just money and uri. Basically its too fast for the game as it is now. The DEV team ask for our feedback and I have seen this feedback and all say the same thing. "Its too fast". What is the point in having feedback if it just gets ignored? I am sure the people that have purchased this ship will all say that is speed is ok, but they will say that because they also know that it is too fast but they want that unfair advantage.
     
  7. In UBA i got in with a tartarus running the speed ability laying a bunch of mines i couldnt chase the guy or keep up in my goli. The ship is very over powered with speed i think that the speed should have a cooldown like the lightning vengi and the citadel.

    I changed post as someone in chat made a good point:

    If drones are busy increasing speed of ship, how could they provide damage + shield? Diane take sense.
     
  9. The drones don't increase the speed of the ship. Its just the ships ability. If you are referring to the docking visual, it is just a visual.
