[UI] Spectrum nerf

Spectrum is currently the most powerful ship, nobody can really doubt it.
There has been single best ships in the past, it wouldn't be a problem.

But the following problems do exist for sure (the list is not complete):
1. The spectrum ability breaks the balance of fights. An example is that some spectrum users just come out of port and turn on the ability to make enemies waste their ammo.
2. Huge ammo waste. It breaks the "ammo balance". We need about 1.5-2x more ammo for fights than we used to have.
3. The dominating ships of the past only gave their user more chance to win against an opponent with the same equipment. Spectrum basicly can't lose to any other ship unless the opponent runs or does some tricks.
4. Spectrum being OP cheats people owning surgeon. Many people used a lot of resources to get surgeon. It's like an lf5 laser destroying the value of lf4.
Other ability ships are just on about the same level of surgeon.

I'm not asking for the complete destruction of spectrum. Just for a slight change.

(I know that there is a feedback thread about it but this way people can vote. And this is a separate problem from the ship balance update.)

 

Nah, I disagree. Ships like Spectrum are excellent counters to the Surgeon ships. And if you actually know what you're doing, fighting against a Spectrum should be no problem, even with its active.

The shield only blocks LASER damage. All you really need to do is put on Chevron design and use the 3030 rockets, then yea, you're back to doing high damage.

 

Since when was the ability ships not better than the Surgeon? The only adavantage Surgeon has is extra speed so can slowly outrun whether chasing other non-surgeon goli's or running away. The only difference now is that they are totally better than surgeon now since can use ability much more.

 

Idc, i don't play PvP...

IMO they won't nerf Spectrum, because wasting more ammo means wasting more money. If we waste more money, they will earn more money, so it's "balanced".

It fits obviously for newbies against hard core hunters, but the auction price is still too high, so a nerf won't affect the beginners very much.

 

No its not. just learn how to fight and counter it.
