So, make blasters the opposite of ACs. They are all optimal, with no falloff. Say 2x optimal to start, and nerf the falloff down to say, 10% of original.<br />I fly Gal almost exclusively, and while extra tracking is nice (but I tend to fly tracking-bonused ships anyways), the biggest problem with blasters is that by the time you get to optimal to apply that face-melting damage, your face is already melted off. The problem is that it's far too easy for others to FORCE your hand and make you fight in falloff (unless you're lucky enough to get a 0 warp-in)... huge optimal buff would help that at least somewhat.<br />I think you'll find with a tracking buff that people are gonna be crying when skilled blasterMega pilots are one-shotting dessies and cruisers, all without loading up on tracking enhancers or comps.Hong WeiLohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14702284760088727892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805133248596408088.post-12525929884210843222011-10-28T10:17:16.776-07:002011-10-28T10:17:16.776-07:00I'm pretty happy about blasters and rails too....I'm pretty happy about blasters and rails too. I always liked the faceraping DPS of blasters, but hated how you had to be almost at zero on the target to apply it.<br /><br />I'm happy about the changes to minnie t2 ammo also. Hail is getting a buff if I remember right. Now it'll be uber powerful and give a tracking bonus. Gone will be the days of RF Fusion, maybe even RF Phased. RF EMP will probably still be around though since minnie t2 ammo is exp/kinetic though.Truen1ghthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14658827203515387622noreply@blogger.com
