[1051] "And yes, I still maintain that the thorax is the drone boat, not the vexor. I've no idea where that idea came into effect. The thorax ship description says it is. Furthermore, the thorax has always had more drone space. But the vexor is the primary drone carrier because you guys say so? I'm not convinced." Probably because Vexor hull is given to Ishtar which is the tech.2 drone carrier, while Deimos is the tech.2 gunboat... so people want the tech.1 versions to match that ^^;; (oh and ftr i do consider Thorax without plate sufficiently fragile -.o it's just like discussed earlier, possibly no one really wants to see plates go from cruisers in general, because it'd mean other cruisers turn paper-thin as well, and again become unable to face anything bigger than them. So it's more convenient to demand drone murder... |

[1052] Edited by: Naughty Boy on 05/09/2005 02:47:26 I *think* that there is a fair share of provocation in this. Fair enough, i'll play your game. The thorax does as much damage at long range than the other tier 3 cruisers, with one less slot. Therefore, it doesn't need anymore drone bay than any of them, so at most 60m¦ as the rupture. It should also lose some powergrid as it is not fair that moa and rupture pilots do have to train the advanced weapon upgrade skill to 3 to match the damage of the thorax, whereas the thorax do not even have to max the weapon upgrade skill. It can only have another low slot if it is compensated by a loss of 15% of powergrid, or the loss of its damage bonus, since another "free" low slot would allow it to outdamage all the other tier 3 cruisers at long range. Disclaimer: all what i wrote above can be shown using calculations but is in no way something that i support. This is only an illustration that balance does not mean "everybody should get as many slots as the others". Bonuses, slots, pg, cpu, drone bay, speed, agility, sensor strenght, sig radius, and basically every possible attribute is also a balancing factor. See above. What would be the point to nerf something blatantly overpowered if it was to replace it by something equally stupidly overpowered. Aye, you got it all right. If we "sort out" ( There is some tweaking needed for plates, however bringing confusion about that into this issue makes you look desesperate. In case you didn't notice (yet), bringing confusion didn't work well so far and probably won't work any better in the future. Sincerly Yours, The Naughty Boy. Edit: removed unfriendly comment, sorry.

Garreck, its no point in trying to convice them that.. they are so set in their minds that the rax is uber because of the drones and fail to see that it is the plates that are the problem. Even when it slaps them in the face.. the rax isn't just affected by the oversized plates.. the claw is too. All we can hope for is that if the bay is reduced, us rax pilots get our 2 extra slots in return. (and for the record, i agree with what you say.) |

I don't know if you know about the "falsifiability" principle of Popper. I'm not willing to lecture people about it, but it would be something really interesting to use in this case. I'd like you to admit that you are wrong, but i can't find a way to do it. It is, either, because you are right, either, because you do not admit being wrong despite being wrong. Either, do i have to admit that you are right, either, i have to ask you which experiment would actually be able to determine that the drone bay is of adequate/inadequate size. Popper's principle says (sorry for the approximation, english is not my mother language) that if something cannot hypothetically be proven wrong, then it is not true either. I am ready to make the calculations, including reasonable random factors, on basis of an experiment that will be able to show which theory about the thorax (drone bay, plates) is actually the right one. You just have to describe the experiment. The catch is, and that's where things gets interesting, the issue of your experiment cannot be determined by another factor(s) that what we are discussing.

You didn't actually do anything to convince anybody, how could we be convinced ?

[1069] Smartbomb, jammers. Oh noes. That 'overpowered' thorax just got totally pwned. Think outside the box. Every ship has strengths, for every strength there is a counter. I personally feel that Moa's and Rupture's are vastly underrated. I'd be just as happy to take one of those into combat as a Thorax.

[1072] Edited by: ELECTR0FREAK on 05/09/2005 04:13:02 Please explain to me how a Thorax without a plate is any weaker than any OTHER cruiser without a plate? It has 2025 HP compared to the average 2050 that other lvl 3 Cruisers have. Not to mention it does the majority of its damage through its drones and thus can easily use those 5 low slots for tanking while still having ridiculous damage output. The foundation of your arguement is built upon sand. Edit- And sorry Stuart bud, a medium smartbomb will take over 40 seconds to kill the drones. During that time the drones can do over 6800 points of damage to the target. And Jammers don't work if the Thorax has its drones attack you before you jam it. The problem with the Thorax is that it has way too many advantages for its own good. 8 Heavy drones and the rampant use of 1600mm plates are the reason. -Electrofreak Discoverer of the Missile Damage Formula |

There are plenty of posts that illustrate the oversized plate problem and several videos.. some have been brought up in this very thread.. but you just ignored them, in favour of trying to shout down other post... so follow your own siggys advice and do some reading to find them.
Maybe its because it has the lowest amount of slots then eany other tier 3 cruiser, could be that the guns intended for it are too cap hungry and intensive and it could be that since its supposed to be the ulitmate in close range cruisers, that it can't tank for anything. and so on.. so i ask you.. if the drone bay was reduced, would it be acceptable for the rax to get 2 extra slots, as that would bring it inline with the maller. |
