balanced to fall on a continuous spectrum of damage and speed.

Thanks man, appreciate it.

The ship in question went from 1011 dps to 772 so it's more like 23% or something. It only does drone dps and has exactly the same drones in it as it had before.

I can't be bothered to re-read the patch notes though.

So you didn't look at the patch notes. That explains it. You should have looked at the patch notes.

You're like the kid sat there yelling Mom! Mom! Mom" while the adults are trying to speak. Go seek attention elsewhere until bed time or there's going to be no sweeties on the way home from school for anyone tomorrow.

Anyway, i think it's going to come down the the specific drones used. The patch notes say dps goes down due to the bonus from the Drone Interfacing skill, but the loss will be covered by increasing the base damage of most drones.

I can only imagine i'm using drones (not sentry) that have not recieved the dps increase, and so i get much lower dps cus i'v lost half my DI bonus..

I just banged my head on my desk so hard I split my forehead open.

Are you using Geckos? All drones except for Geckos had their base damage adjusted to compensate for the DI nerf. Geckos were introduced with their post-patch values already in place, so before the patch they benefited from both the old DI and the improved base damage.

It's interesting that all but 3 of the people who replied to this post had thousands of likes yet provided no content aside from low level sarcasm. The one person with likes still in single digits nailed it hard with no attitude.. It's like the worlds gone upside down in GD as always :D

Winner. 2 Geckos featured in the flight of 5.

Well i guess it was a tad overpowered..

Just to clarify ...

Aside from two cases - Gecko's and T2 sentries WITHOUT Racial Spec trained to V - both of which lost DPS, the DPS of everything T1 should have gone up and non-sentry T2 stayed pretty much the same.


EDIT:

The other big exception, light and medium drones on the Ratlesnake.

Except that even with all V skills t2 sentry DPS went down.

Am I the only person who noticed this?

tl;dr - OP was rude. OP doesn't have the moral high ground. OP should apologize.

Fozzie's numbers for T2 sentries indicated that only Gardes and Bouncers should have gone down, curators and wardens up. I haven't verified the math though.

hmm ... still see no reason for using wardens or curators. Garde remain best damage up close and Bouncers due to the great falloff work well with the new omni that mainly improves falloff.

Those are my tools of choice as well, though if that's common it may be the reason for the comparative nerf.

Thanks man, appreciate it.

You only missed a year of internet apparently

Just wanna appear in a Keno post :-)

If you payed a bit more attention in schoo.

..i asked in the post if it was in some patch notes. From this you can of course (being clever little soldiers)

If they want people to use wardens or curators they need to give them useful features. Give Curators crazy good tracking for example or Wardens 20% more HP might work.

Otherwise people are just going to stick with Garde and Bouncers for everything.
