MOS DEF 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.11.08 10:03:00 - [1] The idea behinf it is right because sabres are simply to fast. I fly one and everytime i board it makes me laugh because it is so bloody overpowered. The problem is that it is a very poor nerf. This nerf hits the sabre but also all the other dictors. Seriously - did the eris need a nerf? Polycarbs are broken. Very badly so. Maybe they should fix the source of the problem instead of nerfing a whole ship class by looking at symptoms. Polycarbs make many ships imbalanced - not only sabres. If you have the cash to invest 100 mill into speed you can nano up pretty much anything. There is working nano cerberus setups out there. That's just bloody ridiculous.
MOS DEF 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.11.16 10:28:00 - [2] Originally by: Johan Quinn The attitude of CCP and its Devs SUCKS. The Sabre itself sisnt the problem, its the ******* implants and rigs that make them stupid fast. I fly dictors, including a Sabre and to get it going over 5km I need to spend: 35mil on the ship 80mil of Polys 100mil on a Gisti MWD Lots of cash on implants. Not being funny but when you spend that much dosh, I should be able to go super fast. A Sabre with normal t2 fitting and no rigs gives you just under 5kms without gang bonus. This is NOT fast. ITs the frigging speed implants and rigs that need changing, not the damn ships. With these changes the dictors cant even do what it says in its description: STRIKES AGAINST FRIGATE SIZED VESSELS. they should change it too: DICTORS ARE CRAP AGAINST ANYTHING. FFS a Vaga and even a stabber SHOULD NOT be able to outrun a smaller a lighter ship!!! I do agree that they should be slower than Ceptors (although with the new changes to them the Crow is near invincible). Slowest speed of the dcitors should be around 360-380ms period. This change is ASS! That's simply not true. A sabre with 2 cheap aux rigs and only rogue implants and a tech 2 MWD goes 5.5k in a gang. Sabre needed a massive speed nerf. The problem is how they done it. Seriously - did the Eris need a nerf? They should've focused on polycarbons first for sure because the ridiculous 10k+ sabres only got hat fast with those AND they break tons of other ships. Nanoishtar anyone? Personally i can live with the dictornerf. It's a gangship and was never intended to solo hunt down ceptors. It's not it's role. My problem is that they do this but totally ignore the polycarbon problem. Why do they "fix dictors" but allow my huginn to go 4k/second still?
MOS DEF 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.11.16 12:04:00 - [3] Originally by: xHomicide Honestly, the sabre's speed isn't even that amazing as it stands. Its not even the fastest dictor. Anyways...none of the dictors are that amazingly fast. None of them compete with the speed of ceptors, like some people seem to suggest. Currently their speed sits between a ceptor and a cruiser...as one would assume. Post patch dictors will have the speed of cruisers, with the hp of a destroyer :\ Sadly, I have no idea why they would actually want to do this. I guess it is to add even more specialization than eve already has...which is pretty over the top already. As it stands dictors are there 90% for their tackling. If you drop several hundred mill in implants and rigs you buy the ability to watch the fight from on grid. Come back to reality. Sabres can do close to 6k without polycarbs or snakes. 10k with snakes. Yes a vagabond ca n do that too. That does not mean that dictors are too slow. That only means vagas are too fast or any polycarb ship for that matter. Ships are too fast in general atm. Ceptors should be faster then dictors. Dictors should be faster then cruisers. That's what is happening after the dictor speed nerf. The only cruiser reaching dictor speed after this nerf is the vagabond.
MOS DEF 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.11.16 16:59:00 - [4] Edited by: MOS DEF on 16/11/2007 17:02:13 Ever thought about why they do this. Dictors are vital and extremely dangerous with their bubbles. Maybe the devs want to give people a chance to kill them. As it is you cannot. Got 220 kills on my current sabre and still going. I am not a great inty pilot. Wouldn't you think that is wrong? Just a bit? Everytime i activate my sabre i laugh my ass off because it is so overpowered. I can't believe they let it run loose for that long. Yes this nerf hits the other 3 dictors harder then it should. I don't agree how they done it either. I do think though that there needed somethign to be done. Edit: And i don't even use overpowered polycarbs on mine. Just cheap auxiliary + nanos setup is all it takes right now.
