Unless i'm already using another damage type for a different (non-halloween content) reason

Who's trolling who? I use exclusively mining for combat, but do you really expect me to give up my setup for what should be a perfectly reasonable suggestion? Allow me to sum up so far:

ME: I'd really like to not have to completely change my setup to do halloween content that's meant to be fun! Wouldn't that be cool?

YOU: Herp Derp No Content shouldn't be fun you should have to jump through 7 hoops to do fun content!

ME: But-

YOU: NOOB JUST CHANGE WEAPONS

Oh yes, because a legit level 700 gunner would totally have two jiji's lying around in storage...

/facepalm

Except no other class is as crippled as gunner is...because unless we use mining damage, we lost something like 70% of our dps


Mining missiles? Do 100% more damage. Mining weapons? Do 60% more damage! Combine the two and you get even more damage! Take away mining and the class gets...let me calculate this out real quick...about a 188% DPS boost. Compared to SD's 480% boost...or zerkers 700% boost...or snipers 480% boost WITHOUT physical weapons...

yeah.

You have taken this entire conversation in the wrong direction.

All i am trying to say is that you should not need to find a completely new weapon in order to kill an AI that is only for A: Fun and B: A holiday.

If there was a ship that was resistant to the damage types you use and you attacked it, would you really want to have to fly all the way back to your base, grab a new weapon, fly all the way back, kill it so it stops ruining your experience, and then do that all over again, just so you can get on with playing a game?

What i'm trying to say here is that Holiday content is supposed to be FUN, not frustrating. Sure, make it a bit weak to heat weapons, but there is NO reason to give it 85% resistances to a certain damage type, since that just pisses off the people that USE that damage type and doesn't do anything to the people who do not.

If you dont wanna change wep then u got 2 choises

1. nag at Jeff untill he puts a -500% Mining resistance on every ai

2. Go play whit Pax ships ( exept Astro)

There aren't pax halloween AI >.>

I agree with shawn. If you don't want to carry the right damage types then don't complain when things are harder to kill.

I agree with you EXCEPT FOR THIS IS HALLOWEEN AI. It's not supposed to make sense, it's just supposed to be fun! =/

I don't see why that makes any difference.
people don't kill them for fun they kill them for the drops.
+Halloween is all about the grind ^_^

I know, i ment go fight Serinetys and shit if u wanna kill stuff whit mining, if u wanna kill hallowen ai then grow some balls and turn em into Swingarm flaming cata or some other decent wep
