tell you what you guys wont be happy till all skills are wiped to zero and its just items that give the bonus's


I'm a SD and i cant do any top end stuff at all and i do know how to play this game

if anyone's firing at range as a SD then there is a loss of other skills some may choose to aug that way

my Rossie goes 268 that's with max in micro warp too so where you get this 500+ speed i dunno.

whats broken is the constant slagging off other skills in a hope of trying to change game content.

(who all of them are broken as hell, have 500-650 hull, fit PoT, go 500+ speed, do more dps than any other skill, and have more dpe than any other skill too in a LF).

indeed, Sd LF's need a looking at, wtf is this +1% hull bonus anyway

Can you make that just affect SD then, and not recon focus. Otherwise seers will not have any space, and trust me, we pretty much have to use a LF.If your goign to remove it from recon focus, at least add it as a seer skill.

I meant "in addition to", not either or. I doubt Recon Focus will lose the hull bonus at this point. Oh, and by the way Lich, you will be losing your expander in the next patch (it will be freighter only), so better start rethinking your setup.

Both the Zeus+ and the Alby aug are insanely good indeed.

SD is broken by a few different things, mainly that it is still very easy to be good as SD with a heavy fighter skill wise.

The Zebra:
Theres no viable weakness to it, the only resists that are under 45% is radiation and transferrence, neither of which are used by AI or players for that madder. Has the most hull of all HF's, is 2nd fastest of all the HF's (margin of 5 from the reaver [dont count super phunka]). The mere fact that it has so much space allows people to use Giga GnT's and OS or Giga engines.

The Zeus+ aug:
Stats of Zeus vs Zeus+:

Differences:
+5% damage, +4% energy recharge, +15% range

Due to the fact that 0% of the energy given by this aug is taken away by other stats on it, it allows for powering of extremely high EPS weapons (such as TT+) at high ROF. The range bonus given from a normal to a + is a bit excessive.

Looked at against the alby aug:

Alby in the end only gives ~25% extra elec (assuming AT 23, IT 3) vs 79% (assuming AT23, IT 3). The range is negligably different from the Zeus+. The ending DPS is +43.56% for the Alby and +69.3% for the Zeus+ (AT23, IT 3). Overall, shields are not that big of deal, due to the fact that a PtE can give just the same effect, if not better if shields are needed. The biggest gain for an Albatross Aug is the tracking it gives, and due to the fact that it is a rare uber drop and requires an even rarer skill to get, it should have a little over the Zeus+.
