Pre-nerf:

Speed +9%, Damage +27%, Thrust +27%, Hull Space +9%, Tracking +9%, Range +9%, Hostility +27%, Critical Hit Percentage +27%, Critical Hit Strength +27%, Resistance to Damage -5%

Post-nerf (given stats on test server is accurate)

Speed +9%, Damage +27%, Thrust +27%, Hull Space +9%, Range +9%, Hostility +40%, Critical Hit Percentage +27%, Critical Hit Strength +27%, Resistance to damage -7%.

So you will loose the tracking bonus, get more hostility, and less resistance to damage.

Now to wait and see if test server stats is the same as the post-patch stats.

And I cannot believe that people have not yet moaned about this:

* Selfdamage weapons (lion incinerators and the likes), will now self damage properly on multifiring (this mean 5x more self damage if you mf 5 lincin).

And that also makes me question: What will this do to Armada Inferno Drones?

I knew that was a bug but always thought it was fixed. Ahh well, it will be interesting to see how much Lincins do now.

Nothing, considering that is how they always worked before the Sebastopol rebalance.

Nothing, because Armada Inferno Drones only use 1 lincin :p

Ah I misread, thought they had fixed the bug where you would only take the damage from one projectile, even tho your weapon had several.

Are the changes done to test server about the same as we can expect this patch to bring to the live server?

I also tested the tow-on-death option when my ship entered stasis on test server. Absolutely amazing, apart from that I crashed, but that only means I needed a client restart, which is not so bad. Good work people, you are going to make my run like a kid home from work tomorrow just so I can play with the new patch.

This. I had a nergasm when I saw the wiki reaver aug stats... the only thing that stopped it from being the best aug ever was that sniper prawns already have too much agro.

Still kind of disappointing though.

put the +9% tracking back in and ill be happy XD

Simply counter too much hostility with the argument I made ages ago on berserkers ability to hold hostility and how broken *(evil) gear/weapons is.

Sooo your zerker draws over 500k hostility?

One of my setups solely made for holding hostility does.

It's a Wattage Zerk?

Of course, by now you should know that my main project for berserkers is based on weapon slots and *(evil) gear.
