Are you open to considering an alternative philosophy, say that Crit should be a tradeoff, like ROF and Damage currently are? Where you either have a ton of Cstr and no Cper, or near full Cper, and no Cstr.

The crit tradeoff works a little differently because, unlike damage and firing, the two crit stats are directly multiplied together. Having zero rof bonus doesn't make you do zero damage, but having zero crit chance invalidates any amount of crit strength. I'm informing you of this because I am not sure what else to say to this question. You can already tune your setup to focus on crit chance or on crit strength (for example, using Cunning of Hermes augmenter).

Also, i would like to disagree with you on the reaver, that is one of the worst augs in the game to get. Its power was compensated by the mission chain involved to get it. Enk, you have a very bad habit of looking at power alone and ignoring requirements. Nerfing the Reaver because it is to powerful is like nerfing the Elephant because it is more powerful then the Big Roswell.

I don't agree with your assessment of the difficulty of obtaining this augmenter. Maybe it's hard for a T19 player, but it's a joke for a T22 player and we were having T22 players using this aug. Even as a T20 Speed Demon I had absolutely no difficulty obtaining it. In any case, even if it WERE unreasonably difficult to obtain, that would still be no justification for it being overpowered even three techs above its own.
It might be a justification for nerfing the difficult of obtainment, but again I don't agree with your assessment of that difficulty.

Third, will there be a crit Percent boost mod in the new mod system?
Yes.

Reaver aug is literally one of the easiest augs in the game to get. As f2p or p2p. I farm the kills on my scout ship with a missile launcher when teammates need them, because the EF ships and trader ships you kill to get them can't outrange a missile launcher...

And the last time you did that was? Cause the last time i fought a EF ship, it spammed missiles at me till i died.

Like a fucking month ago.

And you jammed the AP missiles how?

* Paxian Battle Frigate has had its Shield and Energy augmods reduced to 200% each.

The PBF shield and energy are cut roughly in half by the nerf. Do you consider this ruined?

lmfao


yes

Sorry, the ship was never meant to be so tanky. It's supposed to be a lightly armored frigate. Jeff was actually shocked to learn that its shield and energy bonuses were higher than pretty much any other capship.

lmfao


yes
