Hot Topic: XRM Missiles

Since this topic is becomming a huge subject in the community I am opening it up to one further and FINAL poll on this subject before the release of the next core.

This poll will be open for a week. I'd suggest you all vote. The outcome of this poll will define what we do with XRM antibase missiles.

Remove it, see how it goes. If it goes badly, re-implement it, but nerfed more. If it goes fine, keep it out

Is this the topic for discussion about it or do we keep it in the other one?

Keep it as is, or if that fails, then nerf it more. Removal is a bad idea.

When was the last time you saw XRM used in an actual game? I haven't seen it used at all for several weeks. Fig bombers are just better and more powerful overall.

I believe I said the same thing as aarm a week ago. Back when I played last I hardly ever saw it either. Pretty much haven't seen it all since CC_02 came out. So I say keep it the same.

So we want to remove an end game tech for ending games? If its deemed to powerful nerf it don't remove it. Never remove content people are actively using. That's just silly.

Quoting that because it pretty much sums it up.

I've seen it used a few times over the past week or so. Seems better balance but I think it could be just a touch more expensive per rack. From this weeks experience, it seems that both XRM and FigBbrs are close, but one is used in certain circumstances where the other isn't. OTOH, the game has been full of tardwads over the past month or so, so I doubt if that's any indication. My proposal: nerf it just a touch more, and leave it in for another 6 months. If after 6 months it is still cheese then get rid of it.

keep it the same. It's not being used too much...
