Belters Exp Part II

My vote: fine as is.

Since that wasn't an option, I went with "force people to comm them." Not only would they probably come to the same conclusion, but it would give me more opportunities to fly my favorite faction. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

the issue is, belt figs are better then belt ints, I can get similar hull, more weapons, and ripcord ability

And because Belter Figs don't have the same sort of acceleration or booster speed that the Belter Int has, there's less overboosting and thrust compensation while flying.

IIRC....

And the sidethruster perk is actually noticeable, for other faction's figs have something <1 for side/backthrust modifier and belts have 1, making them have even better sidethrust motion (and dare I say, better accel... belts with better accel, that's a lil broken but it's std)... while it's int has the same side/backthrust modifier as every other faction... = 1, which with the mass nerf makes it very noticeable when competing against other ints.

For the common pilot being able to decel easier would help more.

For those who are skilled it won't matter as Belt's Exp is pretty cheesy already

Belters Expansion is fine like it is. They have 2 other VERY STRONG techpaths to follow...

Just because you can't turn on a dime and boost in circles dogfighting doesn't mean it needs a change.

Like I've been saying, on paper the stats for Belters Exp is fine (15min HTTs or whatever), it's just absolutely never played, and it isn't fun for the pilots. It doesn't need a "fix" per se, just a small tweak to make it more playable.

Unless of course, as I will repeat again, the community doesn't care whether certain techpaths are played or not.

I did Belters EXP 5 or 6 times this weekend. Never even came close to getting beaten

I was owning belter figs in my TF scout the other day, people need to learn to fly /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
