A bit more on pulse probes

SIGNATURE

I think Adept was suggesting making SFs more manoeuvrable to compensate for a higher signature (i.e. less invisibility).

P.S. I don't think that would be good to do as it makes Tac less distinct from the other paths. If thinking along those lines, why not keep the level of invisibility the same, and reduce manoeuvrability instead?

Are you legit trying to discuss XC in CC?

I just suspect there's quite a bit of nostalgia for them, and people may want to keep them on some level. There's a world of difference between 5k PPs available to research as soon as exp is up, and 3k ones in adv exp and requiring heavy ints, I'd say.

I'm not terribly sure about the wisdom of making balance decisions based entirely on "nostalgia".

I start DN games for nostalgia. So much fun.

Especially showing the likes of heyoka and others the fun of nix.

Oh, come on... 'Nix of all things?!

I didn't put a poll on this post since I wanted to just sound out how people feel about PPs (and downgrading to the 3k version for heavies rather than removing them entirely). If you guys think it useful, I'll add a poll at the start of this thread.

I don't see any reason to remove them at this point. Let's see how XC fairs without them before we jump to any conclusions. (Yes, I realise the cores are balanced differently, but I don't see any need to rush them out just because another core did.)

PS: I don't normally comment on balance, but I think the lack of pulse probes works for XC (so far, anyway) but perhaps they're fine in CC.

Pulse Probes have been the biggest pain in the ass for just about forever, that's why Night did away with them.
