The changes sound good, but are we not testing any changes to NG SB?

Official response from lead men on subject!

Well that was in reply to asking if it was going to be in CC_05. I see no reason we can't take a look at it for CC_06 and will update my first post with it.

I just had that in here because someone asked about NG in 05

TF defence-whorage should get nerfed as a highpriority.

- Lead-indicators are overpowered, cause every noob can aim with them.
- Also PlasGen 3 spam is too powerful and boring: No aiming or any skill required to kill enemies.
- Adv ships' effective firepower is very similar to Giga's lxy stuff, but they don't cost any money
These points make TF better than any other faction on defence in an average PUG. The average team can quite easily defend vs any endgametech (bbrs, htts, Galvs/figbees get outwhored + cheap hvy scouts vs tac), what makes TF nearly unstoppable, if it gets Adv Tech up.

in short: TF requires no skill and their adv tech is overpowered, plz nerf it.

It'd be fine if TF were superior to Giga in the late game if they were weaker than Giga in the earlier game. But they're not. Why would anyone go Giga if TF is available?

Yes, it hasn't been true since DN 4.4X or whenever carriers were nerfed. Giga Tac is still useful if you can defend though.

Dreg figs need to get a little bigger.

for some ununderstandable reason rix never get affected by changes, and they are far away from balanced.

What evidence do you have that Rix are not balanced? On paper, they seem overpowered, but in practice, their ships and tech are hard to use properly, and they don't seem to win a disproportionate number of games. Not to mention that until faction win/loss stats are back up (which, it seems, might be a while) any discussions about factions needing overall nerfs will be based on guesswork and feelings (I mean, obviously some specific techs might still be argued to be unfair/"cheese," but arguing an entire faction is unbalanced is... kinda hard right now).

There's no specific evidence here that rix sbs are overpowered (though I think Adept's earlier idea about adding a station warning to the station pods is good), nor that rix tech cost is too low. Better get your Warnhammer, spidey!

This is already in CC_05.
