I said this isnt about moaning about something being too powerful, its about how it cancels or minimises a requirement for teamwork whereas every other endgame in other factions requires at least 4-5 players on the job.

my response to rix sbs

they can be devastating

and they can be immensely sucky

it really depends on the availability of base defenders.

I have increased their station pod arm time by 1 second. and I have enabled the station at risk flag to go off, because yes , you can drop pods, uneyed. and if you do this, uneyed, yes they are devastating

we've all seen rix sbs solo tech bases, but that is because nobody was defending, the most likely scenario is, a couple people are waiting for sbs to attack, and they defend the base

My changes, you can still drop pods uneyed, but as soon as you drop one, the station at risk warnings are sent out, alerting enemies
on the flip side, I am considering making the pods more accurate because they suck versus small bases, like teleports, because their accuracy is terrible, and there is no reason you should not be able to solo a tp in a rix sb, because any other sb can usually 2 missile kill most tps

I thought we did that once, and reverted it, because it resulted in "station under attack" warnings that never went away even after the pod expires/got killed.

o rly?

lol spunk "quite impossible". what a voob

good luck doing that when I have full exp and @#(!ton of distance to play with.

Random thought/

What about using the flag from teleport probes and adjusting that?

It only fires once but it'd I suppose fire off with each drop, unless you fixed that.

Yes, that's viable approach too, it could check and see if the source is a TP probe or not.
