Carriers?

j/k

Guys... with regards to "so is cc becoming blah blah"... note this is just a discussion. No further PP nerf is scheduled for cc12 as of now, AFAIK. There are FAR more important balance issues...we are getting too focused on this.

Buying adv scouts by comparison is a lot more expensive and the range is nowhere near that of a default pp anyway. Also ships only have decent scan to the front so even giga lxy scouts and bios adv with ship sensor2 are inferior to pps.

It's never been so much a matter of techpath balance as making it harder to turtle. Turtles are $#@!ing boring games and imo should be discouraged.

These sum up my views on PPs. There's no particular problem with the current int vs SF balance, other than there being too many idiots who don't know how to fly SFs. However, pulse probes are a scout's worst enemy, and there's absolutely no balance on that front.

As many people have said countless times, stopping tac starts at the aleph not with PP. The reason for a nerf in PP is the fact it takes away a lot of the stealth aspect of HTTs, SB, Ninja Bombing, where you have to be silly far away from a scout (and not just behind the scout as the probe is 360 degrees 5k range where as a scout is only 100% effective at the front)

Everyone knows I'm all for the quicker game.
