if you people are going to whine about weapons, then you really shouldn't be playing online.
Take a wild guess at why I haven't played online for months now. And won't again until I find a server that not only bans them, but is modded so that no one can possibly get them. If that never happens, so be it, I'll stick to SP.
nomad weapons are open to everyone, and are just as fair as all weapons. i could say the same about dbs. they are alot better than say, justice MKIIIs.
How do you define "better?" That depends on what class ship you use. Justice III's are not the best weapon within their class, true, and you would be rather stupid to use them on a c10 ship. However, there are weapons in the same class(c3) that are more dangerous. Also, if you take a look, Justice III's drain very little energy- because they do very little damage. DB's do a truckload of damage, and use a truckload of energy. Nomad guns do a truckload of damage, yet they use less energy than the peashooter Justice III's. Get it yet? There is a directly proportional relationship between damage and energy- the more a weapon hurts, the more it drains. That even goes for missiles, as far as paying to replace them goes. But not for Nomad weapons.
just beacuse a weapon is the best doesn't mean it's bad.
When it makes any ship in the game not capable of using it less useful, and renders certain other weapons and tactics that would otherwise be effective useLESS, yes, they are bad. Bad for game balance, which is skewed enough in favor of higher class equipment.
if they took away the nomad weapons, then there'd be other weapons that are better, and people would whine about them.
There are always people who whine about nothing. No other weapon has the same advantage Nomad guns have without a significant drawback to go with it. Therefore, complaining about Nomad weapons being unbalanced is legitimate, whereas complaining about other weapons is not.
the circle continues and it ends up in a full communism, which is no fun for even a communist such as myself.
What in the bloody burning hell does communism have to do with weapons in a video game?
so if you don't like being attacked with nomad weapons, then suck it up because they arent going away.
I already do not play online anymore because of them. And I won't "suck it up" unless told to by someone with real authority(i.e. a moderator).
i hate seeing posts whining about how one thing is better than the other.
What, don't like the truth? Game balance is not a minor issue. A properly balanced game has longevity, while a poorly balanced game rarely survives as long.
just because a weapon is the best doesn't make it unfair.
We heard you the first time, no need to repeat yourself. You're wrong there, by the way.
if you think it isn't fair on mp, then load a sabre with 4, and see just how much fun it is to kill random things at your own whim. i suggest you all try it!
Been there, done that. It bored the hell out of me. Can't speak for others, but there's much more satisfaction in getting a kill with something you need to think more about using. I'm rather fond of mines and LFs for that reason.
so suck it up, wimps!
End the post with a flame...what a way to get people to like you.
