A way to fix harrier issues

BiA · 8 Apr 2013, 8:57PM

right now harriers are just too OP. instant repairs means it doesnt matter if a harrier gets destroyed because it will be back out with full hp instantly. i suggest increasing their repair times to 7-10 min base repair + equipment. this will help in the FvF combat so they cant simply spam harriers at you. i also suggest cutting the battlefield area by 1/2 or 1/3 so that harriers cant just strafe with railguns to take out vega cargo or just run away for what seems like forever in FvF.

P.S. fix ship based polarons and get a radar that is actually useful please.

what does the rest of the community think about these ideas?

The maps are already really small in my opinion. The harriers are only over powered when used right.

acid1789 · 8 Apr 2013, 11:36PM

The battle area is freakin huge. Players can run forever.

And yes harriers need something done. Currently harriers are unbeatable in FvF, instant repair makes them just continuous damage ships. They do damage and dont actually take any (since its instant). Cant stop harriers.

Harriers are definitely not unbeatable. You just have to use the right weapons and a little skill in taking them down.

Id say make the plasma torps heavier so harriers can not use them.

Torps aren't the problem on harriers. It's that they can strafe for 3 mins of a 5 min battle before hitting the edge. And then if you do destroy them it really doesn't matter because they're right back out.

For me a fleet of harriers take 30m 12s to repair with only torpedoes on them :-/

My harriers with 1 torp1 and one railgun1 are exactly 4:59 minutes to repair. Yeah, I'd be ok with them not being instant repair.

The Vegas I hit only last longer than 3 mins if I screw up the initial strafe on Vegas. I have never run in to the edge of the map with them.

Hahahahaha,

BIA and Acid, stay away from the 300 section and you won't get your precious expensive 45 minute repair exodus killed by a cheap harriers fleet.

Just because you don't know how to fight with harriers don't try to take them away from everybody. Get some skills and learn how to fight with harriers.

And please, visit 300 whenever you want, we are sure having fun with you!

Mad at me, my base: 324,190,107 Open house, come on right in!

He's bragging cause he coined his reset value into 11 base torps... meh, he still can't hold down an FvF without 5 other people doing it for him. :P

Busterking · 9 Apr 2013, 1:52AM

You are so full of bs. What are you, 12 yrs old?

You also failed coming to 300, LOL

**** hurt? LOL

Sorry, I'm not the one going around to random threads talking about your adventures.

Care to mention the fact you failed against my yard as well and the fact you demonstrated absolutely no skill in my base nor in the FvF attacks that you chose to cop-out of?

Considering the fact you are the one using "LOL" as a replacement of a proper period and your assumption that everyone that does not agree with your spamming is a "twelve year old"... it would suggest you are trying to cover up the fact you are underaged for this forum site.

Busterking · 9 Apr 2013, 2:02AM

You are such a loser, at 59 I am old enough to be your grandfather. Show some respect young boy.

LOL

Oh, you forgot to mention how your visit to my base turned out. Would you like to brag about that also!

again = LOL

zys123 · 9 Apr 2013, 2:07AM

You're on the internet... you can identify yourself to be a flying walrus and just because no one can prove the contrary, does not mean that to be true.

I judge people by their competence, and something about your specific mentioning of 12 year old and the fact you are using internet talk in caps lock (Which you seem opposed to in your post from the other thread) I am seriously doubting that you are anywhere near the age you claim to be.

You gain respect by showing it.

It turned out the same as your's did. Antimatter hoard and no significant amount of important resources looted... only difference was I didn't have a pack of friends to do my dirty work for me. I trusted that my base could stand by and it did, something you simply could not put faith in... despite outnumbering my torps 1:11, pity you treat people as idiots simply because they disagree with you. Perhaps you could actually explain how your course of action was in any way greater play than mine?

I can fight with harriers just fine. Its just stupid. The harriers being as extremely powerful as they are degrades the quality of the game. Why bother building bigger ships when you can just harrier people til they get frustrated and log off.

You must have completely missed the point. They are unbeatable because they are relaunched 10 seconds after being killed. Back out to do more damage instantly.

lawl. this didnt really have anything to do with the battles i was having in 300. i enjoy smashing harriers even more so than any other ship just because they are OP. u think i care about my repairs? i send out a pvp fleet at the end of my play time for a reason. sounds like somebody is bitter that his best toys are harriers now.

Harriers are dumb it would be like epic mars. They nerfed isntant repair preds for a reason (even though it really pissed me off had 2 fleets of engine 3 fleet preds) instant damage fleets will always own fvf even if they die. I'm working on instant repair gen fleets now to counter instant repair harriers lol it's a joke. Also would mind losing 1/4 the map size. Lets start with a minor nerf first and see if it needs to change later. I mean that's the thing with space there is alot of it. Also maybe hitting the edge of map is retreating. While this would help harriers it's an interesting game idea.
