Combat ships should be better at combat than a multi-role, how weird.

multipurpose ships are outclassing ships designed for Combat. That should not be the case. At all.
I can't help thinking that a lot of problems would be solved simply by getting rid of SCB's completely.
No SCB's, one less thing to get riled up about on the forums, a LOT of opportunity for everyone to rethink their fighting strategies.
The current beta might be a good opportunity for FDEV to erase SCB's for a patch or two, and see how that affects the gameplay

I wouldn't want SCBs to get hit by a giant nerf hammer until the shield recharge times are tweaked. That's just a horrible design decision, and rather than calling SCBs the root of all evil, I find that just this flat 1 MJ/s across all ships is what causes the problems. Give each ship its own value and you'll get a whole new balance tool altogether! Or bind it to the PD, or the shield generator, or whatever. Just, you know, not that.
Good post and excellent point.
I've often wondered what if...
1) SCB's didn't exist
2) Shield recharge time was boosted by assigning more pips to SYS
In my opinion that would be far simpler than what we have now. To me it's logical and in-keeping with the power-management philosophy of the game mechanics, and I've often wondered why it wasn't just as simple as that.
That statement right there is laughable, PvP player groupies is what they really are after all.
Elite Dangerous PvP groupies code of conduct:
usually consist of four or more Cmdrs terrorizing local population at the communities goal, they always go for the weakest prey if available preferable a T9 or a lonely fighter.
Typical load out for such act of heroism are rail guns and PA, while their fearless leader occupy your time with their space tank, whenever they are flying alone they usually turn the blind eye and let you have a party on their home system.

I am in no rush to earn the largest ships, its not a competition, after 18 months of playing a lot my Python is the biggest ship I have, and I don't have many ships.
I think you tried to win a game that can't be won and ruined it for yourself by rushing it, that said there is more to come..
PS
Regarding Clans etc

Oh noes the end of the world is nigh, how will I survive, woe is me
.Oh what are those other options? "solo" & "groups", you mean I can avoid these "clans" that will "Armor up and kill every single commander we meet".
Nitek [pl] Triadius, tell me where you minor faction is based, I will undermine you in solo, land at your station, cover your toilets with clingfilm, steal your ship and fart in your general direction, you have earned it (I am not just talking about this thread), and guess what buddy, you can not so a single thing to stop me
Oh yeah, we know a what FD think about clans don't we....

Rofl, it has to be a virtual +1 as I can't rep you again so soon, that was nearly a nose cannon moment.
LOL
Bud, I cannot +rep you again right now. But thanks, that was awesome.
You've had me in fits of laughter tonight.
trade off, that's brilliant. The way I handle Thrudds tool with my massive hold would put him to shame.
Wait, that doesn't sound right....... !
Lol, no I won't, just lol!

So it's cool to destroy it for us.
No, that is not what is being said because the changes affect everyone.
What you need to do is adapt to a different set of circumstances.
Consider it a challenge.
SCB's are a pain in my backside and I don't/won't use them... Doesn't mean to say I want rid of them. Some "pilots" need to hide behind them to get a glimpse of what's about to take them down.
The closest I get is Shield Boosters which make my shield stronger, yet also stop working if the shields are depleted. x2 of those and x2 Point Defense. No Chaff, No SCB.
Yes, I've died a few times in my nice 'spensive Clipper, but won't most decent pilots agree with me, that it is part and parcel of the game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. It's all tactics, With or without SCB's. If I keep my ship in a position where you can't shoot me, oh look, instantly your SCB's are "useless and not powerful enough". Poor old me with no SCB's kicking your weak little asps.
My vote: Leave the smegging things alone!
If you can't stop going on about not winning, play a game that you CAN win.
This is how the game is for me since day 1. I don't yet have the largest ships nor do I WANT the largest ships, I can't see myself flying something with the turning circle of England... At the same time there is no player story: you have to RP it, which instantly means affects on your play style.

Adapt by....................not flying large ships??? (if taken out of context I apologies - haven't read the whole thread ;-) )
You have no idea how likely that is to work. if all of these cry-babies got out of their big non-maneuvering getting-shot-at class ships and got into something more fighter class, they might win some fights.
+rep for talking sense.
