Sir Braben please listen to me. I'm sorry I was being selfish. I would like all ships besides the Fas Fdl Ani Corv and Cutter to receive a buff. That would solve the whole issue of the AI is to strong. Everyone would be really happy. People that have walked away would come back. You would see more money in the future I'm sure of it.

i literally roflmfao...

Personally i just hope we'd get extra module slots or introduce Mark II,III,IV,V versions with more module slots. Every since beta till now, we've had increasing variety of modules available but the total module slots remain the same.

Yes I do believe most of the ships need a buff now. The approaching threat is going to really put a damper on things. You buffed the AI so why not buff our ships.

1) that is the point of engineers
2) buff our ships and you buff npc ships

Ai ships were not buffed. The ai was. Initially they were perhaps over engineered but that has been pulled back somewhat now.

I understand that the engineers were designed to buff our ships. But if you think everyone in this game has the time on there hands to galavant across the galaxy facing insurmountable droves of pirates and bounty hunters. Then your living in a fantasy world. I'm not asking for much a slight buff to the aforementioned ships would make for some more excitement. If we can't get a buff for the little guys than the big ships even the Fas which performs like a fighter jet should be nerfed. If you don't like what your reading than when you see that purple and green avatar carry-on this message well it's not for you. It's for the man who created this wonderful game. The more I talk to commanders while on my travels the more I realize people are generally unhappy with the way things are. If you give the majority of people a buff then I'm quite sure they'll be willing to stick around to see this game grow. If not well then who knows things could wind up like the ship I found the other day crashed into the side of cliff.

I disagree.
The Asp is one of the best multi-purpose ships out there. It has enough firepower to get me out of a scrape, but when I want to do serious bounty hunting, I go get my vulture.
It's all about balance. Buffing the Asp would likely make it OP. Buffing all the ships, what's the point in that? You're just raising the bar for everyone (including the NPC's)

BTW, they didn't buff the AI, they fixed it. Prior to 2.1 the AI was pretty much floating target practice.

The Asp Explorer needing a buff? Is this a troll thread? The Asp is one of the best overall ships in the game, if not THE best overall ship in the game.

The asp is an Exploration specialized ship. It flies like one, and it's always been a sardine tin waiting to be opened by any other ship, especially combat oriented opponents.

Working as intended.

Not sure if trolling...you do understand the AI will fly the same ships we do, right?

Edit: The Asp E doesn't need a combat buff....the fact that it sounds like a propeller driven airplane in the jet age should tell you all you need to know about its combat capabilities (or lack thereof). It's built for exploring and smuggling.

hang on... so you post a message demanding the arguably best allrounder ship in the game gets a buffed, I responded with a way to do exactly what you ask, ie engineers, and not only is that not good enough to you because you cant be bothered to put the time in, but you also say, if you do not agree then this message is not for you so do not bother to respond?

wow!.

I think you are not getting what the point of a general discussion board on a public forum!. if your post really is for DBs eyes only then I suggest a support request is more appropriate.

have you tried tanking out with the best armour and also the (vanilla) armour modules?

also as i said in the post you disliked. Buff a ship for us, you buff it for the AI as well.

How is the Mahon Retributor now?
In the beta it was insane. An Asp with four of them could cook any ship in seconds. With mods they were even more crazy.

Headless Sheep wants all non-combat ships to be as good at combat as the combat ships.

Mr. Braben, would you please give my Vulture and FDL more cargo space? Also, the shields on my Imperial Clipper are garbage. Can you reduce the size and tonnage so the shields are more average and it can land on outposts? :D

AspE shield is relatively weak and could use a tweak up.
AspS should have 4 medium weapons.

You see here. This is a prime example that will simplify things for you. This is but one person who agrees with me in a handful of people. Now let's times that by a thousand. You could probably times that by two maybe three thousand. If everybody's ships get buffed everybody gets happy everybody stays around longer maybe even buys more DLC excetera excetera. My proposed buffs would bring excitement to the casual player. This is positive for business maybe not so positive for negative people such as yourselves but you are but a small group of people. Believe it or not there's a real world out there where people have to work and take care of family excetera excetera.

Why is it that what you want is good for business, and the fact that I don't want it bad for business? Am I not a paying customer as well? You say everybody, and I am part of everybody, and I don't like it (along with many others that have posted in this thread). Therefore everybody is not happy in your scenario.
Since we're pulling numbers out of thin air here, please multiply the fact that I don't want it by ten thousand. There, now I have even more people happy and continuing to buy DLC's as well.

You're not a paying customer. Did you pirate the game.

Buff the Asp?

It does'nt need one, ok the engineer's stuff looks good (not that I've bothered any engineers, far too busy for that line of work)

All you need for an Asp is 30 million credits (and 1.5 million for the insurance) and that gets you an A rated Asp, with 72 ton cargo capacity, military armor, 4 lasers on the small points (gimballed beams are my fav) and a pair of multi-cannons on the med points for that dakk dakka dakka noise when shredding anything smaller than you(and taking a large bite out of anything bigger), 25 Ly jump range and can out run anything apart from a viper or a cobra in normal space.
Stir in a certifiable pilot(my wingmates found that out last night when I rammed a vulture, stuck my thrusters on full and gave him hell with the cannons from about 2 meters away(and yes, I could see the pilot in the cockpit just before the ship exploded) and you have one of the best ships in E D

Bill

<<<off to find that engineer who'll buff up my guns, FSD and thrusters... and hopefully give me the pills that make the voice in my head going "kill kill kill them all" shut the hell up :D

To OP: The Asp does not need a buff. It is perfectly suited for its role. It is not a combat ship. live with it. It is one of the best thought out ships in game. Remodel your playstyle.
