who else thinks , that the FDL is the most over used ship in elite, EVEN more than the sidewinder?





lets talk about how we should move away from the fdl some, if not at all


im saying lets make FD NERF THE FDL!!!!!!! SO OTHER SHIPS ARE VIABLE!

It's pretty telling that the Fer-De-Lance Owner's Club thread is 75 pages long, compared to the Anaconda's 10, the Diamondback Explorer's 3 , Type-7's 1 and the Viper MkIV's... uh. I guess it doesn't have a thread.
 
Nah...

Lets advocate for buffing the other ships instead ok?

Dont be a negative nancy.

Finally, someone who doesn't think Grabthar's Nerfhammer is the only way of dealing with things.

To OP it's over used because alot of people watch Vids of SDC or AA using it and think if they get one they will be Uber L33t at PvP, that's why I got one. A lot of those people like me will put Gimballed weapons on it. I recently sold my FDL and got a Viper mkiii, I'm starting from scratch combat wise and using fixed weapons.

You can't stop people from getting the FDL it's just the latest fashion, just know that most people using it don't really know how too...like I used to be.

I only got my FDL about a month ago after playing the game for 2 years, it's best not to assume that any single ship is used by the majority.

Here is the link :D
I have marked it

Just a minor update, calling things Slugshots was my mistake - I keep forgetting that the localised names and the internal names aren't always the same ;). Updated OP to refer to Frag Cannons, they're the same thing.

And a brief word on Fixed vs Gimbals - this was obviously going to be one of the hotter topics, I would ask that people reserve complete judgement until you've tried it though. The goal isn't to make gimbals useless, I think it is a smaller nudge than it sounds. As with all things subjective though, it needs to be tried to be properly gauged. For reference, looking at the stats of what people are currently using (trimming outliers to include only recently flown ships, an a couple of other exceptions), when people have a choice between fixed and gimbals more than 75% of players have picked gimbals, which is high enough that I think it signals something not balanced right.

Continuing to read the thread, but there's a lot to try and answer.

Glad too see someone else appreciates the Clipper and FAS
