Nerf the Anaconda

[CMDR MRMAURICE]

If you are getting out gunned by a Anaconda, you sir do not know how to fit a Corvette... the vette has plenty more firepower and has better maneuverability. it also has far better shields.

Didn't say I was nor did I imply anywhere that I was getting "out gunned" by an Anaconda when in a Corvette. Just for he record I can sit in a corvette in a HazRes or conflict zone until I get bored, but this thread isn't about that.

Oh god, it's this thread. Again.

NO.

Now bog off and find something else to cry about.

Sorry can you highlight the part of me crying?? Not a constructive comment, so why bother. Oh I see it's to be a smart... Asp

Buff the Sidewinder

 

[Adhock]

Don't be stupid.

Yes I'm saying stupid.

I've already written up a fully detailed post on why your Nerf idea is not Balance. Balance is a full pass on every single combat ship getting a range buff in accordance with their intended roles.

When I get home expect a link and a full repost.

I don't mind people banging their heads on the wall. I mind when they try to pass in into a law.

If you want your conda nerfed, just leave it with E modules. There! Let me enjoy my game the way I want to (I can't generalise...)

 

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

No. And yes, this is a dumb request. If half the board had their way, every ship would be exactly the same. Same jump range, same shields, same hull. Then they would be bored and go play something else. But too short sighted to see that making everything the same takes the value out of it.
I sold my Anaconda. Didn't care for it. My DBX gets better jump range, my T9 carries cargo, and my FDL loves feeding on Annie's. They are delicious. If they were nerfed, I'd have to feed on something else.

I agree that the anaconda is exceptional, and some say that the mass of the anaconda is way below what it should be, but I would instead propose a buff to the cutter and corvette. The corvette should have 2 huge, 3 large and 2 medium hardpoints instead of what it has now. As well as this, it should get a small jump range upgrade. The cutter should get a distributor upgrade from 7 to 8.

Bearing in mind that these ships are RANK LOCKED, the grind for these two is completely justifiable for the quite major buffs to each of them.

Capt Nerf wants you to enjoy your game his way not yours

Don't nerf it, but instead rank lock it with an upcoming Alliance navy rep (as well as the Chieftain and future Alliance ships).

Where did I say that?? Not sure you have read any of my replies, in fact I know you haven't. If you haven't got anything constructive to say then why are you here?? Please stop trying to derail this thread and go away

 

[Eidolon]

Hmm.... No for a nerf to the Anaconda from me.

Instead give the 'Vette some love, go on FD you know it makes sense

 

[Speedcuffs]

Anaconda? Rubbish. Nerf/don't nerf. Don't want one. Take it away and bring me the new Lakon catalogue.

Yeah I hear you. Good point.

If somebody had told me earlier this week that THE topic of discussion over the last couple of days would be about the upcoming buff to the humble Type-7 Transporter, and that this would spawn all sorts of what I assume are parody threads to buff/nerf the Corvette, Cutter, and Anaconda, I would've had told them to leave the room in a highly profane manner.

 

[RagingxPenguin]

the fact multipurpose non rank locked ship has better DPS then special combat high locked ship is wrong.
And that is not only about DPS, its multi everything ship and doing well in every aspect in game except PVP vs cutter and corvette.

everyone knows that thing is unbalanced, and who does not know, dont have enough experience in this game.

Thanks for the laugh. Felt good.

The only thing the Anaconda beats the other two in is Jump range

All three are perfectly capable of trading, PvE when built properly.

My trade Cutter out jumps my Anaconda. Sorry.

Not buying it.

 

[=71st=RuSh]

Yes I said it. Nerf it into the ground.

This stems from a thread about the corvette needing a buff to its jump range, plus a bit of a personal thing.

I know people will absolutely hate the idea but it needs knocking off its perch a bit. It's a multi purpose ship, isn't it?? But has a HUGE jump range. Well the Python is a multi purpose ship but doesn't have a HUGE jump range.

Alot of people rush to get one, which is fair enough I suppose. However, missing out or completely bypassing all ships once a credit grind is found and then straight to the Anaconda. It has even better DPS than a corvette and can jump further (jump range not so important), what gives?? So instead of me or others telling new players not to do this or not to do that when it comes to grinding credits and using other ships. Simple, nerf the Anaconda and it fixes it.

This will also make the rank locked Cutter and Corvette actually more exclusive, which they damn should be. No more moaning about credits grinds and noobs not knowing how to fly one or afford the rebuy when it goes pop. Take the shine off it and force the game to make you use other ships or other ships for different things.

I'm expecting a hammering and that's fine but seriously guys/gals thing about it.

I'm not asking FDev to nerf it I'm asking the community. It isn't a request for it, it's a discussion about the potential possibility

Imagine my answer to your request, FRACK YOU!

 

[CDOTS]

Excuse me cmdr.... do you mind if you stop shooting me while I turn this Conda around then we can continue to fight lol

 

[Uvelius Sång]

Nerf one of the very favourite Fuel Rat ships? Absolutely no way. Buff whatever you want, but hands off the Rattaconda!

Aside from that - as for firepower, ask some PvPers about the Anaconda's fighting power. My best guess is that they are not impressed. As a support ship, yes, but that doesn't register for extreme firepower and combat capability, does it. His Highness the Space Whale likes it slow and chilled.
Oh and by the way, since anyone can fly an Anaconda (with some credits), just feel free to fly it if you think it is oh so powerful. No rank grind required.

Excuse me cmdr.... do you mind if you stop shooting me while I turn this Conda around then we can continue to fight lol

Ha. Exactly.

 

[Red Anders]

Generally I'd be more supportive of buffing the ships people feel are disadvantaged compared to it, although it's probably worth noting that relative cost needs to be factored in when you're making comparisons. You can't just say 'Oh ship X is disadvantaged compared to ship Y' if ship Y costs four times as much.

The only thing I use my Anaconda for is exploration anyway and I hate flying it in supercruise to the point that my next long range exploration trip will probably be in my Orca, so really it's no skin off my nose whether it gets nerfed or not.

 

[CMDR Corlas]

Capt Nerf wants you to enjoy your game his way not yours

This is a pretty weak argument, considering that we're all enjoying the game FD's way, and everything saying otherwise is marketing or exploits.

 

[CMDR MRMAURICE]

Just to clarify that I'm not going to cry or argue with anybody that puts up a reason as to why it should or shouldn't be buff/nerfed. I just posted this thread so the conversation could finally be had. I'm sick of reading completely off topic and digs at me comments, completely not needed. I'm not crying or would care too much what happens to any ship. It's just a conversation that I thought some adults could have. Some are and some aren't.

I'm trying to keep it peaceful and I have agreed with people that have a differing of opinion and that's fine. SO ADULTS can we continue with this ADULT conversation and stop with the smart asp comments, please.
