Hard to swallow pills:
Engineers would be way better if the only upgrades you could make to your ship were experimentals
I wonder how popular a "stock" mode would be with the masses?
Shields are fine the way they are and so are scb's. Just get good at taking down shields and if you don't like sbc's then get some feedback cascade rails. I don't see what the problem here is.
It sounds to me like an issue of getting good and learning how to properly build a ship for pvp.
Isn't that what cqc is? I don't even know what cqc is because it's so unpopular on Xbox you can't even get enough people for a match.
Generally I ignore Cutters because you're just wasting ammunition. Drive off or kill their friends and the Cutter will wake all the same.
That should tell you something.
