Lol or you like, if you feel that's better shows your mindset than reasoned debate.
Yes. My mindset is one of amusement at your solution.
I absolutely agree skill should reward. However, I do not see how a defacto (forced?) standard of multiple chaff units, and fixed weapons equates to skill though.
You don't see how having to
sometimes stop letting your gimbals aim for you, and aiming manually equates to skill?
And consider how would my proposed solution where a weapon offers some gimballed behaviour, but also delivers more damaged when the target is kept direcly ahead not reward skill? And how would this mean more CMDRs wouldn't simply find themselves not "tooled up" for PvE or PvP, but instead are able to fight more battles they face, rather than simply being out "papered" because the opponent has "stone" this time around.
Again, the rock paper scissors analogy only works for hard counters. Chaff is not a hard counter to anything. It is still possible to kill an opponent who is using chaff, with gimballed weapons equipped.
Last time I checked, my weapons worked just as well against players and NPCs. PvE and PvP aren't factors here.
And once again, you use jibes instead of reason, and ignore the point(s) at hand. Why is this?
The fact that you consider any suggestion that you are lacking skill to be a jibe, says more about you than it does about me. If you were effective with fixed weapons, you wouldn't find chaff to be a problem. You find chaff to be a problem. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that you are not yet effective with fixed weapons. This isn't a jibe, it's just the reality. Or do you think that skill is a necessary attribute of a good person?
How does the ability to nerf gimbals and turrets, for minute(s) on end, equate to skill, or indeed anything +ve within the game.
You're only nerfing one ability, (the auto-aim. They still do the same damage at all the same costs.) and sacrificing hp to do it. The skill comes from using manual aim and being more vulnerable to the hits that you do take. Don't you think it requires more skill to aim manually than automatically?
Indeed, a mechanic that NPCs are banned from using because of how unbalanced it is. Please supply a video, by any means, showing this is not the case?
There are threads of multiple players who make the claim that NPCs chain chaff. I'm sure that if you asked there, somebody with better hardware could provide you with a video.
It's irrelevant either way. There are plenty of things that players do that NPCs don't. Should we ban high waking, and boosting outside of evasion too?
Your solution is also an admission of the irrelevance. You're no longer asking for chaff to be nerfed, but gimbals and fixed to be unified. Sort of suggests that your primary concern is that you have encountered something that is giving you difficulty, and instead of learning to overcome it, you come here and ask the devs to take away the difficulty. Is chaff the problem or is it the weapons? Are your motives altruistic or selfish? Asking to remove the preferred weapon type of a lot of players indicates the latter.
While we're at it. My hull reinforcements "nerf" your weapons too... how about we nerf them? Mirrored hulls "nerf" your lasers? Should we nerf those?
Not so. I even suggested unifying the weapons and allowing you to simply toggle between two modes, gimbal and fixed, so you in effect can use the weapons as either type we currently have, thus meaning everyone can flick between the two varieties of weapon use as the sitation dictates. More variety, more chance to show your skill.
You can already flick between the 2. And those who enjoy using fixed weapons get to keep their preference.
Also... it's not about "showing" my skill. (Again shows
your mindset. You seem a little insecure here btw... not a jibe either, your sensitivity to suggestions that you lack the skills to use fixed weapons does indicate insecurity). It's about the enjoyment of developing skills and using them. I couldn't care less who sees them. I'm not playing for their benefit.
Currently, chaff/fixed/gimbal/turrets provide choices and trade offs. Your arguments that there is a problem have been wholly unconvincing, and are unlikely to convince anyone who knows how to deselect their target and aim. I'd recommend practicing with fixed weapons. It's both rewarding, and completely negates your problem. The person relying on chaff to evade fire, just dies quicker.
Chaff also provides a defense for traders/smugglers not equipped for combat.

Less posts... More videos please...
Less ducking.. more logic.
Less nerfing... more practice.

..and it's a shame your skill at using fixed against NPCs isn't rewarded by the game. Instead you are penalised because it instead rewards the use of gimbals. Demonstrated by the fact NPCs are not allowed to use the same tactics as CMDRs (with chaff).
You keep saying this "not allowed"... Do you have a source for this? Has a Dev ever stated that NPCs aren't "allowed" to chain chaff?
