So I experienced some drag munitions firsthand tonight.
Not quite as bad as I expected, but I was in a small, quick vulture. I could usually keep enough space to avoid missiles. Did not test frags.
My main concern still lies with bigger, slower mediums.
While this may have been intended to slow those FDLs/Mambas etc down a little —get them to hold still, or what have you— the effects it may have on my previously mentioned Python, or a non-FAS Fed medium may be too great for them to remain viable at all. They are already outclassed by FDLs enough as it is.
I understand Fdev intends to revert these changes, and I am glad. However, if the latest change to drag didn’t completely prevent boosting, and instead made boosting a little less effective, perhaps it would have been received a little better.
