I have a particular problem with this powerplay weapon. I recently had acquired this Grom-bomb , and have been heavily practicing with it , trying to make it work. Ok , so as far as it seems , it does not seem effective at all , in terms of speed needed / and accuracy with containing someone. It fires the same rate as the regular dumbfire missile. Over 60 percent of pilots out there choose not to fight , even though they are in open play , have combat fitted ships . They simply just leave. This is a problem.
The regular dumbfire fsd interrupt missile holds your opponent for just eleven seconds. This is a joke. A point defense also stops this. The modification applied to the regular version manages to hold them for a whopping 17 seconds. You guys at frontier do not give us enough time needed to apply any type of pressure required during such time to knock out the drives or better yet the hull to accomplish anything with this limited time frame. It is difficult enough as it is , to strike the opponent , with a missile that moves at that rate of speed that does not have any trajectory guidance. For a powerplay weapon I feel it should deem something of important value , something more than just what mats can get you , so why is it that it is such a lame weapon ? It seems as if once again the pve crowd is catered to , and the weapons that us pvp people use are not effecient enough to get the job done. I request that the "Grom Bomb" be modified to hold our opponents in for a minimum of 30 seconds , or increase their firing speed, to match that of a focused Pa speed. This would get some balance done to the special "powerplay" weapon and make it seem worthwhile investing into and make gameplay more fun than what it is now with it. Elite dangerous needs more pvp focused fun and interactiveness and rewarding times with more effective weapons against those that are afraid of stepping out of their comfort zone. Thankyou .
