This is more than an inconvenience mate. I spent 4 weeks grinding for ALD in Power Play to attain and obtain the Imperial Hammers. I want 250,000,000 credits in compensation or the return of my fully capable Imperial Hammers.

The heat is proper balance, it was being abused as a meta, so this change is proper.

Someone tell him, he only needed to grind during the last of those 4 weeks.

Hahaha at those demands!

Yeah they got a balance pass because they needed it.

I know its wrong, but I love the sight of frustrated grinders making outrageous demands with nothing to back them up.

Hey FD, ARE YOU LISTENING!!!!! You nerfed my heatsink!! I spend years grinding for one! I want four million trillion credits in compensation or the return of Firefly.

Is it as funny as players whining about the AI & demanding their insurance compensation from 2.1 to 2.1.02? LOL 'Boohoo my ship was blown up because I'm rubbish, please give me my pretend money back because I can't take losing, just like an eight year old' (I'm paraphrasing

)

I don't think anyone demanded a refund outside of the people suffering instant destruction due to a bug

they just rolled everyone back as it was probably easier than sorting through everyone.

He didn't even need that. Or, well, one fortification Cutter run (or two in a Conda) at the end of the week 4 to get to the rank 3 can hardly be called a "grind".

Ships were blown up because NPCs had bugged weapons like railguns with multi-cannon fire rate that could kill ships in a fraction of a second.

Do you really think he could understand that? If he could, he would've gotten that information by now, considering how often and how clearly Frontier communicated it.

On the topic of the thread: i also think that the hammers, got nerfed too much. Before the change, they already produced much more heat, for some (9%) more damage. The blanket heat increase thus hit the hammers much harder than the normal railguns.

Next to that, i still think that the silent running nerf would've been enough to solve the railgun problem, the seperate railgun nerf in my eyes was not necessary. But it's still acceptable, it just would indeed be nice if the hammer would be brought in line with the other railguns. (Not that it affects me that much, i already replaced my hammers with pack-hounds, i find them much more useful at the moment. )
