Are you actually saying that gimballed frags are harder to use than PAs?
Beautiful numbers ty!
The problem with plasmas and everyone knows it. Is also that you wont be able to shoot them alle the time so you WONT be able to shoot them every 3 secounds.
So if you would nerf plasmas you also need to nerf all weapons that can shoot further then 4 km... else you would create an imbalance as well.
Yeah this is where theorycrafting doesn't hold up to real world testing. The amount of people who think their coriolis build is better until they get out there and use it.
Absolutely wrong!!! There are strong experimentals like TLB, the 4 secound Chaff etc I do agree that it should be fixed, but nit nerfed... if you would introduce a scale that the damage increases with heat% there musst be and exchange for that for example getting 1.25% damage for every 1% heat resulting 75% buff at 160% heat...
If you constandly stay at more then 160% your ship will be inoperatable in like 5- 10 minutes. That should be enough time for spear to be able to stop ganker and pvp community is happy bc tc is now more complex and uses more skill.
That would be a perfect outcome wouldnt it?
You will need to hold heat between 148 and 160 to gain something from it. And in every other case you lose... that must be a good enough nerf.
A few random examples, just off the top of my head:
- netcode is a mess, people are rubberbanding around and/or sometimes you get shadowrammed randomly -> that's a problem
- ramming damage is utterly inconsistent and unpredictable -> that's not good
- zero skill weapons like seekers can easily overwhelm yor defensive modules and are capable of deleting your external modules including weapons nearly instantly, and you cannot even engineer mrp's to give them the level of protection internal modules have -> that's an utterly bad design
- your canopy can get oneshotted by a reverski railspammer from 6 kms -> oh well, but why cannot we at least keep the goddamn reticle after canopy breach?
- why, for heaven's sake, after so many years, is the game still unable to draw the damned target orientation indicator triangle around the opponent consistently, every single time you need to retarget someone?
- healing weapons? what kind of a dumb idea is it? I'd really like to know what was the one who came up with it smoking -> should be removed and its place in the code should be sowed with salt
- premium ammo? you get increased damage because you were doing some braindead grind of shooting rocks? -> stupid idea, remove it altogether
- and the list could go on and on and on
- someone is able to preturn me consistently and therefore he's capable of landing insane amount of TC PA damage on me?
More power to them, it's an utter non-issue, at least compared to all the above it most certainly is.

I think the consensus so far is still
1) TC is broken due to it applying before 100% heat. we all agree that it should apply with the buff from 100% and up to 160% for the max buff
2) heat damage from using these weapons was meant as a balance to them and that that heat damage is also currently not working as a proper balance.
I can understand why fdev won't take much of the forum discussions seriously. Too many people are trying to fight their little culture wars in them. A quick glance at the messages there too a lot of mud slinging this is just unhelpful.

Sadly this.. would be good if they looked at all areas but what is the likelihood eh?
If this devolves into bickering we will lose being listeneed to, let's put our differences aside and act like adults so that the people who are thinking about changing the game listen to us. We risk making things worse for ourselves if we don't. Please just think about that for a min.
Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
I don't want to have to .. but if you choose to derail this with rubbish I'll ask that your comments are removed.. please don't be that guy. You're better than that.
absolutely? .__. No one said tlb/dispersal are weak mods just in most cases people stack TC to achieve more damage.
75% bonus damage! And for 5-10 minutes
I assume such changes will burry even more ships and weps in organic

Regardless of whether TC damage output should be adjusted, if I ever play the game again (cough), in an organized wingfight, I will always hotbank before a TC plasma salvo that I know will hit. And then hopefully ram.
FDL is only any good if the person flying it knows what they are doing with it and has probably months if not years of learning involved. Flown FA on with bad weapons its as much a heap of junk as anything else. I know because I still fly it like a heap of junk. As to TC on plasmas. I would say it requires skill to land plasma's never mind making sure the temp is over 100. Its pointless if you haven't the skill to land them. From what I see most haven't and all they want to do is moan at the people that have taken the time to master them. You only have to look at all the low skill Cutter builds & missile builds to realise no one wants to invest time. Pack hounds and the like should never have been a thing either for example.
Although I find synthing and healies horrible for PvP, synthing and healies can be rewarding in AX combat. Healies in AX CZs can be fun and very helpful because of the duration of the AX CZs and number of Interceptors involved.
Synthing is also invaluable for soloing the Hydra and Medusa because of their massive health pools.

To be fair an all gimbal beam and multi cannon build will destroy most none pvp ships even with the get good video they still don't react correctly. I'd say SPEAR probably have more of a problem with it because it counters there reverski Cutters to a degree. The guy getting ganked usually doesn't even what is killing him usually.
Doesn't a 5 booster with dual banks have more shields than a 6 booster? On the other hand if your in Deciat with a 6 booster you can stack a lot of hull modules. (6 booster prismo 3,664 Mj & 2,612 Abs hull) (5 booster with banks 4,111 Mj & 1,690 Abs Hull)
It's much of a muchness but the difference is you can't put pips into hull. I tend to run a chaff anyway with one heatsink but it's kinda more fun with banks etc. That's purely my opinion though and others can do what they like.
