Make stealth and hull great again!

Huh? When did we start talking about large ships? Bit reflexive there . . . let me guess; You got yourself into a Corvette so you can finally taste combat in victory, but still get whomped by smaller ships and it's soooo unfair because you bought a big ship and deserve to win, right?



That is easily the most inane statement I've seen on this forum, which says a lot.



Destroyers come in at <10% the size of a Nimitz Carrier, which means that a DBS (170 tons) taking down a Corvette (900 tons) isn't strange at all. Even your own demonstration shows you to be dead wrong.

Practice combat in a smaller ship man, it will pay off and do much to ease the rump chaffing you are experiencing due to Corvettes not imparting God Mode. A mediocre pilot in a Corvette engineered to hell and back will still be dismantled by a competent pilot in a Courier/DBS/Viper/etc.

Oh and next time you decide to be an ole you might not make such stupid assumptions.

. . . And you're still upset that pilots in smaller ships wreck your Corvette, enough so that you are dragging it into a completely unrelated thread on a forum.

Start a 'smaller ships shouldn't be allowed to kill me' thread instead of bloating a thread on stealth and hull tanking.

And you are still rude

Putting a limit is the easiest way to achieve balance. And if it's not easy, it may not happen after all.
Adjusting the values and implementing diminishing returns means diving into code and that can end up badly...

I agree, it is the easiest, however FD already has the coding mostly done since they were already going to add diminishing returns, had it tested in a beta, but cancelled it because of player outrage.

I like this idea a lot TBH. 2/3/4 boosters for S/M/L ships. Simple and legible.

As long as they also limit the amount of other utilities, such as chaff, heatsinks and ECMs to one each, with PDs getting 1/2/3 depending on ship size, sure.
