Nerf the FDL for pvp’s sake

Hmm, not wanting to dispute your logic, are you saying the right thing to do would be to buff all the other ships as they are too weak? Just seems like a lot of work to, you know changing one ship!!

Not to mention it'll just turn ED into another arcade game... :(

I like my ships having tangible mass and momentum! Otherwise I might just as well play Everspace or No Man's Sky.

This thread is starting to make me glad that Frontier ignores us 99% of the time.

Every so often I goto Coriolis to make a new PvE combat ship build, then I compare it to my Fdls and scrap the idea.
Rather than annoying many players though Fdev, try pleasing many players instead, by buffing the other similar ships in that category, even if it means increasing the price.

For competitive organized PvP, the FDL is perfect because it can be flown to the utter limits of the flight model. In other words, there is a very large range in piloting ability that will be manifested and experienced accordingly to skill level, as one improves. The stats of the ship will not limit your skill and performance, but will rather make obvious that a pilot has done his work.

I do sympathize with those who wish for more ship variety, balance and/or choose to not fly fa off.

If it is of any consolation, although the FDL may be ubiquitous, true mastery of the FDL is rare. I have thousands of hours on the FDL and still have a lot to learn.

Fab ship. Favourite. Flown properly it's a dream. Can heat her up way beyond any other ships capability. Engineered to whatever style suits you.
Defo no nerf

that's a weak argument if i ever read one. you are greatly overestimating humanity.

-triple the price of the FDL,the increase in price could make dyeing in pvp less desirable due to a rebuy

so just pilots that love to stack missions and mine their own eyes out bother to fly it? how is that balancing a ship?

- make the FDL slower but don’t touch the manoverablity

which is kind of ... impossible? speed basically translates into maneuverability.
if you meant pitch rate ...

- buff the Mamba, why did you make this ship usesless fd?

so, the mamba is useless ...

-Remove a utility slot from the fdl

finally, something ... "sensible" 😅

but, actually ... don't. lets better remove engineering which is what basically broke all ships.

but, then, the horror! without the pointless engineering there is no more pointless mat collection! no more gameplay!!! :eek:

Truth be told, it wasn’t the heat that turned me off the mamba. It was the god.dam.handling. Even with g5 dirties that thing handles like a turd someone hucked at a ceiling fan...

Apparently the argument is that it's an interceptor...

...what you do after you intercept continues to elude me.

Tried it again last week and I just can't seem to get on with that ship. It's a shame because I really want to like it...
