Horizons OMG not again

before 2.2 and the NPC boost i had a FAS that could take on a conda if i was careful, then they boosted the NPC's it lasted 17 secs and by the time they nerfed them i had lost millions and a lot of ships. But i wiped away the tears and carried on, after a lot of grinding im now the very proud owner of a corvette fully engineered with a very pretty crew person which i have personaly trained (nudge nudge wink wink ) to expert. i made a point of getting the shields grade 5 boosted with 7 grade 5 HD boosters. it takes an elite conda to get the first shield ring to turn pink, but now i find that in 2.2.03 shield boosters are being rebalanced/nerfed so the diminishing returns mean you can only really run 4 HD boosters and the rest are gonna be res aug boosts which still get nerfed on the 20% built in shield boost, so now im gonna have to start grinding again to get the mats for new grade 5 boosts and fight off every NPC that interdicts me every time i come out of warp when trying to get to an engineer to boost the boosters ( try saying that 5 times very fast)[haha], and i still need to sort out the best way to boost them, gotta watch the youtube vid by "that tiny dude again" so PLEASE FD make this the last rebalance / nerf for a long time:S thanking you in advance CMDR Bring it! PS its still my favourite game, aint nuthing better than EDH[big grin].
 
Keep in mind that the npcs gonna get the same nerf as we do.

but who needs shields when you got a FAS? Shields are made for ramming!!
 
very true, which is why i aquirred a cutter with all the afore mentioned upgrades so im ready when that patch arrives, now all i need is that Palin and maybe i'll be happy again ............. till the next one :eek:

BTW, I took my FDL with 3 or so shield boosters (800+ rating) and twice RAMMED a python NPC, no anger off python, but his shields were gone by the second ram and mine were about half drained...

You will probabaly only have to replace 2 or 3 boosters with alternatives. I am in the same situation with my Corvette stuffed full of grade 5 HD boosters, but at least they can be stored away for another ship when removed.
