Only 10s cooldown on the drag effect? Nice job.

EDIT!!! Apologies, apparently we are now getting reports that there is a small cooldown, maybe 8 to 10 seconds (the effect is 5s). 10 seconds is not enough FD!! Original message follows...

Some pilots have already confirmed you can be permadragged witht eh new drag effect, if a frag user does not want you to boost, ever, you won't.

Implemented this in the first place...silly.
Didn't discuss it with anybody...questionable.
Didn't test it properly (obviously)...forgiveable.
Didn't put a meaningful cooldown on it...omg.

Is it really that bad? I haven't tested it yet.

Escaping full wing gank is tricky if you can't boost at all.

Maybe it's to make PvP community happy

Whats wrong with just dumping heatsinks as usual to prevent a lock before the wake out. Seems this drag effect on boost was designed for the PvE crowd against NPC's

Yeah, it was a bad idea.

But Paige already said she passed our feedback on to the devs and I'm sure they do something about it. Obviously at that point it was to late for a fix to make it into the update straight away.

I keep sending my resume to Fdev, but I keep getting the reply "Your resume doesn't match the qualifications for this position" from HR, and then I see this stuff. and I'm like, "What am I missing here?", I even went and talked to them at E3 last year, just to tell them about me.

What do I have to do Fdev? I am a competent game dev and project manager. HIRE ME!!!!!

The problem is that drag is more or less worthless (at least in pvp). So it's not so much a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, as a solution that could be gamebreakingly powerful on packhounds. They're going to need to finesse this one a bit, or just remove drag entirely.

I guess when they said they're looking for someone with hands-on experience they weren't talking about armchairs. :p

How do they breathe? Like seriously. It's like FDev wants us to ruin new player's experiences.

"Hey new player, out of the safe area? Here, check drag munitions out, it effectively neutralizes your credit account and basically any other assets you have. Oh and by the way, go solo play, please."
This is like. "Want's to improve new player experiences." "Makes gankers unbeatable and noob farming as easy as PvE." Wait, NPCs shoot back ...

This is an urgent case for a SDC operation. Get as many drag frags and seekers as possible with one grom bomb and a FCR.

EDIT: As of now, apparently it has a cooldown. That was quick. Around 10 seconds it is. But still, insanely powerful and stupid. We still haven't got a reasoning for this change.
