REMINDER: NERF THE ANACONDA AND RAISE T9 MLF

[Guest 161958]

I love the anaconda like many of us cmdrs, but today, the straw that broke the camel's back:

NPC ANACONDA MASSLOCKING FULL LADEN 750t + 850t hull type9.

Further research showed that the t9 is masslocked by Python and (!) KRAIT.

type 10 is immune. .

You gotta be kidding me. You want to plant 1500 t of ship you need fsd bombs period.

I am sure the overpowered power creepy conda pilots will start arguing with stuff like gameplay reasons, price, "hard work". What hard work money is almost free in this game nowadays. People resetting their cmdrs and getting a conda in less than a week.

It does not make sense either from a realism point of view nor gameplay point of view. I think arguing to avoid the conda nerf is proof of being childish.

Let FD nerf it c'mon.

I invite the cmdrs who agree with me to post everyday a NERFCONDA reminder to finally improve the game's balance.

 

[Azmuth Divarchchron]

yeah, no
The anaconda is supposed to masslock the type 9. the type 9 is a cargo vessel not a combat ship.
the type 9 is otherwise empty space.

Maybe they can teak the existing masslock system but the anaconda in no way needs a nerf especialy since it was only given one military slot vs the cutter and corvette's two military slots. both of which are ships that can masslock the conda.

Yeah yes.
Anaconda with its magical 400t hull is not supposed to masslock the T9. Anaconda must be a multirole not a ship specialized to excel in everything.

If you want to masslock a T9 you must give up your ridiculous jump range.


You have so many hardpoints, you can fit a missile rack with fsd interrupt and wreck a T9 anyway

none of the big 4 need multicrew to excell in anything. if you are really upset about being masslocked by an anaconda grab a T10.

the type 9 is a cargo vessel not a multipurpouse ship like the anaconda. the Type 9 isnt designed to be able to avoid masslock.

Secondly all ships in the game can avoid masslock from other ships with one simple trick. do a hyperjump, not supercruise, hyperjump. simple.

Except anaconda. it excels in everything.

No, I want to use a T9 because it holds more and I do not need to fight but to escape.

I play in open and the ppff... "trick" you mention is not effective against real pirates.

Look, there's no way you can defend the anaconda state as it is.

Even FD acknowledged that they made a mistake when they released it that way and cannot change it because of stubborn cmdrs like you.

Stop this FD blackmailing! #N E R F C O N D A !

FD acknowledged they made a mistake with the anaconda? where are you getting your information? or are you just pulling it out of your ?

As far as it stands both the cutter and the corvette are more powerful combat wise than the anaconda. They both have higher shield capacities and they either have better manouverability or higher speed than the conda.

The conda (as much as I hate to say it) while a balanced and versatile ship is in no way overpowered compared to the corvette and the cutter.

And if you cant use a simple "trick" to get away maybe you need to look at your piloting skill instead of your ship.

Also, no one is blackmailing FD

However I take my hat off to you, you are a decent troll and I fell for your bait. GG

Anaconda should lose the comically small base tonnage, or pay for it with paper-thin hull strength. Personally, I think a little of both: Hull mass of 800 and hull strength of 600-ish base. That would put it in same tonnage/hull strength ratio as a Fed Corvette, at 0.74, with Cutter at 0.64 and T10 at 0.87. For reference Annie is around 2.36 right now. Of course, it should get an FSD upgrade to a Class 7 at the same time, which should keep it's max range around the 60ly mark, fully engineered.

Also, partially relevent, but the bigger ships should be much slower turning. 1. Because the forces required to turn a ship of this tonnage at these rates are massive, rivaling or outclassing maximum acceleration from main thrusters, and the G-load at the extreme end of the ship only adds to this. And 2. Because it would make turrets and smaller craft relevant again. I'd suggest just reducing turn rates so that a fully engineered ship turns like an A rated (but unengineered) ship does now. That would be a start, more mobility reduction on a CORVETTE class ship would probably still be in order following that/

I cannot find the source, it was probably deleted do avoid conflict between players. I read it last year, they said when they released the conda it was meant to be the endgame ship as they did not envision all the released ships at the time. If someone is so kind to find it I would be grateful.

Anaconda has comparable combat capabilities as the other big ships PLUS ASPX jumprange. I know you love your beloved ship, but truth is truth.

Are you a moebius player maybe? because probably you never run into a serious blockade. No use to insult my piloting skills, the fact that you favour an overpowered ship speaks by itself.

Blackmailing "If you nerf the conda I won't play anymore" posts are countless. Give up.

I'd never actualy use the anaconda for PVP. The anaconda is great and all but if I were to be doing PvP i'd probably stick to a python FDL or krait MK2

FDL's would just eat apart the anaconda especialy since the conda cant actualy chase them either.

sounds like you need to learn a little more about PvP if you arent infact trolling

Exactly my point. People who do not agree on nerfing the conda would stick to things which give them advantages to compensate for lack of skill.

Thing is Anaconda was never an endgame ship. Elite Dangerous has NO end game. So I don't think you have a Source.

No the Truth is you got killed and you blaming a ship. Like other said if you lock on the nearest system and jump to it you would still be alive.

Are you a moebius player maybe? because probably you never run into a serious blockade. No use to insult my piloting skills, the fact that you favour an overpowered ship speaks by itself.

Could it be you don't have a good Type 9 setup? If you go on ship Forum and ask for help on how to set up a type 9 You might get some good ideas.

Maybe go on the Ship forum and ask for help on how to set up a Type 9 a NON-combat ship Trader ship.

I think you're the only one with a lack of skill here.

I can smuggle to 2G planetary stations in my T-9 without getting scanned. and I can almost certiantly evade a pirate long enough to hyperjump away.

No time to dig it up if indeed it is still there. Of course I do not pretend you trust my word as I have been already accused of trolling but whatever.

Really people, insulting my outfitting skill etc. that is trolling. Does not change the fact that the anaconda is an overhandwaviumpoweredship.

Nerf the conda

 

[Limoncello Lizard]

Not an argument you can use to defend the Anaconda. Stripped, it's lighter than a Python. Yet still masslocks a Type-9.

Bad thing is The Op could ask for help on Ship forums. What would be great countermeasures and how to get out of combat safely. I had a Type 9 and never had an issue. But when I was a noob and had a Barebone type 9 I had major issues. This was before Engineering was around

Nerf the conda

considering the Anaconda can be bested by the FDL, Cutter, And Corvette. and the fact that you are only complaining about the Anaconda instead of any of the other 3 Big vessels.

The assumption that you are trolling is probably true.

NEvermind the fact that you go of on wild statements about FDev saying things about the anaconda along with "Blackmail"

 

[lokvette]

Isn't this one of those things that FD know about but are in no rush to do anything about its been near on 4 years.

I fly a conda and after all the hours flying it I can't tell you anything about its stats, and probably wouldn't even notice if it was nerfed unless my Jump range took a dip and its no where as much as it could be, but more ahh that will do. Never been a fan of stats or min maxing.

Oh and inviting people to spam a thread is a sure way to get it closed. If said invites started spamming the request.

I don't really care for the Anaconda, but this is such a terrible pitch I'm going to say No anyway.

 

[Lestat]

Thing is I been here on Day one when elite dangerous was Alpha I don't remember a topic like that. But I have been able to dig up topics like David Braben and wormhole and why they should not be here.

Really people, insulting my outfitting skill etc. that is trolling. Does not change the fact that the anaconda is an overhandwaviumpoweredship.

So blame the game and not your outfitting skill? No. If you had an issue on a Type 9 stop being ashamed to ask for help. We all make mistakes.

Nerf the conda

Or be a real player and ask for help making a good defendable type 9. We all make mistake and a lot of time it overlooked by ourselves. I had an Anaconda with 17 ly jump range I went to Saga A and the farthest Station. Man, that was one long ride. The only good thing was I was able to Buy a few large Ships with the credit I earned.
