Time for this again, please nerf them.

I got this from this gentleman, you can read more about it here.

What's that? SCB definetly aren't broken?

The argument that there are disadvantages to using SCB as they do weigh a bit and they do use internal compartments but still that is triple if not quadruple the health with SCBs.

I'll also make sure to make a graph myself on how overpowered the docking computer is.

Fight fight fight! Kiss kiss kiss..

Beliave it or not most Xbox pilot's are not as good as you seem to be, my FGS(more firepower armor and shield's than your DBS) can and will get it's but kicked by SCB stacker's no contest. It's the textbook example of an apex armor tanker(for medium ship's) it's slow handle's slugish and relies on it's firepower and armor(and to a much lesser degree shield's) to compensate. The DBS you said you fly has the handling to stay out of enemies line of fire, so armor tankig is WAY easier(same wit FAS too).

I'm not sure how I feel about the shield tanking meta. atm i kinda see shield cells as being the battle rifle (halo) or gnasher (gears) of elite, if you know what I mean. My first go at pvp a few days ago I took on a python with a vulture who had more cells than I did, but had to screw off because I hit the silent running despite still having shields up while he was down into hull. Had I not messed up (and didn't have police shooting at me), I could have taken him despite him having more ehp than me.

I definitely would like to see armor tanking become a thing, so there's alteast another option instead of shield tanking. If they did something to cell banks, at most I think they should just do is reduce amount of charges you get or increase the "start up" time on them. Anything more would be a little too extreme.

Remember this is vs a plasma accelerator only, SCB's are likely here to stay, and I think personally it is because combat is not meant to be rush boom, these are meant to be powerful ships every single one, yes conda rises a lot above the rest but considering how expensive such a conda is to fit, it should, because the ship is built to be better? And consider that there's quite a few players about that are beginning to figure out how to fly with no shields and use stealth runs and actually take down people larger then themselves that do have SCB's? I think there's more to the issue then what we know..

Never used them myself, but surely the easy answer (if FD do want to nerf them) is just to change it so they are impossible to stack (like shield generators are).

How does the armor compare to shields when being attacked by small and medium hardpoints though? Remember they take a penalty to hull damage but not to shields, so it's far easier to do shield damage.

Also, just speaking from personal experience here, has anyone ever been attacked by someone that had maximum capacity SCB's because I have not...

All you need to do is have 2 medium kenetic weapon's, they damage about as much as a large VS hull, plus no matter how heavy you make the armor there are always the Rail's PAC's and Cannon's that will mostly bypass the armor with subsystem targeting.

You really can't fail with integrated and incrementally aligned paradigm shield shifts.
The best solution according to the chart can only be knowledge-based strategic flight orientated innovation.

I honestly think that Elite like most communities need to pull the binky out ;) People cry nerf way too much....

As soon as SCB are nerfed someone will figure out a new meta and inept players will cry NEEEEERRRRFFFF!!!! It really is a never ending cycle.

Whatever FD decides to do will be fine with me. :)

In PvP, I almost guarantee my genitals that you'll get sent to the scrap yard against a stacked python or anaconda.

I see nothing wrong with scb... bigger the ship, bigger the investment, and scbs to protect said investment. Dont wanna deal with them, dont fight ships most likely carrying them, nerf this buff this, its like people treat everything as a menu. Same people constantly finding something to complain about, stop trying to make ED "your " game, play it enjoy it, or move on.

This made beer come out of my nose.

I was going to give you rep, but because my nose is sore I'm not.

Oh my god. More whining.
Every online game seems to attract it's fair share of whining as far as wanting to "nerf this" or "buff that", but ED really takes it to a whole new level.
Seriously. Some people spend more time whining on this forum than they do playing the dam game.
Nerf scb's. Get rid of solo. Nerf scb's. Get rid of solo. Nerf scb's. Get rid of solo.

Get a grip.
