Title. I'm all for giving a buff to the close range engagements, melee and Nova Knives will definitely benefit from this (*Grumbles* As will shotguns) but I can't help but think an 85% reduction in backwards movement speed is a bit much. It's going to slow things down to a literal crawl when walking backwards. 50% or even 60% would seem like a safer route to start with, easy to tweak without completely cutting out the ability to do something in the game.
No, I don't have any concrete arguments against it, it's just one of those things that seems to be a tad overdoing it.

I think you misunderstood, they're not nerfing back wards movement BY 85%, they're bringing it down TO 85% of front movement. In other words, it's only a 15% difference.

Thats how I read it as well. Backwards movement will equal 85% of forward movement. So 15% reduction which is quite reasonable imo.

Ooooh. Well, if that's the case, then awesome! Guess I had cloaks on the brain. Thanks for the clarification then!

I believe that backpedaling in your merc quarters is roughly 50% of forward movement; it feels unnaturally slow. Backpedal at 15% of forward movement would be like not moving at all. I suspect that 85% will feel pretty good, but we won't know 'til we get in there and try it out :-)

yes 85% of speed, not reduced by 85%

Honestly this will affect me as a speed scout more than most (arguably) but I feel that for the sake of balance and to help NK'ers 85% backwards speed sounds really quite fair to me.
We will only know when we get to test it hands on. But the numbers sound fair.
I roughly estimated that my backwards speed on my dragonfly will be around the 4.25 M/S while my forwards speed is around 5 M/S.

Edit: Stop liking my fail in reading comprehension, gosh darn it! It was like 4AM, I swear I wasn't drunk. the nerf was more aimed at preventing the male mercs from dryhumping the female mercs in the warbarge.

No, the side sprinting while shooting, literally running a circle around me while all I can do is essentially spin in place to try to keep up, needs to end.
You can't move backwards as fast as you can forwards. It's simple human physiology.
Nope. Confirming that pilot input is not, and never was, valued. - Breakin Stuff

I would have been shocked if one of these hadn't come along. I certainly don't mind though ^~^ Always nice to have someone join the party two days late. Now go on, Pokey, there are other threads who require nice people more than this one. Go spread that optimism to the other forum goers.

Me? Nice? I think you've got the wrong guy
I don't mind when people make mistakes, it's when they make mistakes and act like douches that I get pissed off. To be fair when I first looked at some of the % bonuses for the vehicle modules in that proposal, I thought Rattati had accidentally placed STD->PRO in reverse because the PRO module was a smaller %....obviously he was listing what it gets reduced TO and not BY which I quickly realized, but yeah, honest mistake considering most modules in-game are listed by what the reduction is, not by what it gets reduced to.
