So am I going to get flamed for this? Probably.
Since the patch (6-7 weeks ago?) I have been missing spamming and being spammed with Precision Strikes..
Why you ask? Because when your running through a controlled point on a skirmish match with your teams PS killing everyone in sight is FUN, it gets the adrenaline going. Same can be said for when a group of guys secure a location on Ambush, would be good to flush them out. And same goes for being holed up fighting off the enemy when a PS comes in and clears everyone out, it stops the game stagnating, it can scare away tanks also.
Now I know everyone is like 'QQ I hate anything that one shots me' Forges, snipers, missile turrets for example. BUT If the game was staying true to 'EVE' then when the game goes live we are going to have 4-5 ships waiting to pound down but really at best they might get 2 in 15minutes?!? This is surely going to be boring from there POV?
What I would like to see is the point cap reduced by 25-50% so we can have more Precision strikes again, its a fun part of the game, and from what I witnessed it keeps the battle 'flowing' rather than getting red lined and being stuck there until the end of the game.
'Well Guinevere thatGÇÖs all well and good but the noobs! think of the poor noobs!'
Firstly, if the 'Noob' team has at least one squad that is doing it's job then it's going to at least give you a break if youGÇÖre stuck in the red line, and opportunity to grab a cap point that could turn the tide of battle.
My suggestion is if we are reducing the cap how about reducing the damage as well? Maybe decrease the splash damage so a direct hit is a kill but the splash is survivable.
IGÇÖm really just chucking ideas out here, but I think we need Precision Strikes back. I want to see the skies bleeding rails!!. |

The EVE players will be using Orbital Bombardment which will be it's own mechanic (there's ammo for it in EVE for at least a couple types of gun with differing stat spreads).
Also, word to the wise, Precision Strikes will not kill tanks, so unless that tank is already heavily damaged and on the run a PS shouldn't really alter it's behavior.

Fair enough, I hadn't realised there will be a different mechanic in place purposely for EVE /facepalm. I should probably change my post as the theory still applies.
I mention scaring away tanks not killing em ;) Also if its anything below a decent fit Gunloggi I would say it hasn't got much of a chance against a Precision Strike from what I have seen.
Cheers for the sensible reply! |
