Sorry for using you as a example Jester i am just curious about it

Jester was level 20. I was lvl 25. I destroyed 83 drones.. so 153 out of 192 drones shot at me? Roughly 80% of drones firing at me when i have 5 levels on him? Is that a little much? It seems the ITAC is beefed up a bit.

You are forgetting that players fire simultaneously. So the amount of drones he has at the beginning of the round is the amount that fires at you.

actually trigek, xdx sounds right. players dont fire simultaneously, the top player fires first. the bottom player fires too, even if the top player killed him, but he would fire with the reduced drones. this is how things used to be, maybe they got changed. dunno

Nope, this got changed to both players fire simultaneously. THis is one of the reasons the ITAC became overpowered (in some people's opinion).

wow, that coulda gotten me an easy podride. i need to keep up on things

That is not right. The shooter should have small advantage. The Defender has advantage to watch the shot with CS screen. Think about it in battle, if i fire, then i get first hit and he returns fire. If it says i destroy the drones then the drones should be gone. I understand that the ship will fire back if it is destroyed, but the drones should not. The Drones is offense and defense. It is unbalanced. This is something that needs to change.

cloak is imbalanced, imo

Do not change the topic Kerkem.

the fact of the matter is that itac threads and cloak threads are started almost weekly, and they never go anywhere or change anything.
Why bother with another one?
