from what i remember, a fully armed itac with combat drones, could be safe in fed, if they had 300 alignment and above i believe.

Attack rating for drones changed once before to be based upon exp this was before 1.5 I think. Although I am with you on this, not everything has to be perfectly balanced because then we should just take all the races out except one. I see nothing wrong with ikks being able to keep drones on their ships in fed.Edgecrusher wrote:I don't mean to be a spoilsport here, but what exactly is the problem with ikky's fedding? Yes, they can keep more drones, but isn't that one of the advantages of being ikky?
By the way, the minimum attack rating with which you can fed was never based on xp, what people are referring to is that in the old days, cds contributed more to your attack rating. Therefore you could still fed as a 5/ when you were good, but that only meant 100 cds or so. I am all for increasing cds to have a higher offensive rating: this doesn't influence the balance of the game in any way (MS will show as 22/21, but will still do the same amount of damage), except for the fedding.
Things can be balanced without being identical..JettJackson wrote:Attack rating for drones changed once before to be based upon exp this was before 1.5 I think.

No I know Page. I just think this isn't as big of a deal as people make it. I think the max you can have in fed at 5/ is 275. That only matters early when hunting, after that you are either on a planet or in ms or both.Page wrote:Things can be balanced without being identical..JettJackson wrote:Attack rating for drones changed once before to be based upon exp this was before 1.5 I think.

Name me one time you saw an ITAC fire 275 drones, I can tell you that number is 0the570z wrote:I just dont like the fact that CDs are so under-rated in attack rating. 275 CDs is the equivalent of about 4 Large Pulse Lasers... Hell the two HPLs that take an ITAC from a 5/17 to a 13/17 add 8 to its attack rating and only in rare cases do they do more damage then the CDs do.
yes and what happens when you fight someone and those drones go away? stop looking at this as if the ikky is never hurt.the570z wrote:150 drones is 300 damage... 4 large pulse lasers usually only hit with 2-3. Thats 120-180 damage. So an ITAC normally launches between 50-90 drones wouldnt you say? So yes, 4 Large Pulse lasers is just barely equal to 275 drones.
