While isidas are great weapons for team battles, their update a while ago made them technically the "best short range weapon" in the game. I think its too unfair since it does about 100-200+ damage (as listed on in garage, which converts to about 25-50+ more) more compared to firebird and freeze for each tier. Although firebird and freeze have a slightly higher range, it doesn't make up for the difference in damage. In small maps, all a team would have to do to hypothetically win, would be to all use isida with medium/heavy hulls. If you are getting attacked by an isida/hornet full on powerups while you do too, and you have hunter or any hull lower than that, with any weapon other than isida.(saying both players have all non upgraded m3s and no protections against either weapon, and that both players are traveling in a straight line). The only chances at surviving the non isida would have would be knocking them off course which would require some kind of turn and force which could also slow them down, or to use some of the terrain around them as an obstacle, which is only situational. If the other player was using: thunder, smoky, firebird, freeze, striker, ricochet, or rail, (assuming the isida doesn't miss any hits) would die. If the player was using shaft or vulcan and had already had it fully charged, they could live. If the player was using magnum might kill the isida but if they did it too late they would kill themself as well. My opinion on the update that changed isida is that it was not considered that much and mainly focused on people complaints about the self healing part. Maybe the admins did consider what it would do, maybe they thought it would be fine, but if they thought that then they didn't really consider it much or care. (I am aware the update on its healing could be said that it "balances" it overall, but specifically for damage it doesn't. In shorter terms: removing its vampirism was reasonable, but why not just make the damage about the same as freeze and firebird if it costs slightly less than freeze overall and slightly more than firebird. People know this, it's just common sense, that isida is great. So they'll use it, which is fine, but it unbalances battles. It's very easy to see, all you have to do is take notice of it.

I am in this club

I am in this club

I wanted to ask this before I decided on putting it in the game violation section because I don't have screenshots or video athough I do have many witnesses that saw some of it and one friend who saw pretty much all of it ( I am describing the whole situation from the beginning in order for you to understand it completely): I was in a bridges ctf battle and pretty much everyone is drugging (excluding me, mostly) and I call another player using rail and hornet who is drugging a noob, and say "you're nothing without your drugs". Then when the battle ends, a thunder viking (who is 4 or so ranks higher) thinks that I was insulting them, they say they coud beat me and then leave when the battle is over, i leave too. I am in another battle later when the thunder invites me to a battle in sandbox dm, so I go. They are there with a friend from their clan (the leader), and they ask why I insulted them, I tell them I wasn't insulting them, and then they want to start a clan war. I refuse and they still want to have one. They keep insisting for me to get someone else to battle with from the clan i'm in while calling me scared because I didn't awnt to have a clan war (because they would obviously win), so I go to their battle (because they are refusing to come). I will admit when i got to the battle my friend was in, I said "two pathetic buying druggers want to start a clan war", they then arrived and I continued talking to them about the clan war. I told them that I would not have the clan battle since our leader didn't know, but they still insisted and continued by calling our leader "trash" and "a noob" simply because they were a lower rank and had m1s, and not m2 or m3s. I said that we could have the clan battle in a few days or something, they didn't reply. I told them that we would not have a clan battle but we would do a battle just because why not. I didn't make the battle because I didn't have a pro pass, or enough crystals to get one (I had recently upgraded my turrets and hulls some, and I hadn't been super active lately). One of them made the battle (which was a pro battle with drugging off, autobalance on, space mode off, ff off, and all the other normal things that a pro battle without drugging would have. We started the battle (it was in sandbox ctf to 10 no time limit, and was a 2v2). They started off winning, we scored 1 when they were at 2 or so. Then the leader of their clan went afk so we stopped even though it was an uneven battle and score. They came back and the battle continued for another 10-20 or so minutes before they won. I was still annoyed but less than before, now that I could go back to completing missions with out interference, and we all left the battle. I went to the clan chat and saw that my friend who was in the battle with me had been yelling at me earlier for getting into a clan war with the other clan (our clan tag is PSS which isn't a clan for pros exactly, it is for fun and to be improving without super strict rules or having a good kd or being a buyer); (their clan tag is: Tasty and in the description and rules it clearly says that it is a clan for buyers, and people who are going to be active and who have a good kd etc.). I replied and said that I didn't start a clan war and that it was the thunder who started it by accusing me and targeting this clan because it was smaller and said "it's not my fault that two buying druggers went looking for anyone to have a clan war with". I then went to the other clan's description of their clan war's and saw that they had counted the 2v2 battle we had as a clan battle, when we had not agreed on it and they had said that they would be down for a battle "for fun"! I then was furious but didn't feel like complaining to them because they would just say that I was salty or something. That is why I wrote this,; because I feel that the leader and the member of the other clan were using their level and equipment (m3s and their reputation? you could say) to say that they beat us in an actual clan battle, when it was not an actual clan battle. I just wanted to know if it would be reasonable to still send a complaint about this. (I do have the names of the players who did this, and have witnesses that saw what happened, but I have no video evidence or screenshot so I do not know if you will think this matters.

I would choose m1 freeze and m1 viking because you're getting 2 over 1, freeze is really good on defense and in general and viking is pretty good strong and not really slow hull. Kits are really good to save for though because with each kit you get supplies too.
