the reduction of it, is fair enough for both teams since the enemy had no chance against base player respawn point and got easily killed.

it sounds fair for those who have their drone maxed out. lets see if 25% could be 30%.

the free nick change was previously considered too and is a W imo, along with the drone buffs and the firebird nerf
the spawn protection decrease.. idrk if its a net benefit or drawback yet, we shall wait and see...

Magnum «AP» needs to be upgraded to place «AP» to everyone within a blast radius

Another status Magnum but I'll be glad if it becomes more popular than Incendiary Core since I have EMP immunity.

Booster and Defender buff is a W. Defender has as much armor as Crisis now, wow.

or all status magnums can provide status effect in a limited radius like AP magnum does currently. this would be more balanced imo and would encourage users to aim more accurately...

The defender is same as crisis now, but I think the strength of the Defender has exceeded the standard now, it should be nerfing.

25% ? Crisis does 30% at 0 level. Defender is now at PAR with crisis at max mu, why can't booster be ? It's not even half of the crisis's 60%. And if you wanna argue that crisis exposes you while you use damage because you won't have extra armor then how come booster uses 5 supplies while crisis only uses 3 whilst doing more than double the damage of booster.

Booster does more with these 25% than Crisis with it's 0% because of supply multipliers.

Even though its called Defender, it is rarely used for defending. 99% of the time, its used for attacking, which is very challenging (i wonder why). Booster is simply going to be used as F2P's camping Crisis. People are just going to camp with it. Trust me, camping doesnt need any help.

Tell me you're a camper without telling me you're a camper. Trust me buddy. You consume way more than 5  type supplies every 30 seconds with crisis if you're not just camping with double damage 24/7. 5 Supplies per switch would actually bankrupt small to medium buyers lol.

Interaction changes updated. The main thing is Striker, Thunder and Large Calibre Rounds Railgun will be much more efficient against light hulls.

Extra armour does not have the same outcome as extra damage.

Still no nerf to hammer assault augment, I got beamed by it despite the 50% protection hammer...

Don’t worry, they may still give it to all players. Maybe what they mean is, if you do it first time its free and rest we need to pay. (Not considering the past)
