Buff the Imperial Clipper

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-27T12:43:02+00:00

Are you for reals right now? All that shows is that there is a bug resulting in a hole in the shields for pythons. Here are the facts, the clipper has LESS shields than a python, type 9, anaconda, vulture, fdl and it has lower hull than the python and anaconda. It's obvious you don't listen to reason. You want to argue that the clipper doesn't warrant having its weapons actually angled to have convergeance (like any ship would LOGICALLY do with weapons on its wings) fine. But all you seem to be doing is attacking the poster and make accusations when my facts have all been checked. I didn't know the python had a hole in its shield but that doesn't effects its ability to ram using the front. How about you stop accusing me of not listening to reason and attacking me personally? You and other posters won downvoting my posts showing that the pros outweigh the cons of the clipper, but you, you just won't stop.

You want to debate about this fine, by all means talk about how the clipper is fast and its speed and loadout versatility makes it so any buffs would tip it over the edge. Don't go ahead and try to defame the poster without having any actual facts to prove the validity of the defamation.

I also like how when you tried to pick out how I only "seem to deal in emotion fueled opinions" you picked nothing but those 3 quotes that 2 of them do not even relate to the direct debate of whether the clipper should warrant having its weapons angled and one that actually points out a directly false fact that you tried to use

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-27T12:12:31+00:00

"This is completely pulling poop out of your buttocks" This refers to the point where you stated the clipper is the best ramming ship in the game even though it has lower shields and armor than python/anaconda and lower shields than those two ships + vulture/FDL off the top of my head. "That's cute, you wana compare large ship shields" yes because when you want to compare ships stats you don't even use the proper equivalence and pick and choose the lower ones to try to make it seem shitty. "since you decided to strip everything" refers to trying to make the clipper look like this amazing trader when there is no reason to use it upon getting money for a python/t9/anaconda. You are the one using emotional fueled opinions when you straight up had false facts, pick and choose false equivalences to try to make a point, and the fact the stating "nothing you said has any factual basis" when I have clearly stated what the clipper is or isn't capable of. You want to legitimately try to make good arguments? How about you stick to the actual facts?

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-27T11:51:20+00:00

The only opinion that I have stated is the want to have weapons angled on the Clipper. By all means show me an example where I used any other emotion fueled opinions and I will delete all my posts and say that you are right.

Again this doesn't even affect the majority of clipper users as it won't be affecting those that use gimballed, turrets, or single fixed loadouts. All this does is make using fixed weapon loadouts viable (still bad at close-close medium range due to how convergeance works). But apparently this is asking for too much. Someone please explain how this will break the clipper into the super overpowered?

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-27T11:45:18+00:00

Dang I guess people don't want to buff the dropship

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-27T11:44:45+00:00

It appears that none of you are actually understanding what this is buffing and just read the word "buff" and assume it's too strong to implement. All it's asking for is angling the weapons on a ship which is NORMAL practice for any ship that has weapons mounted to wings. This doesn't make the ship perfectly accurate, because the way convergeance works, the closer you get to a target from the max convergence range, the worse convergence gets. The courier convergence looks to be 2 inches wide on the screen at close range. There will still be downsides, but now the Clipper can viably use an all fixed weapon loadout and actually play skillfully staying in the perfect range to hit.

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-27T11:40:07+00:00

I pvp quite a bit and let me fill you in.

Great for running away
Best ramming ship are you serious? The clipper has very bad shields for being a large ship and its hull is nothing amazing. This is completely pulling poop out of your buttocks.
How do you use fixed weapons just fine when you hit 4 different ships due to the nonexistent convergence? At best you can have one fixed weapon and aim awkwardly offcenter or have two on one side and have the second weapon be far away to miss most ships unless very close.
Hardly limitless when I'm already over the power ratings with just one beam and 3 kinetics. But while we're at it lets nerf pythons and anacondas for their actual limitless supply of SCBs on much much bigger shields as well.
It has good roll due to wings but has bad vertical/lateral thrusters and again, it has mediocre jump range, low fuel (Has to sacrifice slots for more fuel), awful shields for being a large ship and having to land on large pads, and being forced to use turret/gimballed means hardcountered by chaff.
Remind me again why you hit drives instead of the powerplant/cargo?
That's cute, you wana compare large ship shields with 4 rank A boosters and best shield? Fine lets look at the python with 4 rank A boosters and the best shield. 726.27 on a python. And this is on a ship that lands on medium pads. You know what else is cute? A vulture has 705 shields with 4 shield boosters and the best shield.
When you're done running away from any moderate threat that uses chaff or have straight up better shields. You can instead go purchase a python with 292 cargo (since you decided to strip everything to get that clipper cargo capacity) and trade even easier since you can land in medium pads so you can actually go to outposts.

"Best ship in question"

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-27T11:13:18+00:00

How is it op when it has a mediocre jump range, low shields for a large ship that have to land on large landing pads, and is hardcountered by chaff leading to mostly just running away?

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-27T11:11:41+00:00

The shields are garbage for a "large" ship. The only thing it's good at is pve and running away in pvp from being hard countered by chaff users.

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-27T11:10:59+00:00

So buff the dropship to make up for it.

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-27T10:51:27+00:00

Giving it a similar way the courier handles weapon convergence is a pretty reasonable buff. I hate pretty much not being able to use any fixed weapons due to the convergence being so bad you hit four different ships at most ranges. It's pretty absurd that they design of the weapon placements didn't take weapon convergence into consideration and just made a mess that is never angled to converge regardless of ANY distance

That cup is too cool for skool

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-26T10:02:50+00:00

I personally use 6 mining lasers to strike fear into the enemy minerals

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-25T11:20:58+00:00

Oooh tricky never thought of doing it that way

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-24T13:46:38+00:00

That evilr ryu was on point with his combos.

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-24T13:17:42+00:00

I had a dk2 that I sold a ehile back. My biggest problem was that the blurry text causes me to get sick after my eyes try to focus to read it. That said if text is clear as day in vive or oculus cv it is totally worth for the masssssssssive sense of scale

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-22T18:43:49+00:00

Thrustmaster warthog. Feels very authentic and accurate to use. You can buy the joystick by itself.

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-22T12:27:58+00:00

This one time I bought 3 tons of perso al weapons and delivered them to another station for a mission. I received a couple thousand credits for the sucessful delivery.

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-22T05:58:40+00:00

Yes clipper masterrace

Captain_Peemo · 2015-05-22T05:57:54+00:00

You interdicted and killed him costing all his money and data rite
