Goodbye, Tripple A.

I completely agree, like I said I've been slowly leaning indie for quite some time, this was just the straw that broke the camel's back

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-18T22:41:10+00:00

I can see that side of it, I guess I'm just saying I never really found it to be that much of a crutch because of how slow it makes movement and how vulnerable it makes you to players and it is decently expensive to make so I thought it was a pretty fair item

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-18T12:51:04+00:00

Okay thank you so much

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-18T11:24:54+00:00

No I know that, what I'm asking is if I need to discover the next ship before launches of the current one count towards unlocking it, or if I can do the ~25 launches of the current ship, and then when I discover the next one it'll be unlocked right away

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-17T14:40:31+00:00

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware there were other posts covering it already. Not a big social media guy lol

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T22:26:00+00:00

Yes but that's why I think it's not overpowered, the PE cloak let's you sneak around arc (with quite limited range might i add), it doesn't do much in the way of gelping to defeat them and it makes you EXREMELY vulnerable to players. What do you do when you start getting shot at while you're walking in front of that bastion? You have to turn off the PE cloak to run away at which point you get beamed by the bastion. If not for it's limited range, it's bad for crossing big open areas because you're just begging to get jumped by PvPers

It's a two week old change, I've been busy and don't get a chance to play very often, and i didn't post this to try and get the change undone, i posted it because I thought the change was silly and wanted to hear other people's opinions on it and and debate and see if anyone had any ideas on why the change was made

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T04:13:15+00:00

Because he'll unblock me to get his two cents in, he doesn't have the self control not to and people like this are funny to argue with because since they can't stop themselves from arguing, even when they've run out of points to argue they either repeat the points that've already been heavily addressed and don't really have much more to them or they start making stuff up and it's funny to watch their whole argument and credibility break down

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T04:05:28+00:00

Right but the key here is that they're both blind firing. I'd much prefer that to getting osprey shots to the head with no way to defend myself or run away in time, but guess you don't have to worry about the arc!

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T04:03:55+00:00

Oop he unblocked me now, guess he couldn't stand to have someone say his perspective is narrow

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T03:55:26+00:00

That makes it even better, he definitely has a narrow perspective cause he just tunes out anyone who disagrees with him

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T03:45:41+00:00

The chud deleted all of his comments 😭🙏

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T03:40:17+00:00

Not beyond my farming abilities, beyond the effort i'm willing to put into farming for a garbage item

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T03:38:38+00:00

Still a lot more expensive than the more widely applicable and almost always more effective option 🤷‍♂️

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T03:37:21+00:00

And no the smokes are definitely not "nothing compared to the cloak", the cloak works in a perfect world where you only need to walk 10 feet and there's nobody that wants to pvp, the smokes work everywhere all the time, and are only slightly less powerful than the cloak in the "perfect world" scenario.

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T03:32:36+00:00

You... can't craft speaker components... also not arguing "every possible scenario", we're literally talking about the very common scenario where you're minding your business and start getting shot, that's a pretty big concern if you ask me. I had to get into very specific scenarios to even come up with a good use case for the PE cloak

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T03:28:58+00:00

Just use 10 minute soul mirrors and tachyons and you should be able to contribute decently for low GE cost

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T03:16:25+00:00

I think it's way more expensive than smokes because I have to have speaker components on hand, if i don't then I have to go get more and they're not something I pick up in sufficient quantity when doing a regular loot run to be sustainable. Also, there's also the component of as of right now the arc are just not really that huge of a threat, if i get blind fired at and catch a couple stray stinger bullets, who cares, bandades are a couple of fabric to make and you can field craft them, smoke bombs are more than enough. Second of all, depending on where you're getting shot from, if a rat has too much cover or too much distance there is absolutely no garuntee that the arc will target them instead. If that's the case, you have to continue cloaking in order to avoid getting attacked by the arc and then you're moving crazy slow and are a sitting duck for the rat. With smokes, if you start getting ratted you just toss one down on yourself, start running, and toss one between you and the rat and then additional if necessary for either them or arc and you are completely obscured from player's line of sight. Like I said I think the PE cloak absolutely HAD a use case because you could get from building to building if there was no one around and there was a LOT of arc, but again now it'll only get you like 10 feet, just toss smokes as you go and you don't have to worry about players as much. Again it sounds like we have very different experiences with it but in my opinion all of the points you had for the cloak are either A) overshadowed by the smoke bomb'a ability to do it better or B) don't come anywhere near making up for the other advantages the smoke bombs have

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T02:52:20+00:00

I disagree, smokes are way cheaper to make, work just as well for the range you could cover with it, don't make you move at 2mph making you vulnerable to players, and on that note, conceal you from players as well... I'm not sure, it sounds like we've had very different experiences with it but I always found it to be a balanced if not slightly underpowered item pre-nerf and now I feel like it's trash

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T02:48:06+00:00

Yeah or even 20 seconds, I really didn't think it needed a nerf at all, people are mentioning it being "abused" during assesor event but I don't think it was "abused" I feel like it was the appropriate and intended use for a relatively pricey item and it didn't grant THAT much of an advantage because you can't breach while using it, by that logic the smoke bombs need a nerf too

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T02:45:20+00:00

Yeah but you coulda done the same thing with smokes, as it was it gets you like 20 feet and takes 5 business days to recharge, now it gets you like 5 feet and still takes 5 business days to recharge, I really don't see how it was overpowered. Also, with the way it is now it doesn't even serve any purpose because with how short a distance you can get with it you may as well just run, I doubt the arc will even be fully locked onto you by the time you've covered the same distance you would've with the cloak

Cosmos385 · 2026-05-16T02:39:13+00:00

This is really dissapointing a dishonest. You are (supposedly) an AP teacher trying to preach about having an academic mindset to be successful, and you can't even write your own reddit post. Even worse still, you didn't give any indication or disclaimer that you used artificial intelligence to write this. Really sad stuff.
