The issue primarily is that FDEV are still fucking retarded.

The reason that having those super high shield caps was awesome was not just the tankiness but because you spent a shit ton less downtime between each ship(especially as PVE). Those shields I have on my Cutter would take over 45Minutes to fully charge.

The issue here is that FDEV doesn't give a flying fuck about our time. ANd doesn't design proper combat mechanics.

The New Reboot and repair your shield thing is great. And will drastically cut down-time between fights. Increasing shitty players cash flow per hour.

But seriously, they still got a shit ton of work to do and seeing as how Shields are essentially getting a triple nerf across the board, what with PA's still getting a minor buff plus absolute damage, and a shit ton else I haven't even looked into.

The Changes are also far more complex than previous ones, and a lot of people can't take in all that information easily. So the most easily provoked least likely to take the time to think ones are going to be grabbing their pitchforks. Why do we call it pitchforks? Because it's not like they come from the richest/geekiest of backgrounds.
