I played a few games with a friend but we always get 2v2 which seem rather boring, is noone playing the 3v3+ games in matchmaking or should we just ignore matchmaking in general?

There is no battlefield mode in the matchmaking last I checked. Over the weekend I was setting up custom battlefield games, and they filled up fast.
Fired this up again to find, much to my surprise, that there were ~450 people online instead of the 12 I'd become accustomed to. Played a bit and found my prized armor brick cruiser to be less competitive than it used to be. Saw fewer stealth torp bombers too.
Has the balance changed? If the servers are active I might consider firing this up again but I'd like to know which of my ships to break out...Originally Posted by Dahak
also Mk3 scrub checking in.
I tried to be cool and all I got was a lousy warning about my sig being too big.
Still playing a stealth bomber... had a bit of a giggle a couple days ago, but then my team were ragequitting after they sat in mid and bubbled up, rather than engaging the flanking forces that were eating our lab and planet
Might swap out my scanner for a missile, as there are very few cloakers these days
Honestly couldn't say, it's been months since I last played a game due to lack of server population (thankfully now improved greatly). The DLC ships probably changed a bit, but I've just seen awful arty ships on my team.Has the balance changed?

Team of arties is a go?
Just fucking bulldoze through mid and start nuking their HQ? :P
6 arti would be horrible as you have a min range and a cone of fire so they will just ninja in and blitz you.
Most OP ship depends on the other team. If the other team are horrible then you can go 25:0 in an arti easily as they wont dodge or try and rush the arti. But if they are ok players then support is very nice atm as its hard to kill and has second highest DPS.
Trying to play a match that incidentally includes Skraeling, but the server is lagging terribly and my ship is spinning so quickly the light trails are drawing fucking pentagrams.
I think all my time in the Cruiser has been wasted. Support has identical stats save for having one more light turret per broadside and one less offensive/command skill slot. The deployable repair stations and turrets more than make up for that, though. Would be nice if I could roll my Cruiser XP/mods into the Support ship.
Support is 2 more light and 1 less medium on its broadside which is a slight dps increase pushing it into 2nd place behind dread. I wouldn't be shocked to see it lose its heavy gun and be replaced by a medium at some point tho.
Yeah support is overpowered right now. Turret hugging is not a very good tactic against good players tho - arty counters this.
Did they increase the grind needed to level up? I have mk5 cruiser from beta, but only mk1 other ships. After much playing am only nearing lvl2 on my other ships now >.<
Used the ultimate on cruiser a few times, was quite funny - got accused of hackingFlew in front of 2 torp salvos and soaked them to protect my team. Just need one more legendary medal for my cruiser to be maxed out. And even then there is no useful skill I could pick (battlefield only build).

They have actually reduced how much xp you need by 1/2. In the beta you needed 240k xp to get from mk 4 to mk 5 but now its only 120k and all the lower tiers were reduced by 1/2 as well.
Will have to do some 2v2 BF games with you at some point as if you get a good team you can mash though games rly fast. I think my best was 4 games in about 20 mins as we were just blitzing people off the map. Bets map to do is burning plasma as you dont have ppl sitting in blue clouds for 10 mins every game.
are there any guides out? I recently started playing the dread but I seem to either suck badly or just rip everything apart
Welp, what do you wanna know about the dread? Having trouble with the upgrades you are supposed to get or the skills? Do you die too often or are you unable to kill someone?
Main mistake dread pilots make are:-
- Going solo when any ship will win 1v1 against them (except another dread)
- Going in too close and just being cut down as they are big and slow
And sitting still like an idiot.
I skill the beacon and radar but I'm unsure what other skills would be really useful, currently I run emergency repairs and countermeasures for some defence. As for upgrades I get range, some of the damage ones (rof, +dmg etc) and armor
I don't die that often but it seems like my damage is lacking or they just run away unless chased by friends
75% off on Steam today FYI.
Ive got it, but ashamed to say never actually played. Is it worth it to get into?
