Re: New Patch?
I don't think that the PPB itself is the problem. I think that the counter-measure not working is the problem. If it worked properly you would be able to use Emissive Armor to deal with PPB. But because it has always been 'all or nothing' it has never been useful. Either it completely blocks the damage, and you are immune, or it does nothing and you are using an expensive piece or armor for no reason. If it would subtract the rated amount of damage from hits even when they exceed the emissive rating it would be working properly and be a pretty decent way to resist the PPB and other shield-ignoring weapons. Instead it becomes useless when cruisers appear and can use 'large mount' weapons.
