Default Re: PPB Rebalance Poll

Yes George, I know that you are not trying to keep me busy! Also, I know that you're very humble talking about your skills as SE4 player!

I understand your point. A good player without use PPB, can defeat a less trained player that's using PPB.
I know (as Rollo told me in one of their mails), that a game is not only decided by the weapon: good start position, race design, expansion, politics, luck, etc,etc and the more important (as we discussed in other topic!) the
Sensors + ECM + Aggressiveness + Defenssiveness + Stealth Armor + Scattering Armor + Training factors, are decisive in a game too. For example, if you have PPB but can't hit the ships of your enemy, surely you will lose anyway.

But talking about "ideal" conditions, where both players have similar skills, similar luck, similar starting position, etc, if one guy is using the PPB but the other not... who is using the PPB will have the advantage, a big one.

I have no more arguments. Maybe this is the reason because I'm frustrated!

I learned that the hard way.

Since there is a large opinion of various opinions,, my opinion only, is, just make it easier to mod, that way, everyone would be able to design it they way they like or dislike,
