Fusion Rifle and Fusion Cannon

I've said this before, distance does not give more experience, which means that it does not help with the balance. Also, tanks get a fair amount of distance too, with laser cannons at least.

I do not believe that spies and pe's should have to use drones to get an experience-rate anywhere close to that of monks and tanks.

Thats true!

Tank range is pretty much all you need with the shitty visible range that we have.

However you can xp well enough with non droner PE's and non droner spies. Problems arise in places like mc5 and woc caves but should every class be able to do everything?

Yes tanks have it all and yes removing aoe drones would solve a dozen exploits. Still, i dont believe non D spies and Pe's should have even near equal aoe to tanks for instance.

Dont use spies range to argue that they dont deserve aoe, it doesnt give em much advantage over a tank and its not logical anyways.

However i must ask... How the fuck do all those rockets fit in that little drone, especially when the drones are as light as they are :confused: ?

You shouldn't directly compare like for like with Spy's and Tanks. They're different and so they should be. Spy's and PE's have other skills not available to Tanks or Monks. Should we all have the exact same abilities to supposedly "balance"? No Fucking way! What the fuck sort of game would it become?
This is a really stupid and pointless thread that I feel I've wasted way to much time on already. A question was asked and it's been answered, just because some people don't like the answer doesn't make it wrong.
This thread has run it's course, somebody close it already.

since neocron 1 this great concept has slowly, but constantly, been weakened. what a fail imho ;( LOM pills have been introduced. spells and weapons with new abilities have been added to balance the itempool inbetween character classes. far more changes than i could recap here... in the early days, decisions were persistant. if your con setup sucked, well, there was no way to undo that... instead of playing the char "as is" or creating a new one.

So you obviously dont remember neocron 1 before so called specialization patch (end of open beta or start of retail) ... no 179% dmg bullshit .. if for eg gun had STR 35 H-C 50 everyone who meet reqs was able use it with same effect (same dmg etc). no matter you specced HC 50 or 150. That was fun and that changed nothing to balance bcuz spies wasnt able spec anything about STR 50 (if i recall good @ that times spies got max STR 45 w/o imps+drugs). You whine KK introduced LOM pills and many more weapons ... but they needed to do this becuz instantly ppl wasnt able to use many items. Imagine how funny was game if you didnt need to overspec reqs on every gun by 200%, how much more skills were you able to use. KK wanted to "kill the fly" -> Monk and Tradeskillers hybrids but they used nuke instead a newspapper and that in my opinion was first step to lower fun/populations. There were many other solutions for hybrids. Now game is too complicated and with pops like now you cant be self suficient w/o 2 accounts (and you need to be self sufficient bcuz pops are joke).

Btw i dont have problem with making Monk and Tradeskiller hybrids inefective or making resist like they are now.

PS. Mayby it was all different and im not remember it corectly lol it was 6 years ago O_o

I do agree with a lot of what you say but I very much don't believe giving AoE to classes that shouldn't have it will fix those things. It's altogether a different argument anyway and one I'm not about to get sucked into either.

Pes levle dex with Hc Setup not that much like with rifles/pistols or drones but they do an they can get on good ae cannons ( should be better but they can )

whatever. the hohle disscusion depends on get fast Exp with Ae to become fast woc. thats what is all about. no one talks about the useless of the Antivhc Rocket lauchers these days or the anti airs stuff ( of course because of the useless of Vhc at mom )

to be honest Woc has killed to much setups specially for Pe an spy classes
the diffrence between an Ak47 and an Pain easer for example is so big that of course everyone will prefer the woc rifle and Woc to get more damge
the Non rare wepons are mostly useless now for Pvp and only a few rare realy works these days
for an Pe as an result that means He NEED woc to get along with the tanks ans spys no Hc Pes running arround at ops / No Mc Pes also no Psi Pes no driver/gunner etc etc
