After my 5th pug match of having my team or the opposing team wiped out by tric users I've rather had enough.

They have become the number one defacto way of killing. It's getting to the point where half the players in a match are using them. Doesn't matter what career the captain is, they're always deadly. It's relly starting to get peoples backs up or in some cases just put them off pvp all together.

It's seriously beginning to ruin the game.

I'm not just talking PvP here, I'm talk PvE as well. They've made everything from Borg elite tactical cubes to the gates, shield or unshielded, total walkovers. I remember someone bragging in my team how his tric mines are taking out whole borg cubes without having fired anything else.

They are a no-skill-required method of playing the game.

Completely agreed. /support

The mine should do no more damage than a torpedo
Because the mine moves to the target

Take away the mines movement and it would be fine

But a moving mine is really a slow torpedo
And should be limited to torpedo damage rates

i bolded the real problem. see how easy it was to fix this for ya?



ummm... if they move slower then torps (your own admission) why should they be limited to the same damage as torps? they do a little bit more damage then torps because they move way slower. thats the trade off.

tric's in general are only effective if they hit. maybe you should try not letting them hit ya?

They don't hit me, they hit non moving Borg
Cubes and gates

Some of our fleet members use them, finished infected elite
Today with 9 minutes left on the timer

9 minutes.......
It's interfering with pve
And just one of many broken pvp Features which
Is so broken that it doesn't matter I'n pvp


I want it fixed so it doesn't mess up pve

Aoes, you have now yes?

No?

Get AOE

Trics are so easily countered, it's not even funny. It is a trade off that they get more damage because they are targetable and move slowly. Not to mention if your shields are up, they do negligible damage. I think if you spent more time learning to use all of the various counters, you'd have more fun in pvp.

As for pve, any pvp setup is a joke to use in pve. You will always roll pve in a pvp ship.

Or maybe if the ai was actually smart enough to actually defend itself... Or maybe balance shields, or maybe do more then just occasionally one shot people, this wouldn't be an issue eh?

Awwww how sad you don't want it to mess up your pve, what about all the **** in pve that messes up our pvp? Or the **** that's about to be added for pve that will screw up pvp even more? Can I get that fixed so it doesn't mess up our pvp?

1st i have to say that wasnt reading all reply 2 this thread, but lets stick with the subject.

2nd Tricobalt mines are not OP at all, i don`t know if any of u guys mentioned number of ships that are included in PvP`s, and i mean ships like pets and photonic fleet. Having at least 1 carrier on each side number of ships increases up to more than 20 ships flying around, and tricobalt mines will activate any ship that flies nerby them and destroy them. So in lot of cases u will have tricobalt mines blowing up a pet or photonic sleet ship. Also tricobalt mines are effected by lot of skills, i mean they can be easily destroyed by TBR, GW, EW, TR, Torp spread, CSV.

And finnaly, u will laugh to this but its possible, player who carries trico mines can kill his own teammates too. How?
This what happend to me, i was playing with trico mines in pvp match, i have buffed my skills APA, APO, TT1, DBB1, deployed mines under enemy`s ship that was hold, and he used AMS, what happend? - Big boom i killed 2 teammates. Since then i play with tran. mines in PvP, and trico in PvE.

GL & HF with that "OP" mines
