I didn't PvP all month, maybe longer.. and the one time I came back, this guy ( who could never kill me before 1v1 ) killed me with ease. I couldn't figure it out, he was using constant placate skills on me, ( obviously trying to hide the fact that he was TBRing me ) a totally lame tactic. Dying to a sci ship with phased polaron beams THE SHAME lol.
I guess the truth about the devs hurts eh. Clearly it did judging from the warning I just got. They must be doing what i suggested rather than actual work cause I see very little REAL content being developed in the time frame it should be as opposed to mmo's who make less money and get more out there with less bugs. Go ahead ban this account so I can join you on the next one LOL.

Look who's blaming the game now lol! At least we know how to down those bugs now.

What are you talking about? Blaming the game? Yeah 10k Hull Damage a tick with full shields up, usually dead in 10 seconds, if not, then I'm at 10% hull before they cooldown and kill me 10 seconds later, and that is with 3x kinetic resist consoles too, yeah... that is completely normal and just not a bug that people are exploiting. *slaps my forehead*
lol okay, and doing 10k+ with TBR and killing someone in under 10 seconds, that is completely normal :3
i said that when i was running without particle consoles, i ran TBR quite often before all this. i got a ship that will deal those 10k hits, and escorts that can deal at least 6k. i am well aware of the lulz.
I actually dusted off the Varanus Support Vessel, outfitted with TBR2x2 and went into PVP.
My sci/sci was top damage dealer and my TBR use was moderate, not spammy..but then, I recall being spammed like crazy by feds next match..anyway only had 2 PG consoles to buff..but even still..I put that ship away again. Thats evil.
Multiple players have now brought this thread to my attention via PMs. Unfortunately, the best I can tell you at this time is that we're investigating it. We know the root cause of the scaling issue, and why it only recently began being noticed (the Kinetic damage component of TBR did not previously benefit from Particle Generators, until a recent patch), but a solution has not yet been decided on.

particle gens have effected TBR kinetic damage since the skill tree change. i think it works well, graviton for push, particle for damage
but the current scaling is a problem. how it was before was fine.

this is untrue. pariticle gen always affected it. i know because some pvp matches my bug would put on tbr and i had to decide if i wanted push or damage. but now this is insane. i actually want to go grab a mk12 console just for this............
