Some Feedback on Cascade Feedback

posted on February 8th, 2010, 6:15 am

Hey, I just did a test with cascade feedback.  I pitted 15 C-11s against one norway and used cascade feedback on it.  The shields dropped to about 35% and the special energy loss was so low that when I clicked on the norway it was almost back up to full power.  Am I missing something?

I guess I feel that since it's designed to take out support ships, 15 should do some significant damage.  And the energy loss, which is what I'm more concerned about I guess, was negligible.  No one would ever spam 15 C-11s in a game they want to win, so how effective are 4-6 of them going to be?

This is payback for the damage they did before
You are right though, it does very very very little damage atm - I hope its a bug and they fix it

Yeah, you make one nerf thread and are labeled a Nerf-o-matic for the rest of your life.

It's really an interesting kind of symmetry.  Before, 1 C-11 could take out 30 ships.  Now it takes 30 C-11s to take out one ship.

More than a year now, eh Mal?

I'll never get to use cascade feedback in my Dominion fleet.  I think Optec does this to play a mean trick on me.

"Whoops!  Just another 'miscalculation'..."
