and UGTO face the same annoyance there with our fighters.

i never really figured out why pulse shield had to be buffed.

it worked great the way it was, and all the buffing did was nerf what little long range capabilitys UGTO/K'luth had to the point where its hardly worth using them against ICC.

carriers were rare enough as it was because of that pulse shield, now they seem to be extinkt.

UGTO needs a carrier worth its name that has the dame damage potential as the missile dread. not sure if K'luth missile dread does that already so cant comment on that.

Eh... About the F2 Map... Yeah, it's glitched if you understand how the glitch works. You can see sensor contacts on the map for about 1-2 seconds even if they're not in sensor range of any allied ships.
For example, if say... An enemy ship jumps out of combat range and leaves the sensor range of your ships, their icon will move away, stop at the edge of your sensor range, hang there for a couple of seconds, and disappear. If you close F2 before they move out of sensor range, and their icon was already on your map, when you reopen F2, their icon still needs 2 seconds to fade... And it's glitched, because the map continues to update their position even though you don't have a sensor contact, thus, you have about 2 seconds to locate their exact position before their icon disappears.
This can be used to track ships that have jumped away if you can locate their icon before it disappears... It can also be used to track Kluth and if you extrapolate their position properly, you can even hit them with manual targetting. If they're too far away, it at least gives you an idea of what direction they're going and gives you an idea of where to go with your eccm pings.

Really?
Fighters start shooting you about 1k out... and do massive damage. yeah when they get to 300gu we can pop pulse wave.. but are we in combat at the time? if so we wont be poping it all the time. uses alot of energy...

maybe the dev's should take a look at this because if this is the case, then it basically becomes an exploit because it circumnavigates the system in place for kluth to avoid dectection.

tried it today against a cruiser with the agincourt, and it looked like the pulse shield recharges as fast as my fighter bays did, so even if they did do alittle damage each time they sure didnt do enough to be on par with the missile dread.

but really, what would you rather face at range, a carrier or a missile dread?

missile dreads both recharge faster and launch more mieeiles then the carrier launch fighters.

and really, what ICC lets enemy fighters live if they can help it?
