Thanks for putting this out. 100% in agreement with this. CMDRs maximizing only one aspect in a ship build do not understand the game mechanics. PDTs, ECM, Chaff, module reinforcements etc. should all be part of a balanced ship build. CMDRs only putting shield boosters on their utility slots are asking for trouble. The game mechanics are balanced in a way to punish lopsided ship builds.

[@TheAustrianTuber]

i actually did this video because you kinda "requestet" it and gave me the input to do such a video :D,.thx for that mate ^^ and yes, i totally agree, there arent too much "unbalanced" things in this game,..there r just unbalanced ship builds :D

[@weisserth]

@@TheAustrianTuber I think this video is a good bookmark to slap CMDRs with when they complain :)

[@FlecheDeFer]

I would say "it depends". If you go on to do high level PVP you will (sadly) mostly encounter Metadelance, so it is necessary to design your ship to counter one basic build, the Metadelance... For organic, yes, you are totally right.

Ah! We found the culprit to who breached the Lavigny’s Legion Weapon Research and Development Database! This was classified information that we had kept secret for longest time! This weapon was intended to use against Federation ships hauling their military supplies to their control systems, and now it’s weaknesses as been exposed! Haha! Good job on this video, Flechettes always been my favorite weapon of all. I can only imagine the shock factor when enemy shields and ship suddenly shuts off. The revelation came when FDev detailed the new power plant mechanics when they removed instant explosion when power plant hits 0% and revealed that malfunction/ degraded output begins at 80% integrity. Then the flechettes were truly born. Besides sniping power plants, I also found thrusters were more exposed to absorb flechettes, maybe larger hit box and there’s usually 2 or more thruster hit box that shares integrity. (Alliance ships) when thrusters are destroyed, cmdrs has no choice other than to reboot or repair. Dropping their shields in the process. Then finish them off when they do. Overall good job, glad this weapon go this kind of attention. Fly safe! o7

well,....just fyi, it wasnt just "bootleg liquor",...it was a 1347 year aged lavian brandy,.. :D although he drank it like a 10 cr "off the shelf" bottle of jack daniels xD

I basically never encounter other players since I'm in Horizons on PC and I don't usually run combat builds (so if you ran into me I'd probably die instantly), but my limited experience in AX Combat leads me to always include at least 2 MRPs in all of my combat builds whenever possible, in addition to always running an armored powerplant

[@TheAustrianTuber]

these r two very good decisions mate o7

[@krulek]

I have a Vette with armored power plant and two MRP's, while still having 15k mj shield with SCB's. Have still not been up against a Flechettes build, but is prove that big ships have enough space to make them viable in most situations. Know the game, know how to win.

[@TheAustrianTuber]

thats exactly what i was saying ^^ some may say that that you cant use mrp´s in a pvp scenario because they dont give someone any advantage and if someone want to build a viable pvp ship they need to go shieldtank. but like you said, someone still can go shieldtank without the necessity to give up on module strenght. thats the difference between cmdrs who now the game and cmdrs who r just watching youtube videos about how to build a shieldtank xD xD

[@FlecheDeFer]

Point defence make them basically pointless, reason why they work better in PVP than in PVE (because most players don't use point defence, while NPCs do).

[@TheAustrianTuber]

it depends,...you can outsmart point defence very good by shooting at your target only when you near at it. this way the point defence is just to slow to react,...so, if you have an oponent with point defence you have to go close quarters AND you need more than one or two flechette launcher.

[@FlecheDeFer]

@@TheAustrianTuber Totally agree, but if your opponent is good, he will never let you come close enough, unless he has the slower ship. It can work fine in PVP, as you demonstrate, but it is not an all-weather weapon. But I largely prefer that than the Metadelance!

[@ReddFrank]

Great video! I fly mostly smalls and point defense is by far my greatest enemy, since you basically have to use mines, flechettes, or torps to stand a chance against most ships since shield tank is obviously meta. The only other choice is PAs with Srb rails. But quick question, any difference in the gimballed vs the fixed version of flechettes stat wise? They seem to have the same stats on Coriolis. But everyone I see using them uses fixed version.

[@TheAustrianTuber]

they do have the same stats yes,...the only differnece between them is when used im a multicrew scenario when the other cmdr uses them,...then they become kinda turretet,...

[@echoeversky]

I yearn to see a Type 10 crammed with 7 of these for the lulz.

[@TheAustrianTuber]

xD,...as soon as im back in the bubble (could take a while) i will try that out :D,...but going shieldless with a t10 will be a weird thing so maybe im going to get into shields xD

[@ndyson5760]

Bro, Point Defence? MRPS? None of those things are very common on organic fits. If this was only for organized 1v1s only that would be one thing but that is not how the vast majority of organic pvp goes. You build your ship to meet as many different situtation as possible. A point defence is a no brainer to write off since it only deals with mines torps and maybe flechettes that is a waste of a utility. And for the most part you dont expect anything to damage your modules except heat, since it is standard practice to get out of the instance before you break. Because of this, they are abolutely OP against big ships or any 1v1. Just because counters exist doesnt mean it isnt OP when those counters are so niche. If flechettes become more popular making flechette counters would be worth it but for now they just get focused out or waked on. You know what an actual balanced weapon is? A Plama accelerator. I mean there are no counters really, but at the same time to use them you need to be good with range control. And that's it. Whether a PA hits is purely based on the skill of the pilot evading, and the skill of the pilot shooting, it doesnt simply shred modules through your sheilds because you didnt think you would need an MRP.

[@TheAustrianTuber]

simply "NO" to everything you wrote,....
