A little feedback from limited testing..
Purifiers
I like the ships, not sure on the weapons..
But the biggest thing that annoys me is the power of the ships shields + their speed..
They always chase after me, that's fine.
But they are so fast if I'm in a ship big enough to dent their shields they can fly circles around me. (which they don't, they just run away when their weapons are completely ineffective vs my shields)
-I think they need better weapons..
-Less powerful shields, either up the flux per hit, or lower the flux capacity on the ships.. maybe also make them have a very small gap in the shields at the back? maybe have 300 or 310 degree coverage?
-Less speed.. being fast is great, you can have them be faster than the other similar sized ships, but combined with their near useless HE weapons and insane shields they are just annoying..
They always want the engage me, then one ship tries to shoot my shield notices its completely ineffective and then they all retreat.. It's just a big time sink atm and a pretty annoying one.
So far the only ship I've been able to actually dent their shields with is a cruiser, and none of those are fast enough to catch them..
