Phase slow time effect
« on: April 04, 2021, 04:40:57 AM »

Is there a way to disable it, maybe a mod or something?

Why? With elite phase spec C4R, you have 200% speed while under 3x time, which subjectively equivalent to 0.66 time. Not that low and considering that C4R only boosts max speed, but not acceleration, you need that time multiplier for phase ship to remain controllable.

Plus, phase ships are all about precise play: to bypass shield(frigates), disable shield at key moment(Harbinger) or lay traps (Doom). For all of these time dilation is crucial.

I dont evenw ant to imagine an afflicter as full unaltered speed. Good luck controlling that

It slows the whole fight and extends it greatly, could be good if the effect been weaker on bigger ships, for example, as is for frigate, x0.75 for destroyer, x0.5 for doom, and x0.25 for capital.

Just use SpeedUp mod for long boring parts, like approach on combat start. Though even that mostly became non-issue for Afflictor with current phase spec.
