Anyways... I am not heartbroken if the BO Stacking is gone (and I do fly Escorts, with DBB and BO Stacked (+ Doffs). Just changes the game a bit... and will (IMO) improve PvP (see the myriad of threads regarding PvP and new players to it getting vaped, and leaving PvP as a result).
It really is sad with the state of how players and the game has turned into. PVE player complains, PVE gets.
To be honest, the only people I saw complaining about the Double Tap (and BO expecially after the Doffs) were other PvP'ers. I may be wrong, but probably not by far... What would a PvE'er care about double tapped BO? Only helps them.
I can still kill players in Kerrat without a second BO, what does that show? epic fail builds or single BO need nerfing?
Some players will refuse to accept that, so they will complain that your single BO needs nerfing. Cryptic will be fine with that, because their intended playerbase and the design goals for the game are for folks with little to no skill or ability to buy something that will let them be Benjamin Luc Kirk and chestbump themselves in the bathroom mirror.
Hrmm, today has not been my most gracious day as far as posting goes, eh?

New players will still get vaped what ever is used, CRF3 4dhcs or Torp builds in a T'varo. The problem is the learning curve players have and they just chucked in the deep end with no decent tutorials before entering PVP.
So I can kill you with 4dhcs in 5 secs, does that get nerfed too?

I can't be certain, but he may have been referring to PvE folks hitting up Ker'rat to farm or those PvE folks looking to grab the Dil/Marks from the PvP dailies.

Because said PVer goes to pUG pvp and gets vaped.
Also why would you bring a pure double tapper into the STF? you asking to be trolled. You could hardly take much fire in a T'varo let alone hold a raptor or Neghr warship in ISE

+1, the same applies the other way from 1% to 100% in 5 secs
You know...honestly, I have less of an issue with the 100->0 because so much of that can come down to the build that a person flies into PvP (the same attack on three different players: one doesn't even notice it, one has to do something, and one is waiting to respawn)...
...but I despise the magic wand healing - hate it massively when it comes to hull heals. Meh...we're not flying organic ships, they shouldn't heal like organic beings.

Well star trek ships do in some ways have organic matter, the Gel packs they use in their electric systems for examples, but of course that wouldn't explain the yo yo healing/damage unless you were the undine lol

If you see something coming to a Rep, Lobi Store, Zen Store, Fleet, etc, etc, etc...where it involves some financial investment from a player (directly or indirectly) - then consider the core item it buffs to be the next item to be nerfed.
I always wondered what this nerf meant for other future builds/tactics. Seriously, what's to stop two tacs practicing how to beam overload a target at the same time on teamspeak; instant pop? Will the dev nerf alpha strike altogether then?
Edit: They've already nerfed GDF, soon beam overload and what have yous... What's next? All the attack patterns?
the point is it takes 2 people again, not a lone double barreled gunman.
So long as I can fire Grav Pulse -> Phaser Lance -> CRF + HYT, you guys can skrew all you want.
I surmise that the quickest way to fix (and break) the game is to reduce all weapons to BA damage (unless its a turret), change all weapon drain profiles to that of a DHC, then add special effects to said type of weapon. Then when players can't do anything for weeks, nerf heals. And after that, nerf resists. And after, make sure all the slots on a ship reflect the career it was designed for: ie escorts only have tac slots, cruisers only have eng, sci only have sci. Turn battlecruisers into cruisers, carriers into science vessels, and bops into escorts. And after that, restrict things such that your career only allows you to fly one kind of ship, unless its a lockbox ship. And after that, remove the damn skill assignment tree because giving player choice is the avenue to creating OPness.
Removal of all player choice is the only real way to balance an MMO, as proven by pandas. And keep doing that every few weeks until it takes 5 players 20mins to focus down a cruiser that cannot possibly heal itself to full. SciVes in 10mins. Escorts can die in 5s but as a token of appreciation can respawn immediately.
...
I certainly can't see that ever happening though, but knowing you guys thats the only way to fix the game... by making it unplayable for half a year for everyone. So that everyone would suffer like the pvpers do.

Oh, we can still kill with just 1 person without the double tap in less than 2 secs. The point is, everytime we do this, will cryptic just nerf bat everything because we bruised someone else's ego to the point where you'll only have elite handbags available in a T5 starbase near you?
We don't just come up with these builds over night. It takes weeks and months to perfect internally within our fleet spending time money and effort.
So, if the reward for this is Cryptic TRIBBLE over the guys that invest, something is seriously wrong.

I am glad you have found your mojo back readying for the BO nerf
- Gohan (House of Beautiful /Sad Pandas)
good luck with that. it shares cooldowns with BO
I asked, but I don't remember seeing an answer - anybody see if the following question was answered anywhere...
Will the 5s gap from BO affect the use of the Singularity Ability Energy Weapons - Singularity Overcharge?
Have you done the Ar'kif with...
Hyperflux
Refracting Cascade
BO
Iso Charge
TS
Focused Singularity

as long as its harder to do it then having 2 BOs running and having 2 DBB on auto fire
