rumors are abound that its getting a stealth nerf today...
honestly why? its not that hard too get the favors together to get it#
so why are peeps gripping..:eek:
also if they increased it from 1 30 second run to maybe 3-4 laps, easier for people to mess up so other can possible catch up..
defo need a redo.

IMO, it would be because there shouldn't be only 1 supreme board, all 1500 favor boards should be equal and, only desirable for their appearances.

Yeah, it really isn't. Building castles (even outside the event) and the Horga'hn hunt give loads of favors. Srsly even with the cheapest flaoter it's possible run it with 3 toons. That's 3x 75 for completion and all the favors and eggs you get from collecting.....
Cause people want everything, now and for free. Or else they'll start crying again.:cool:
Edit:
Since the the higher speed is a dev confirmed issue why isn't it in the patch notes if it gets changed. Srsly that's the real problem here...
because if it was added it would be like confirming that it was an accidental exploit that got added and if you had an embarassing little secret get out, you sure as hell want it buried quietly where no one would find out rather than shaming yourself further. but at least now the board is not a lot more different from the standard superiors, so least i dont have to save up another 500 for smaller board.

how many we would have seen..?
The other option is that that change somehow didn't make it into this patch. If that's so, the people who have Targ boards likely get another week of a board with stats that don't match the text description, but do match the numbers in the description. That board going live the way that it did was just a mess, somebody not double-checking which stat was supposed to be improved when the text description and the blog clearly stated which one it should have been.
I have 3 toons on risa 2 do the board runs.. 1 has the targ (kdf toon) the other the spock board (ferengi)..
I can win as many races on the spock board as the targ..
the race is fundamentally flawed.. now here is an idea.
1 NAS car... round and a round so 3-4 laps
2 F1... fast cars but stop/start so a slarm course.
a 1-5 award 1st=200 favors reduced 20% per rank.
this is dependent on cryptic getting the lag sorted..

It's not an exploit if you don't know that that number was wrong. Even if you do know that it's wrong, this would rank very low on the continuum of exploits, possibly above using restricted costume options that you already have access to on a costume slot that shouldn't allow them to be used, but below something that allows you make infinite EC or dilithium with little to no time or effort involved.
Funny that nobody said this about the higher turn rate that isn't present, but is described in the blog and the text description.
don't wishy wash this..! they released the spock board which should have had a 66/64 speed.
with the lag issues peeps are gripping.
look at it this way.
they have obsoleted the old boards, as there is no skill required.. unless its a 3-4 lap race.
why not just upgrade the 'Spock board' too 65..
I don't win all game on my targ, its the same ratio with the spock board..
its the finishing that pees everyone off.
If it doesn't matter, why do you seem so bothered about the fact that they are choosing to fix the Targ's unintentional speed increase instead?
I sure as hell do say it matters, I see Targ's shooting away from my superior board in every race, which is very annoying when you know that the board wasn't supposed to have that extra bit of speed.
That said, I do say that even as it is now a Targ board doesn't guarantee wins, more often then not I and my lovely superior board do win even from Targs who apparently can't handle their mini board.

its because you don't do the 2 second count.. with this board I steam forward.. thing is I need to hit certain points to hit the boosts.
with the targ
I handy cap myself and leave last.
2 seconds after everyone has banged the boards, I end up flying pass them.
but I still mess up on the dogleg.
Because nobody cared as it isn't needed at all.:D
The track consists mostly of long straight shots which are pretty hard to actually TRIBBLE up. Then add the fact that faster boards gain a higher speedboost from stuff, since the boost is percentage based (very birght idea :rolleyes:) and you'll see why people only cared about it's speed.
Not for me :P

Hehe *grunts*
I absolutely agree. I was puzzled why this board was faster than others in the first place. And why it actually handles worse then the rental board as welll. Equal speed, less inertia but better turn would be something appropriate. But considering that there's only one mini-board available at all my guess is that Risa updates were more of an afterthought this year.

Also , this .
(yeah , I went there !)
... no Targs were nerfed during the making of this post ...
the problem with that logic is that if they decide to increase the speed of these boards, then it wont stop there, eventually it would get out of control. set it at something sensible that players can get without it being too much of a bore or a bother and then let them have fun with it. the metrics are great for that time spent and the players get to take their time with it.

It's the same class as the faction boards - superior. There shouldn't be a difference in speed. If it's "newer" or not is irrelevant (arguing "lore" in fun-activities for the summer event which takes place the third or fourth time in the same year again is a bit wonky anways

I don't buy Apple products for the exact same reason.
And it's already established this is a bug.
Except there isn't a Fed or Rom or neutral equivalent. Races will get pretty boring with everyone using the exact same model. I mean can you imagine a NASCAR race (And I have to because I don't actually watch NASCAR if I can help it, but my retired dad does :rolleyes:) with 50 identical cars? Sure we don't have to worry about getting the drivers confused as such a thing is irrelivant for powerboard racing but it is still very boring. Plus why should two boards with an equal price have an unequal speed. That is like trying to sell a BMW and a Toyota for the same price and thinking anyone would buy the Toyota.
EDIT: Wow, ninja'd by four people... that has to be a record. :P I guess that answers the question of what the majority think of krilldarn's idea though. As well as the question do I type too slow.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
^^ as has been mentioned, is just a bug and is rightly getting fixed. I can see why the whining though, players who bought it to race faster and win races will find their advantage removed after maintenance according to CrypticRock's post. About the exploit part... in gamespeak; being it's a bug, then players who have been using said bug to win races by using miniboards (which I have seen many racers bragging about) have been using an exploit; albeit though a mild one. Funny though, I haven't seen anyone say yet the miniboard was OP, please nerf. ok there, said it. :P
And what is this - "the H.O.G's Inertia (ability to start/stop) is lower than a Superior Powerboard"???
LOWER ability to START... Srsly??? :mad:
I DEMAND a refund!!!
Make available to trade this useless board to any other Superior Powerboard!!!!
