Having been through SoE's "New Game Experience"; when a game starts talking about a full on "rebalance", my finger starts hovering over the proverbial "eject" button. I do not look forward to having to "rebalance" my ship builds, or change my style of play.
Getting to "good" DPS requires time, patience, reading, and either money or yet again.. more time.
I enjoy the game as is, but I'm very leery of any game play "rebalances" - especially ones that are proceeded with "your fun is not wrong". The notion that a rebalance is necessary indirectly contradicts the other.
I'm not jumping off yet, I'm waiting to see how much of an impact this is, if the games still fun - I keep playing, if it becomes frustrating, it's time to move on. Frankly, I'm more resistant to hitting the "eject" button and finding another game because of the money spent on getting where I wanted to be in this game. The game is a business, it exists to make money, if "rebalance" effects retention of those that spend money on the game regularly, it doesn't matter how many free accounts play that spend little to nothing the business model fails.
So I moved to console from PC specifically to create a perfected version of the build I ran on PC. I missed some events on PC that I needed the ships from to get the consoles and traits to really push my build to the highest potential. Starting over from nothing I spent the last 6-7 months grinding for thousands of hours and paying hundreds of dollars to get the ships and equipment I needed. Even founded one of the top ten most successful fleets on console. Finally in the last couple weeks I finished my build. I was really happy that all that investment had finally paid off. Now I am being told that literally every single part of my ship is being nerfed into the ground. Thanks for that. I feel like I just got sucker punched and had my wallet stolen. My favorite ship and main toon is no longer viable in the one and only role I play. This may be the end of my 7 years on this game.
I can make more screenshots, but they will all show the same thing. Romulan Drones, Klingon BoPs, Jem'Hadar or Spear Builder frigates, they are all much larger. The Callisto's are the only frigate class ships that are the size of the shuttles. And it bothers the hell out of me lol."
Yeah that's an error that needs to be fixed, I'll do a bug report on it next time I play.
Don't be such a fail. Your builds are still more than viable because you're in the same boat as everybody else pvp won't be too imbalanced anymore. And in pve you're already zapping things with only a couple shots. Your overall dps is only dropping by a small amount.

Yeah I kinda support this comment cause as many are saying it will be interesting to see these changes and frankly, personally I am eager to see what balance this bring to PvP..PvE is a random bloodbath as is..You create a grav well bunch up alot of foes in the center and line up for a shot and your DPS pretty much does the rest then..The most mindless one I have seen are the badland battlezones for example where the foes keep going in lines without trying to manuver you or make you spread out and out gun you on elite..Just m opinion though..

In a nutshell - please tread carefully.
This one is the Breen carrier with 4 Yellowstones and 2 Plesh Brek Frigates.
