    Just adding this to help further with gathering and preparation, also some tips that will help people avoid mistakes I made along the way:

     

    TIP 1: Be Careful what you do with your Basic Tool Repair Books you can get 2 in the course of the missions but you will have to camp 3 more and since they are Unique you can't just camp them until you have all of them. Also they are not tradeable so you need to loot them on your Prospector.

     

    TIP 2: Max your Build Devices before you start ripping books, to prevent loss of components!

     

    TIP 3: DO NOT keep all of these items in your inventory while you build the steps, it gets very confusing with the huge list of crap, coupled with a little lag you could lose things accidentally. Give them to your builder or keep them in your vault and only pull out the pieces you need for each build.

     

    TIP 4: Get all of the items you can in advance, it will save you HOURS of travel time.

     

    TIP 5: Talk to Lyle between EACH build to avoid missing a step of a mission that may reward you or advance the mission.

     

    REWARD Tip: Get the Chili Popper, the White Lightning does NOT stack over the normal stuff you have on a JE/TS/PS already for speed. The Chili Popper Debuffs DO stack on other debuffs, so you become a very useful raid component. The Loony's Hunk O'Metal on the other hand does stack and provides an additional 210 warp, you will get this item about 1/2 way through as well as another item that may prove useful later on.

    Optional: If you don't have a builder that can rip components for you, you could prospect all of these items, but I'd recommend having a builder to help you.

     

    Optional: The first book you get, Analyze it all the way down on your JE/PS/TS. Second book (from Junior Malik in Homestead) Rip the Lil' Bang Stick to get the Gnawed Bone. Though in theory you can find these bones in hulks, I hunted for hours and it was faster to just camp the mob for another book.

    Sounds cool.

     

    So I like the JW because they look pretty cool and I played a JE so its close but from skimming the forum it seems they aren't too good.

    When I came back to EnB last year, I started a JE... I have always loved the class... It is about focus of what you want to do...

     

    JE:

    Solo/Group Prospect It reigns supreme...

    Mobility, fast speeds, Wormhole relative ease to get into pirate sectors.

    Well developed class, popular... Even if you play JD as your main, build a JE too it is worth the time.

     

    JD:

    Stealth-Strike, assassin like play style... Sneak up behind your target and melt it with Plasma.

    Great solo play, good in groups (especially Jenquai only groups)..

    Lots of fun when you bounce around solo a lot...

     

    JS:

    Nearly 50/50 between JE and JD for combat, good for trade and exploration.

    Worth exploring if you like building and beam combat.

     

    PW:

    Tank... With a little skill they are effective at solo play, but more at home in a group.

    Ammo is a draw back at higher levels, these guys burn lots of ammo.

    Fun in raids and group settings.

     

    PS/PP Are combat variants of Explorer and trader classes. PS has "Call Forward" and I found them very fun to play.

     

    TT: 

    Builder/Healer

    Good for building stuff, obviously, but are high demand in groups as healers..

     

    TE:

    Long range combat, so-so in solo play, and so-so in group combat.

    Hacking/Bio Repression skills very useful in raids and group combat at higher levels.

     

    TS:

    If you feel the need for speed.... This is the hot-rod you are looking for.

    A change to shield sap does not dramatically alter their damage output though.

    Where as what Jenquai have experienced recently is a huge loss in firepower. The point of combat cloak is to do high burst (alpha) damage. We all know that the PW is more efficient over time, but now you have taken away the jenquais ability to output high alpha.. what is the point in their combat tactic, now jenquai have no tricks up their sleeves, just low power weapons and little to no defence.

    From my tests it isn't THAT bad... It was a slight reduction, but it is still incredibly high if everything works the way it should...

    Recent events indicate to me that we've come up against a case of "Balance Fever".  The Devs have seen fit to re-calculate damage and buff effects in a series of updates in recent months that all indicate to me that there is a desire to "Balance" the content...

     

    Perhaps it is good I've already developed all of my toons and I am now in "Limbo" waiting for content because these balance changes are not going to slow me down..

     

     

    But I can say from my experience in games I've played in the past... there are three reasons I have left games and never come back...

     

    1. Dead player base...
    2. Balanced into oblivion... Causing #1

    3. PvP Swarming... Causing #1

    4. Time and energy available to play

    5. Cost v.s. gain

    6. Lack of content... Causing #1

     

    My recommendation to the Dev team...

     

    Making sweeping, seemingly random, changes to decrease player avatar performance is like cancer... you tweak one to fix it, then you have to tweak another and another until all of the classes are running around with nerf bats and unable to solo at all..  

     

    The ideal that it will drive players to group up and play is a fantasy that will only result in more and more multiboxing and lower player base....

     

    I play solo 99% of the time... I can't login 6 toons and fly a self-supporting group, so you will very quickly cause my ability to play to evaporate...

     

    You should be looking for ways to make all classes viable in solo conditions, not the other way around...

    If you say that a CL55 is "Group" content, and CL58 should be next to impossible to kill for a Solo JD (Gene Hunters in Paramis) then you are essentially saying that my JE... The lowest damage output player class.... Should not be able to kill them at all...

     

    Even with the recent change they aren't hard... CL 55 Ten-Gu, which I also tested, along with Desash in Cooper with both my JE and JD last night ... You need to remove Cloaking entirely from the Jenquai skill set... The only difference damage decreases will create is more shots to the kill... My JE can kill Modi's Heart, solo... CL 66... I have killed Pax in Tarsis, solo, with my JE as well... It takes forever, but I can do it..

     

     

    Cloak is the factor that shifts this balance, not damage....

    Posted

    Point of discussion for the next meeting:

     

    Before there are any more down-tweaks to class performance areas, many see them as "Nerfs", we should emphasize to the Devs that content output would offset the negative backlash of such things significantly....

     

    If the only thing the players seem to be getting is downgraded performance and nothing else, it will significantly reduce player morale, effecting population etc, etc etc...

    Since TS can use the Minor AND the Sculptor devices, AND both are superior to the Badger's Claw in various ways.... WHY?

     

    And at L8 everyone gets a Golden Tooth and it is all happy and good after that... so... why even bother with Badger's Claw since every TT has all of the Sculptors printed... !?

    I'm not standing up for anyone.. I am just calling you out as a "public Servant" because if you were really a crusader for the public good, you would make yourself known so people can interact with you directly, not via a pseudonym. It is impossible to trust your posts as genuine because of this, how do we know you aren't a member of one of the offending guilds?  Your criticism is tainted and not objective at all, based on what I have read of your posts I can deduce that you are, in fact, a member of one of the big three guilds.. So how can you be a member of an offending organization, perhaps even a high ranking member based on some of the comments you have made. 

     

    I can speculate as to your identity... but I shouldn't have to... be honest with us and we'll treat your posts accordingly... With all of the deception your views are tainted by suspicion and are not taken for any value...

    I don't care what happened in the raid or the roll.. I've written that off as a loss already...

     

    As for calling me a coward?  I decided i had more valuable things to direct my energy toward than to baby sit a bunch of bickering children and their toys.  In a few weeks I will be starting my new job and I won't have time to even look at these forums much, if at all...

     

    If that makes me a coward, so be it... I would say it makes me a human being with priorities above and beyond this game. 

     

    Hiding behind a pseudonym, just so you can make inflammatory posts without fearing reprisals from your peers in game and out is cowardice by definition.. It is also, incidentally the definition of trolling...

    The only thing I have found that consistently helps with pop-rock damage is distance.  Prospect them from 2.49 and you will take 1/2 as much damage as you would if are less than 1.0 away.  Max (L8) shields on a JE is required to survive these, anything lower and it will get into your hull at least...

     

    This is one area where the PS has a significant advantage over TS/JE, with L9 shields an L9 pop rock is nothing.

    When I am in a group with my PW and energy leech is used I have not noticed any delays in fire rate...

     

    Is it possible this "Delay" is just because of the animation/skill activation sequence on your client is causing the client to show you incorrect information?  If the client is overwhelmed it could seem like there are delays as your video/client catch up due to the animations playing out on the screen.

    See your making the mistake in distinction between trolling and truth. Because you don't like the truth and why would you?

     

    Daath - BI

    allura-static

    preekorb-static/vge? (pretty sure he belongs to one of the big 3)

     

    But I am done with this thread . I tried to help you continue stuck in your ways and your average online will continue to dwindle :/

     

    what was it read from pakratt

     

    38-200 online it has incredibly dropped more then even I suspected.

    I am not in BI.. I have not been in any guild for months... so check your facts...

    Funny reading quite a few threads and posts , It seems nothing is changing and a lot of people are coming to same conclusion I did regarding certain aspects.

     

    The only one naturally still in disagreement and again from reading these posts that seem to fine with the way things are, Are the big 3 and trying to make any progress towards any sort of solution seems to be quite conveniently getting slowed down by continuous argument between the offending guilds.

     

    The problem would be solved if they were quite rightly so told they do not control the raids and they cannot sit there continuously camping timed bosses and raid triggers so no one else can get near unless they allow them to do so . They have no say who does what when etc etc.

    Honestly its up to you guys I have no immediate desire to come back after what I saw going on in the emu , However I once cared for this game and its disappointing.

     

    From what I have red from the forums your numbers are dwindling this I can almost guarantee you is not helping the problem at all there is very little end game content as it is handing full control of it to 3 guilds is not the best idea, No one else can touch this content unless the big 3 decide they can do so or take a day off. If they want to do it (which is most of the time) you ain't getting near it.

     

    Its a recipe for absolute disaster and not helpful , Most games survive off the end game , This games end game player base as it stands join the big 3 or leave , Which is why I suspect people are leaving people don't want to feel like they are being forced into something because the big 3 are being greedy , I mean read posts from there representatives the way they speak they don't even try to hide that they own the content.

    please go find someplace else to troll... we have enough trolls with the active players... you've moved on.. so move on... please don't look back.. we don't want you to... just keep going, nothing to see here...
