I really can't be bothered going through and picking your replies to pieces anymore Crim. Not only are you disagreeing with a great UGTO pilot, but you're disagreeing with the grandfather of the EAD.
Tell you what though, if you think it's so great, you come fly the 1.483 EAD. Then you might realise why none of the the game veterans fly it anymore.
Oh, before I forget.
You seem to be forgetting the fact that the 1.483 EAD has the least reactors, so has the most energy issues - despite the ship needing the most energy. If Gideon where still around, I'd give him the make-no-sense award for ship design.
And 1.480-wise.
EAD - energy (had the most reactors).
AD - defence (had the most armour and shielding).
Siphon - attack (had more torps, more beams, more cannons).

with regards to the above discussion. Substitute the word EAd for the word KLUTH.
Welcome to our world gentlemen.

Test the EAD in beta...
took on 15 scouts, 3 waves of 5 each and while I had a signature of 450, only minimal damage and they were dieing in one or two hits without using the qst.
Then fought two ICC 245 Assault cruisers without using the QST and killed both without problem and only suffering 7% hull damage. The rear fire torps got one of the kill shots as the target ship moved around and behind trying to stay out of the forward weapons arc.
All of the battles took place one immediately after the other with no repair or rearm time.

Yeah, but the rear armour, weapon layout, and weapon damage need to be fixed. All the assault class dreadnoughts suck right now, just some more than others. All the battle type dreadnoughts do their job better, and more. They need to be returned to what they where in past version. What they are now just doesn't fit in with the game.
I just pray they all get the re-fit/design they deserve. Siphon, EAD and AD where all top of the line ships for each faction, now they're just something to laugh at.

im sorry jack..i can live with the great ugto pilot, but i cannot let u take that title of grandfather of the EAD. being that u werent here longer then anyone else to take the title.
ive been in an EAD before u were. im not claiming im the grandfather or even a great ugto pilot, but u need to have been the first in it to claim that title m8 and im sorry u havent.
also dont claim ur the best in an 1.480 EAD cause i have played against alot of pilots and they are all great.. Banshee is one that comes to mind.
luv ya brah but NOPE not grandfather.

"omg, EAD sucks, it was balanced in 1.480"
"omg no, it was overpowered!"
"wtf, no, balanced!"
"Overpowered!"
...
"But, like omg, the Assault Cruiser was so overpowered in 1.480!"
"zomg, wtf, no, it was balanced!"
"Overpowered!"
"Balanced!"
...
"omg 1.480 Kluth dessies were so overpowered!"
"but uh, they were uber fragile, so it was balanced"
"Overpowered!"
"Balanced!"
...See a pattern developing here?

Ill admit that you are a good UGTO pilot, but I will not admit to you being the Grandfather of the EAD. You may have been good in it, but you are not the grandfather of it. Just abit of your arrogance showing there.

Drakkar flew one last night, and I cound coeus as one, and he flies it everytime he goes UGTO. I did fly the .483 last night, and did rather well, untill I goofed up on a bad jump.. landed me at an enemy dictor field. There is where I ran out of energy, but before that, I had gotten off four shots of the QST, all the while moving and firing the other weapons, without bottoming out on energy.

I'm not being arogant. I just know what the EAD is supposed to be, and what it is not supposed to be. And this version's EAD, is a perfect example of what it is NOT meant to be. No vet would fly that ship. You never see Me, Boba, or Starfist flying the EAD, because it's just a terrible ship to fly. It falls way, way, way short of the margin in shadow of the old EAD's, and it doesn't even come close to matching the talents of the other ships/dreadnoughts.
The EAD, is quite possibly the worst ship in the game. Although all assault dreads have energy problems, the EAD requires the most energy to use, and has the least reactors. Makes no sense in my mind, neither does putting one arc of armour on the rear of a slow moving elephant make sense.
And flying against wave after wave of AI is hardly proofing the EAD Tael. You of all people should know AI doesn't even come close to real oponents. Just re-design all the assault ships like you said you would, and then everyone can be happy.

for the note Tael, commanderhawk was flying his EAD, and he got 15 hull damage killing 2 AI torp cruisers and an EAD (and i believe he attacked them with 85 armor already)
