Or as SamHayne calls it: "Overactive imagination of graphic artist making web art."

OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! This is gunna suck so bad. There are gunna be two types of people for a long time, those with BFRs and those on timers.

Looking on the bright side tho, I think they are doing the "everyone and their brother gets a BFR" to judge for a final balance adjustment, hopefully.

Don't know how many actually took part in all the playtests, but the VS always seemed to win. I don't know if it was just strenght in numbers, but by the end, the VS ended up out numbering the other empires combined. Just keeping my hopes up for everything turning out the best.

More likely it's to give those who have just bought Aftershock/Core Combat for the BFRs a chance to try em out.

And I don't remember the VS ever outnumbering the TR in BFR playtests

Reason for VS winning with BFRs? Simply put, they got BETTER SHIELDS! yes I tested.

Full clip damage of Dual AT Defense cannon (TR BFR gun) against TR Colosus:
no shields, 96% health left

Full clip damage of Dual AT Defense cannon (TR BFR gun) against VS Aphelion:

5% shields left and hull is undamaged!

So VS have AGILITY and PROTECTION?

(sorry, I did not test with NC as my TR BFR was allways occupied with VS)
