CIG chose to categorize ship weapons under a term called “Size” but to my knowledge, they never defined how the progression of Size categories is measured.
- FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXAMPLE ONLY, a simple progression yardstick might read "for every step up in weapon size, the DPS is doubled." Thus two Size 1 weapons would put out roughly the same damage as a single Size 2. Four Size 1s, or two Size 2s, would equal a single Size 3, and so forth. BEFORE ANYBODY FREAKS OUT: That example is NOT suggested as a workable ratio, but as a simple example of the concept.
Whatever the formula, I submit that some predictable yardstick is vital to customer satisfaction. When CIG rolls out the Ares with a Size 7 gun, we likely all had somewhat different ideas of what that meant, but we probably all agreed it was one heck of a BFG.
The moment the Ares entered the battlefield, we smacked face-first into the very predictable "out of balance" hurdle. Drama ensued.
If the output of a weapon was defined by a predictable unit of measure, then balancing would have to come through other forms, such as vehicle speed. I suggest this based on a real-world comparison:
- An F-16 is a classic light fighter. It packs a single 20mm gatling gun and can hit a speed of roughly 1,300mph.
- An A-10 is a BFG with wings. It packs a single 30mm gatling gun and get up to say 450mph.
So on a simple comparison, for a 400% increase in per shot damage due to the bigger weapon size* and the added weight of some extra armor, the A-10 suffers a 66% reduction in speed compared to the F-16.
In terms of “competitive PVP balance” the F-16 can out race the A-10 at will, but the A-10 can out-corner. The big gun has a range advantage against the smaller one, but accuracy degrades over distance. Still, if by some utter miracle a comparatively slow A-10 actually got an F-16 on target, the 30mm tank-killing shells would presumably obliterate the target. To my knowledge, in all of real history the A-10 has NEVER shot down an enemy fighter, although A-10 pilots have documented kills against enemy helicopters, as noted in a fun article here:
https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/believe-it-or-not-the-a-10-can-hold-its-own-in-a-dogfight/
I think it is fairly obvious that CIG based the Ares Inferno on an A-10, and it should look to reality to approach the need for game balance. A huge reduction in the Ares' top speed would not hamper its ability to engage capital ships. The speed disadvantage would give small fighte
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I guess the concept didn't work
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

A play on words.
I got fed up with no timeline so created one at the weekend - it sort of snowballed and I went down the rabbit-hole. Not sure how this will come out. I don't have links to sources, but I can assure you all that the dates and comments are as correct as can be. If there are any corrections or additions required then please post in the comments and I'll try to amend. Hopefully this will go in the FAQs.
P.S. I'm British so use the dd/mm/yy format, but I've written it 'long-hand' so as not to cause any confusion and I think it's easier to follow anyway.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
