I think this one alone would take care of it, maybe chop it down to an hour or somthing

ye. The thing that annoys me most with the release of the BFRs is indeed how many there are. Ever tried defending a tower durin a moderate+ zerg? not easy is it? WITH TEN BILLION BFRS out there. Suggestion: Take away half the nerfs, double the difficulty of aquirition.

Got 4 left
And Raising the requirements won't do crap

That just gives BFR users a sence of entitlement and justification for crap gameplay.

What you need are solid restrictions.
I'm actually almost pleased with new speed on the Gunner Varient.
35kph is slow.
Now if only they were only availible at Sanc, they might actually have a logistically hard time fielding them.

Flight Varients, are still screwing over the game.
But atleast when they get stupid they aren't near invincible.
But when they have a better chance of escaping a half platoon of armor, thats just screwed up
Infantry? Die quick, and can never get in range
Air? Dual AA fries em pretty quick.

While you can field armor as a direct strategic counter to GVs....
Flight Varients really hav no solid strategic counter.

Maybe they could change it so that the shield goes off-line in flight

There is no real solution other than to remove the Flight Varients.

These would be awesome. I was very anti-bfr when they came out because of how overpowered they were. I got them at one point to try them out for a while. But... I dropped them the next day (can you blame me?). Later on, I decided to bring my BFR back... And I did. I got Adv. BFR after about a week and had some fun. But another week after I got Adv. BFR, I decerted. After the nerf, I decided to try them out one last time. I was so sick of them, I logged, played my alt, slept, went out, did ANYTHING until I could decert. Thank god it didn't take 2 weeks to decert like it did the first time around.

But even if these changes were made, I still wouldn't recert my old BFR. Sure, I'd have the stripes to show off and I'd certainly be able to, but theres a good 7 reasons I'd never want to use a BFR EVER AGAIN...

BTW each reason is a cert point that I could spend on something else. Something useful. BFR and getting 30 kills in 50 minutes isn't a good use to my empire. Getting 60 kills every hour is. And it goes into a building too!!! =P

Second to lastly, only br20's should be able to purchase a flawless BFR. Anyone under br20 should be able to do so as well, but with those weird malfunctions (from the mayhem). Either way, you'd need the 10 cave caps first.

Lastly, as far as the ADV BFR merit goes, I think that Sony should just get rid of it. Instead, triple the re-purchase timer on flight BFRs. So, say you get a standard (gunner) BFR, it'll only take 50 minutes to get another one afterwards. But, you get a Flight BFR, you have to wait 2 hours and 30 minutes to get another BFR (of any type). That would give something for those pilots to think about.

Basically, this is what I think should be done:
-BFRs restored to when they came out without malfunctions
-No more standard BFRs (already done)
-Gunner BFRs have slower speed (already done)
-Flight BFRs have a "batterdown" time on the flight capacitor. I.E. like the shield. When it goes empty, it takes a while to start charging again.
-Gunner weapons buffed big time (already done)
-The screen shaking to everyone else around the BFR REMOVED
-Increase the cost of basic BFRs to 4 cert points
-Only BR20's can buy flawless BFRs. Anyone who's certed can buy them however. But anyone under BR20 will have "malfunctions" like in the mayhem (but less frequently).
-Increase the "batterdown" time on the shield. (when shield goes down, make it take longer to start charging again)
-No Advanced BFR Merit
-Instead of requiring a merit, Flight BFRs simply give you a longer repurchase timer. (instead of 50 minutes, an hour and 30 minutes)

This is simply how I think BFRs should've been made in the first place.

When BFRs were first released, these could be considered nerfs. But now, they're more like buffs. If I could take this to the official forums, I would. But for some reason my browsers really screwed up and it won't let me log in there.
