It's The Clawwwwwww!
Spud Nick:
Do you think the phoenix claw is too good at what it does? Do you think it needs a nerf? More damage to engines or decreased turning speed. Discuss the claw below.
Argus Finkle-McGraw:
Probably, it's chosen by nearly every pilot in nearly every match. It seems to reduce one of the major weaknesses certain ships have as well.
It's so satisfying to use though, can we just buff all the other tools instead?

I'd like to see its behaviour to be altered to be more intense but less forgiving - similar too moonshine. Even less angular drag but intense damage for the engines (~30-40dps). Currently I tend to overuse it quite a bit and occasionally observe myself to activate it in situations where it's not really needed.

Queso:
I think the major issue is that it's nearly penalty free. Unlike kerosene which you have activated for a long time you only ever need claw for a few seconds.
RearAdmiralZill:
I don't think lowering the effectiveness alone will help at all. As Queso says, right now there is no measurable penalty to using it in large amounts, even when you don't need to.
The easy thought is just more damage to engines to use it. We all agree that current phoenix claw works. The issue is that you can simply leave it on. I don't really think some big new mechanic change is required. Just up the damage done to engines so that it's usable, but not nigh indefinitely.
