At some point, we have to ask ourselves: is GC supposed to be an economy game or a skill based combat game?

Because right now, it`s very much an economy game, and with ships like lyth, it makes things even worse.

As long as you build up an economy properly, or choose an economy heavy race (aminer) then you can spam to your hearts delight and win without having to think.

Should we nerf lyth, or accept that economy > skill in fighting?

Freelancer, thanks for commenting and saying something that is at the heart of my argument

Lyth is powerful right now BUT, it is expensive.

But, the very rich players will be able to spam the lyth regardless of upkeep, because they are just so rich. So my original argument is that: GC is more of an economy game, rather than a skill game, because someone can work hard to get a great income, then spam lyth and not have to worry about the costs or losing

My question to everyone is: SHOULD this be the case? Should economy > fighting skill?

OR

Should it be the other way around: fighting skill is more important than how much money you make?

Im still lost on the reason why MajorDinero wants to nerf the Lyth. ( Plus this has already been done before, redone again & wow we are back where we started with the same old high upkeep Lyth. ) Please give a valid reason why Lyth should be nerfed not cause your running into a personal problem with it that is unique to you.

Also what other ship takes 6 hours to build & cost you over 500 billion cash ? and gives you less than 200 million power.

Omegian:

Before I jump to conclusions about things, I usually like to get the facts first.

I am presenting my opinion on this matter, if other GCers agree perhaps I will suggest changes, but of course balancing the game IS a staff responsibility. But the key here is to see if other GCers agree with my ana.lysis of the situation

Incidentally, I resent the tone of your message. I am not whining. I am among the people that enjoy lyth spamming. I am trying to balance this game, my personal interests are not at stake here. In fact, I am posting this precisely because I have been spamming lyth lately and it just seems way too OP. But I might be wrong.

Perhaps you can add in your opinion instead of simply taking this as an opportunity to berate someone hm?

I would like a well thought suggestion as to why, what mods, upkeep numbers otherwise you are just whining a point. Put some factual stuff like this mod should be this, etc ... saying reduce BR and upkeep a little means nothing to a person who is going to do the actual research on changing the ship.

lol, thats cute fist :P

just reduce the buildrate, and the upkeep a little. OR if we thinkingg that GC should be an economy game, increase double or triple the upkeep.
