Easy possible fixes if you can get ahold of that code then...
-Allowing no retal on more ships
-Lessen number of stacks in combat
-Adjusting over-inflated defense mods/ putting decent firepower on ships
-Remove careful attack option
well best case scenario, if we get coding for GC, we get a new server, so we can make GC Mark II, on which, the way exploration works, base pr works, the battle system and probably alot of other things will be changed
People would just be more apt to spam Destroyers and cruisers, the majority of the blame isn`t on build rates that make people spam, it`s the battle system itself that makes spamming such a viable option.
the reason people use capitals now is because they have a high build rate, yet they are easier to kill with stacks or with smaller ships, if you increase the build rate of the smaller ships people will just spam those instead making it that much more difficult to deal with spams.
when the battle system is changed to make it so that flanking stacks deal more damage than normal based on their stack position then spamming will become obsolete.
Increasing smaller ships build rates to even be somewhat similar to jugs and dreads would decrease spams even more so.. But that will never be considered either.
How bout a compromise!! Drop to 2x for rt and 1.5 for tb. :)
And @Outside. More cap spams with normal buildrates. These increased BR allow for stacking more. Ive seeniincreased amounts of stacks since boost. Dont get me wrong, there are some guys that just build 1-5 stacks and nothing else, But they going to do that no matter what. And there are alot of those guys.
