First of all a big thanks goes out to BW for finding a very nice solution to integrating my new systems into GC this is the neutral updates i was talking about so long ago, E class was just a small part of this update. I`ve taken and made it so each neutral ship has an upkeep more in line with it`s racial ships, this will make balancing Econs for all races alot easier when we get to it this should also open up more fleet options for all races.

So first we have the 4 new E class ships This is the old E class thread for those of you who don`t know their stats.

Moving on Light corvette and Frigate have been removed from the game, LFD will be granted free upon restart no research needed and will remain unchanged for all races.

As you`ll notice the biggest change is Strafez, it has gotten a good deal more expensive for all, this will make UWing harder and more costly, it will also make it harder and more costly for those who like to fodder up to higher prs to research or dig and generally just avoid all the fun which i think we can all agree will bring more balance to the game runner has a cheaper upkeep to pr overall than fodder, but it`s also alot easier to kill.



Along with the above some research has been changed. the Light class researched has been swapped out for research concerning E class, Both fodder researches have been removed but fodder will be granted from creature research. we`ve also lowered the turn requirements on cluster research, some marauder ships and miner ships including G class lowered from 1,500 to 500 and Hun Li research has been lowered from 25,000 to 5,000 and Hun Xe research has been lowered from 25,000 to 2,500 turns further more BW came up with a way to augment turn requirements by servers. so then turn requirements for the research tree on ultra have been reduced by 15% fast 20% normal 30% and Slow 40%. Not none of these changes effect Infrastructure research


The Second Part of this is Fixing not only Viral upkeeps for captured and RE ships but we threw in collective as well so collectves don`t have destroy any ships they happen to capture for fear of crippling debt. also viral build cost is fixed

If you want more fighting, why raise the upkeep for miners? You`re just encouraging longer dp time camps, and discouraging high PR fights...miners all ready have a tough enough time with all thing non-market!

Interesting - and great that you still work on updating the game. :)

I was wondering id the e.class can be captured?

This is awesome and a very promising update for collective and viral. I seriously hope that this will help bring a little more balance back into the ranks in terms of races. Not to mention YAY new ships! The new E. class is going to be awesome as a Miner. IMO the most frustrating thing about miner ships is their absolute mediocrity. Even if you know exactly what your opponent has for a fleet, there are very few miner ships you can use to really capitalize on that. (no chem except straf, best kinetic damage option is Arag or Livid with ~.45 dmg/hull, best energy option is Epidote with .55 dmg/hull and even missile cruiser is only .8 dmg/hull with just 9 range) The new E. Pulsar will be a scalpel in a drawer full of butter knives, and because of that I love this. On the other hand, although I`m aware that A. Miners have been the go-to UW race for some time because of their ability to build fodder walls, the new upkeeps combined with the credit cap makes the prospect of climbing in PR make me think of trying to limbo up a flight of stairs.

TLDR; This update is awesome. E. Pulsar! Racial diversity/Viral Collective buffs! Metaphors! EnderWiggin is a grumpy A. Miner.

Hmmm, noy sure if it has to do with this nice update but i was reseaching K Class and now i,m at -8k turns or so. And unable to continue any further, all i get is " already researched " which then puts me back to the resesrch screen with -8k turns
