BTW what happend to the update

darnit people stop calling for a maru nerfing or gc will become uc killing one race to hinder another isnt the right thing just make maru un revercable and let peple reverce another terran and miner ship

yeah..if you wanna touhen up a.miners make em tougher against Virals not Guards..

p.s. im viral

not exactly, terran is ok, and the nerfing the viral race won`t make miners better and able to defend against guard spams, will it?

I haven`t said virals aren`t still powerful, I want to say that there are different ways of balancing the game. Just make other races decent :)

ill tell ya what happened to the update...it got stuck comin outa ur ass. all i ever see is virals are overpowered they get maru ships...blah blah blah...just cope with it or quit ya friggin whiners

word wingding

DM I don`t think virals are in any danger of being underpowered -.-

They still kick the living **** out of other races.

I don`t understand why they can`t just start updating stuff. It`s not as if anyone will care if the game gets screwed up. Change stuff, if it doesn`t work, change it back, or tweek it again. The only thing that will make even more people take off is if nothing gets done.

I am not saying I am right, this is only a variant. I think there are different ways to balance the game.

In general I am for nerfing the maru ships` upkeep for virals but virals were already nerfed when other races got some new pretty decent ships to use and further changes will make it pretty unfair to people who have paid some cash for their viral empires... + virals make less money than terrans and incomparable to miners. So in this situation I think virals are ok. Imo the game needs:
1) 1 or 2 no retal collective ships
2) slightly better miner ships. One ship that has energy or missile damage with nice build rade and with nice kinetic def modifier against guard spams(least +60%?). Miners have the best economy so it is normal to have some pros and cons(worse military than other races).
3) Guard needs several touches as well. I looked at deiloche`s proposed ships and think they were pretty much ok, maybe 10-15% less damage on ruby/tourm(from his list). Give guards the option to reward, maybe not to 5k, but 2.5k will be ok. That may encourage more people playing that race on slower servers.

I agree species

Also DrKsT hit the nail, i think the Admins are still working out kinks in ships etc ..

Before any other updates can be implemented

A full game update is a slow process, but i am aslo hoping for Angel/Pyth nerfing, also voting to return ( if possible to fix the bug ) ALSO Viral to be able to RE their ships, i feel that is very important too =)

wait till after easter...maybe it`ll be our easter present :P

And the new GC skin. was supposed to revert back to the old alpha or beta skin?

for some reason I think their is more to come, if the admins can balance the ships I believe they can do other things but only time will tell if more user friendly features are on the way or not
