Howdy all

I have heard alot of players complaining about mineral shortages (especially RT)

So i cam up with an idea, i have no idea about coding so this may be massively complicated

But....

Ok it takes minerals to make ships... more ships more minerals

SO

What if when you attack someone apart from winning 3 cols, you can win the minerals that they have put into the making of their ships ?

i realise this will benefit Maraduers greatly, but it would be an ideal way to

a) rectify the mineral shortage
b) Encourage players to fight if they are in need of minersl
c) generally make Rt a much more fun and lively place
d) make people alot less reliant on the market

not-smart idea ?

Could have completely different attack, mineral plunder.

Grabs ship minerals, no colonies.

Eh, sounds fun.

RenegadeSp, already attacked by a ruby/tourm-spam on carefull?
Of course you can win sometimes as a.miner, but it is a lot harder than with any other race, and even with elaborated stacking schemes you loose quite often against well dumb stacks, simply due to the ship inbalance. So weakening a.miner even further is maybe not the brightest idea, if you want to have minerals on the market.

i am a miner now and am still learning renegade but i have an understanding and agree that if u understand the ships u can win, i also like the that it may relive the pressure in the market, however it may be true nminers can defend themselves it cant be denied that they would be under attk the moment they come outta dp, it would be like a turkey shoot, i for one would not like everyone in the server singling out miners

Good Idea, And no. Miners wont get the crab kicked out of them. Only the people who always lose anyway as miner becuase they think there ships arent good and dont bother learning ot stack. When in truth, Miner ships are very good if you use them right :) I know. Ive been miner a LOT

Good idea, that weakens not only the way to strong a.miner, but also supports the weak races like marauder, viral and especially guardians....

Ok lothor didn;t realise you;d thought it up, well good job to you then =)

I did suspect that the coding would be difficult though =(

Pretty good idea But as sparteneli said the A.miners would get their Butts kicked even more.

Actually DP i had thought up this a few years ago. As ships are destroyed they leave debris. The winner of the battle would get a % of the minerals it took to build the ships from the debris feild. Though when i had told stephen at the time i think the coding was a bit more difficult plus wouldn`t see anything till the 1.07 update.

Nice idea dp ... but i doubt that would be enough to rectify the mineral shortage

Miners would get the crab kicked out of them worse then they do now though
