well yes it was suggested in the A miner post but yar

Herc 1
Lictor 1
Lyth 2
Pyth 2
Angel 2
Nirv 2 everyone wants that if it goes ahead
Tyr fine

these are idea`s liked alot by the majority , we have a few who dont like it and make big offencive rants that generally show they dont know a great deal past there own empire etc ( no offence intended , you play the game too so yar ok )

but those who do know what there talking about and suprising alot of those who do but take advantage of high build rates also like this idea , ive had alot of nice pms too about this and some messages upon waking up saying its a nice idea and to ignore the ranting few who dont care about ` the greater good ` , even turnbased empires like this idea so well this is its thread

i dont wanna hear no viral rants , especially upkeep , ive told you well over a hundred times now the only way i can do it is toedit the marauders ship , and thats unfair on marauder , one of the reasons to be that race is low upkeep.

there is a possibility that it makes normal stacking tricker because it brings the pr/turn ratio closer to those of normal ships, but then again capital ships will always be build alot.

the trial & error you talked about earlier on was mainly done in beta`s and the first phases of the game, so no point in saying you need to do that here as everyone would agree that the last balancing of ships wasn`t done very nicely and would have been better off if tested on beta before.

in general I highly doubt it will have much effect for the avarage stacker, and I think that if you don`t change the smaller ship buildrates then this change is effecitfly a waiste of time and should not be done

I hope this thread isn`t being used as measure for wether or not we should do this. People don`t generally post if they completely agree.

well sorry but it kinda is being considered for if its added in the next 48 hours next week or never , what you say is well and truly correct too , although a few do PM me rather than speak in this community ( no suprise )

I gotta say, I don`t like this at all. The whole point of big ships they are still big is that they are expensive still the same , more upkeep though and take a lot of minerals to build same costs but you can make many of them at once still have 2-4x+ more build rate than typical stacking ships ( obviously different for each ship but still capitals have the biggest BR ) . As well, on servers where a few people are much higher than everyone else (like slow) those trying to build up to hit those very strong people now have a serious disadvantage sorry but over time this will vanish , not my fault theres no players to compete atm or in due time , since those strong people built many ships in few turns and those now trying to attack them can no longer get them in one full build-up of turns.
No sir, I don`t like this at all. Big ships are meant to be expensive and built quickly. they still are

Oops i posted this in the wrong thread previously:
I think it`s unfair that viral cant choose their RE`d ships b4 this - it`s not on. Some ppl have reversed all capital ships with the understanding that they have high build rate, and would have chosen different ships.

once we are all happy , you and staff , then ill nag and nag and nag and nag stephen , ill probably even quit , in order to make him do something to allow virals to re-select ships , for then i can leave the game knowing , its a perfectly balanced game.

Here is a good point for all the big mineral producer in GC.
What will happen if with the same turns only half the minerals will be used but the same amount will be produced. lol
Yes the prices will go in the bunker.

I think this change will kill the game. I am actually pretty sure !
I meam the viral bug then viral have very low cost ships.
I think just leave it as it is. Just to change something so that you can say i did something. But not tackling the real problems.
If you are so sure that it will work why dont you make a month long test on RT. There you will very soon see what happens !

well i disagree with you completely ( sorry ) most probably will too , as ofr test , yes every update ever done can be changed back , and will be if it fails

NO NERFING!!!

People, let`s look at the results coming then!!!
GC ain`t so popular yet and most players that play it, aren`t the ones that play day in day out... So their time is limited, if this time all goes up for 1 freaking attack:S then why play this game then???
Build rate is just fine, some players spam, but a good player can face that spam and beat it. Next thing that happens is that some stacks will be banned too:S

Also don`t lower the weapons/hull/pr, their called Battleships, Dreadnaughts, Juggernaughts for a reason. And lowering the pr doesn`t counter spamming, cause they keep spamming it and the ships wil actually get better because of the lots of numbers...

Also why the heck do the best maru ships gotta go to D.Marauder CC??? you obviously have a grudge against them...

personally i think the best time to alter the game is when nobody is playing , then those who join have no clue such things as infinite HP and ammo existed and would not complain etc ( examples )

as for the D class comment , they are D maru ships... end of story , they are just capturable unlike the recently added and not gona be used d maru ships that i may balance into playable ships sometime and consider having ste do this and that to make it some form of playable race * crazy dream eh *

guys , this is not a nerf on Virals, this is a movement for not spamming...
as if that can be possible

almost , but not quit , spamming is still perfectly possible and valid , just a small ( im estimating 30% ) difference from stacking

this is a good move,but guards will now rule

they are supposed to rule o.O`` to an extent... if you care about story line and balancing etc anyhow , but yes guardian may need a BR ( build rate ) nerf , too

by the way just to add on what i said

you want to nerf virals?

you can just reduce their ability to build REed ships once they are shrinked probably build lesser than the race can
