Maraudian finally has ship...

why not increase the buildrate of strafez... strafez can kill spammer.. jus that its jus too slow to build to kill those at high pr.. to prevent unbalance in uw, fodder buildrate will remain the same.. increase the buildrate of queen and runner.. maybe up to 400% increase... this will not really create unbalance since though who have knowledge on gc will know spamming queen and runner is risky due to the low hull.. unlike the problem cos by increase buildrate of destroyer.. this increase of buildrate of queen and runner will give ppl a viable alternative to kill spammer. and spammer know that they are at vulnerable if they spam lot of big ship.. this will promote stacking at high pr since those ppl will be likely to stack or half-stack to high pr to prevent themselves from being wipe by queen runner..

actually i have a great idea.. create a new ship.. that is from the maru and give it to terrans..

how about`s all the races are given a ship that viral`s can`t re-engineer.. and this ship will be more powerfull than borr`s ... this way viral`s will get killed off like the virus`s that they are

I think an increase in the build rates of smaller ships would be nice, but only to the point where they become buildable. if we put them at the same build rates as capital ships capitals will become obsolete.

Yes I agree with Dm here, I think the build rate on most destoyers and cruisers is about right, but maybe some of the small neutrals build rates and/or attacks/shields could be tweaked `cus afew of them just never ever see the light of day `cus there so pointless.

ya gotta love a good borr spam tho =)

Actually that`s been discussed over and over again. Smaller, better ships build slower than faster, bigger, but crabpier ships. If you increase the build rate of destroyers, people will stop spamming pyth/angel and start spamming borr(for instance).

*hands the easy button to Mara*

especially destroyers! all my beloved miner destroyers and cruisers

not a bad idea TGK

yay for ship editing.

That means we can have d.maru ships and the new c.class and straf soon. =)

What about looking at the buildrates of lesser-used ships?
This could help reversing the spamming-proces Gc is trapped in for far to long now.
I mean, it would encourage stacking if u dont have to waste 10X as much turns on lesser ships than on the commonly used spam-ships...

well yeh it would be nice to add a (r) after them all like A miners livid

but that requires alot of space and there isnt any at the moment

no clue.. :S

or if anyone had a clue REVERSED ships would be different from the original races ships entirely... i dont see that being difficult to code, but then again there`s stephen...

Delete viral then!

ide rather delete viral than waste time getting ste to do something with there upkeep , to edit the upkeep you need to edit the ship , why punish marauder`s over viral`s far more awesom to just delete viral :P

And fix kalieums too! At least give them no retal to give them a purpose in life.

You can stack with guard but it is inefficient. Half spamming with guard is the way to go.
Nerf bull? What, you can`t fight a ship with no defense and single very high defensive mod? Lmfao, that`s your problem. What is so imbalanced about the ship? Range 8? 25k build rate? 3500 damage for 6300 PR? I think ruby/tourm/brig are the ships to look at. And what is wrong with lyth? Again 1:2 damage: PR, terrible upkeep. I think these changes and suggestions are influenced by the RT idea way too much. Consider there are another servers as well. Most important things are:
1) Decent missile and energy ships for guard + ruby/tourm nerf
2) tweak brig
3) fix the god dang viral upkeep if possible! Come on, it can`t be THAT hard, considering the ship cost also gets higher when you reverse a ship.

lol, i wont admit nor deny ive built one of those.
