Ship Balancing

viral does need to be harder , i do pretend i hate them and all , but to be fair i just think they need to be harder , at the moment they have the better of everything ( maybe not the best ). hence GC is riddled with them. a small idea like making exploring more expensive and harder certainly adds a little more challenge to that " hard " tag they have

only thing with the scout nerf mac is all that will do is make things harder for newer virals wnt really have much on an impact on older virals expect possibly make loosing their c4s easier

i very very very much agree with the star base idea tho

hokko lakko currently have a 6-1 upkeep along side there huge incomes allows them to easily and cheaply spam their star bases into high prs on positive income >.<

a very smart idea macbeth

Can I just say two things I thought about earlier to do with all this `balancing`.

1. Miner starbases should have there upkeep massively increased. This goes for all starbases in the game. I think starbasing up to avoid counters / get power advantage on your enemies should be something you have to pay *ALOT* for.

2. If you want to nerf / buff races, why not look at there scouts? For instance if you want to make Viral harder, reduce there scouts` scanners and / or increase there upkeep so a Viral has to fight for the last 2 c.3s` in there c.4 instead of just the one... ?

Lyth is alright as it is. It builds at 60k, which is a bit higher than the other capitols, but with 30k damage for this 60k PR it is lower than angels, pyths, tyrs and almost the same as nirvs.

O.o lyth build rate lowered...ewww...reduce his pr or something but not his build rate xD

Lyth beat pike on care last i tried( Only god know how many time i used lyth! lol )

And lyth is easy to win against, like founders said Angel rape lyth all day.

Tyr / Hercs are something you dont want to run in

Fodder/Chiron

Borr too but u can win on borr with carefull

And lyth has the 2 highest upkeep first is being P.Zeus.

yup no nerf to the lyth as it is no good against alot of ships like DM said and is very expensive. anegl rape lyth all day long.

pretty high upkeep? try highest upkeep in game lol

Sorry for the comment but no CC, lyth spam beats other spams, so they deserve to be beaten :P It fails on hercs, angels, borrs, pikes, ruby so I disagree. And it has pretty high upkeep too.

Sorry for the Comment but are we going to nerf the Lyth at all, those things are overpower to most races & a Lyth spam beats most other spams & stacks & is totally G@Y
