well they have been up for a few days now , amazed it took so long to spot them , some havent even been made public here and only one or two people have em.

but alas all the ships have been discovered by atleast one person.

these ships are paid only. and there is one per race.

if you have already researched your research tree and are paid account , yet dont have these ships , you may contact Sol GC:RT when fleetless for a soft refresh on your shiplist.

balance can be done in many ways , balancing a ship to do a job without unbalancing the game can be hard , creating a new ship to do that job can be alot more balanced , these ships kinda do that , and also create a better reason to pay as any race rather than pay for 1 month become a viral leech the game of minerals ore food and new players while never paying again.

i know for a fact these ships are a big step in the right direction not only for balance but for some attention from ste

we actually got stephen to do something here , and im very sure he will do more for us after this too.

and thats me who gave up talking to him over a year ago because hes lazy and does nothing saying that... so yeh...

The new ships look well balanced on paper.

Many thanks to all who put work into making this happen <o^o>

okay just a silly idea, how about balancing the ships we already have before actually introducing more ships. can we please just not give any more chemical damage high range ship to the already buffed virals V class!

Cronus looks fine to me. It isn`t nearly as strong as the borrelly, but looks an interesting ship. And it`s nice to have more than just two...

Thank you for the feed back Collective, it`s nice to know that someone appreciates some things... and though the Cronus does have 8 range it`s not nearly as powerful as borrelly is it`s a strong ship sure but i would have to say all the paid ships are in their own right and thus they should be since some one will actually have to pay to get them.

they were all tested pretty extensively by the people on this project and each ship isn`t the first idea that came to us either, they each had about 5-15 predecessors that led up or back to their current incarnation.

but yes i will assume that after a while of real in game testing if any are found to be to completely imbalanced then they`ll probably be changed.

i can understand the concerns with the cronus but i assure you its no where near the borr in power.. its quite a fair bit weaker * a lot weaker xD*... but time will tell what needs doing once we start getting some actual feedback on all these new ships ^^

also its nice to see positive feedback so far after all our hard work =)

i initially thought omg new viral ship, nurf it nurf it! make the range 7 ! but after looking at it closely i think its alright, tbh it looks like one of teh weaker new ships, and wheres the c/f class battleship :-P

wow, upon first glance there are so many balances put in here, well thought out:
terrans get the cruiser they wanted plus a bit of kinetic damage
miners get the anti-galleon ship that they lacked
collectives get another good "no retal" ship for stacking
marus get a mostly energy-based ship to complement angel
guards get a 2nd ship worth 25000 turns
virals get a 2nd borrelly?!

right now my only feedback on the ships is i think maybe the cronus should be range 7, range 8 is tough to beat

although i like the idea here, i`m a bit concerned about all these new paid-only ships. what`s the point, to pinch the cash out of the only ones playing....?...perhaps recruiting more players and retaining them (by making the game a bit more friendly?!) is important too

Maraudian : ide like to point out i argued the cronus being range 7 myself ... i also argued that viral should just be deleted or nuetered ... :-(

just goes to show how attentive the average players on GC are... which incidentally could be a good thing....they don`t get all newbish over the slightest thing...they over look it or shrug and go "pfft...a new ship eh....cheaters...w/e *hits again* "
