Viral adapt to updates

OP 15/07/2009 · 12:20 PM #1

Am I the only one who think its a bit weird that we just had a reset of the viral shiplist, and now it seems as if all the ships is about to be updated again a few weeks after. So now you are stuck with the choices you made on a now outdated base.

And the forced resets has been delayed so that the slowest get the option of adapting better to the new changes... :S

Yes. There will NOT be further viral shiplist resting.

If there is enough support from all virals, would a final change ships be too much of a hassle? That is after the other updates are said and done so everyone knows what to expect.

I do still support a removal of the d and g class though.

No.. But i still think it is weird that you force the reset to happen. It was said that it should be done before july 1st. Now you moved the deadline of the forced reset to 1st of august and at the same time you aparently start changing a lot of the ships again, meaing that those who where slow on changing their ships has got a lot more information on what to choose.. If i had known this would be like this I would never have RE my ships until i knew what the next changes would be. I find that this a big problem. Ultimately if things are xed up too much i may just leave the game. Don`t want to spend another year researching a new empire - that is for sure.

The shiplist reset was NOT for the updates. It was to remove d.class and g.class. Unfortunate that you don`t get to pick changed ships now, but that`s how it`s been and how it will continue to be.

well.. I got the impression that a lot of the small ships, that can be RE would be changed as well. That was my main concern...

The upkeep thing is important as well. I know at RT upkeep doesn`t matter that much as you can generate a lot of money - even if you got a n00b empire, and all you are good at is clicking the research button in DP. :P

i chose pyth for its near 1:1 weapon/hull/pr ratios.....and upkeep but less then 25% upkeep is still better then option #2... nirvana :P

Lol well that`s true. But that`s because I stopped caring for a while. :P When I stop caring things tend to stop, so they went ahead with the viral shiplist reset and it was necessary anyways because of the d.class ban.

I know you play at every server dev! And when I wrote my post i had not seen your, post, so it was clearly not minded on you. All I am saying is that I think it is strange that virals are reset in the middle of the update proces!

Upkeeps are important but if you picked pyth solely because it had a low upkeep, I laugh at you. :D

And PistolPete, I`m a viral on slow. A very big one. Do YOU play any fairly slow servers? Fast does not count, still pretty quick over there.

Well.. the upkeeps are quite important. I guess there is a reason why pyth upkeep is being made higher - dont you think so?! Upkeep is definetely somehing i consider on my ships too... LOL. Do you play at any TB server?

Also the capturing cnoices is based on what ships you have to fight - that makes sense to me at least. So even changes to non cpaturable ships should be considered when you put together you viral ships!

The only changes that are being made that impact virals are the upkeep ones on marauder and perhaps the upkeep one on the lyth, though most virals who wanted the lyth were willing to take it and suffer through it`s high upkeep anyways. None of these changes should have had any affect on the ships you chose, unless you chose on upkeep alone, in which case I will say something maraudian would say.

HAHA SUCKER.
