I was looking at other comparable ships and I have a problem with this ship. H.Brigantine Its power rating is just wrong when compared to other similar ships. It should be at least 400 IMO.

yea, stephen seems to regard GC as one of those "turnkey businesses" now where you spend like 1 hour a week maintaining it and then forgetting it the rest of the time. I still remember when he used to talk on chat =(

because a formula went out the window a while back

now we just edit stuff untill it works to everyones liking , if stephen gave a toss about gc then yer maybe we could have the luxary of sticking to the formula and balancing the game out in not just the combat field , but well , maybe one day in the future

Oh that...

PR formula is weapon + (hull/4) + (scanner * 5) + (range * 5) = PR of ship...

And then you multiply final answer by ship class...

.5 fighter
.6 corvette
.7 frigate
.8 destroyer
.9 cruiser, battleship (I think)
1.0 dreadnought
1.1 juggernauts, bases

But brig is a new ship... I don`t know if it follows the PR formula like the old ones... most do...

Possibly I wasn`t clear. Explain to me why power rating isn`t a pure math formula based on the stats of each ship. In any strat/war game I have ever played this is true.

zenith , not the worsed idea in the book tbh , any race can smash strafez up and say yer real smart idea , but then others will be like ` nooooooooo ` and well , thats straf in a nutshell , its a gamble kind of ship that either trashes something or gets trashed or does nout at all
