  GC unbalanced overpowerd races  

i think that the ships in this game are completely unbalanced and some races are overpowered b/c they can re-engineer ships .. or some races always attack on carefuil giving races that spend hours building a stack no chance.

this thread is for your opinion of what you think about how some races should be changed to even out the playing field

Also do something about the ruby/tourm spam. I don`t want to see 7-% of the guardians who attack me spam them. Kind of predictable, but still hard to defend with strafez cos I can`t just focus on ruby, and strafez just doesn`t kill ruby fast enough before they themselves are knocked out.
BTW i build proper stacks with my guard ships.

`Terrans

Best Missile ships and general all rounders. Terrans have a good range so aggressive attacks on them arent advised unless you know your opponent well. Their large ships are weak vs chemicals so always use the queen and at least 1 runner agianst these guys`

can Travivian guide me how to stacking with Terran? :D

if u take away careful for guard, u will need to take increase the range of guard ships... otherwise those who have long range ships will be overpowered to guard :S

If there is like 3 main stacks within range and 7 dummy stacks within the range of each other, there is many ways it could work.. one simply being that the highest powered bunch of stacks will go in and the others (the dummies) don`t. You could even just make it that the highest group of stacks which are close enough together will go into battle, which in the above case would mean the dummies will go in... this would force the player not to build the dummies at all =P Or yeh, you could give the players an option on the manage fleets page of which lot to take into battle.
I`m sure none of these ideas would be too hard to impliment =]

so ummm this%thing how would it work... would it exclude them from battle if not in range ... or not let you build more ships... cause second idea you have 5 stacks 8mil and then what can`t build a 6th one? 1st idea say you have 3 stacks and your dummy stacks you go in battle and only shows ur 3 stacks ... i guess could have stacks on fleet page be green if in pr ratio if not red

ya i dont care guard can keep careful they are a peaceful race.

i think the more aggressive races shouldnt have it.
but its probably more debatible with non-exploring races still.

so maybe take it away from viral & Collective & A.miner

keep careful attack for: Terran, Maru, Guard

A.miner isnt an offensive race, however they should be defensive like said in the manual
Terran are balanced.

Collective can starbase & have strong ships.
Maru cant starbase & cant explore

Guard can explore & are peaceful but are peacekeepers
Viral are an aggressive race that can explore

every once in a while we all agree that careful attacks are a booboo, but no one ever removes it

sad.

no we should keep careful don`t be hating on the fact that a Guard Attacking on careful makes us win most the time

careful attack does need to go for most races.

Just state it as the race is aggressive natured, & lack that ablility

Removing of careful attitude will make long range ships rule the server.
Why not just remove capital ships along with the careful eh?
You choose to make long range ships.
Don`t like them, change them i guess.

sometimes spamming works lets be honest

also for races such as guard on offensive, doesn;t always pay to full stack

i completely agree with removing careful attitude, and maybe old school 6 stack minimum

*Agrees with Maraudian*
I had a similar idea about only being able to use stacks within a certain percentage of each other... would definately be a lot better that way =]

Also, get rid of Careful fleet attitude!..

I would be very happy if those 2 ideas were implimented =P

i prefer the whole stacks not going into combat unless a percentage criteria is met to the stack above it , this erases dummy stacks ( something that shouldnt be allowed anyhow ) hence making spam vs stack alot riskier , i prefer carefull atack myself as a guardian , could live with normal , but hate agro

i agree with EphemeralEternity, careful really needs to go.
it is abused a lot

and this is coming from someone who uses Careful to their advantage ;p
all there really needs to be is Normal and Aggressive. those should be the only options for attacking.

and i`ve heard Deiloche is working on some ship revamps, i`m anxious to see if that leads anywhere
