and well since terrans have been largely ignored through these updates and nerfs, aside from minor emp tweaks and the Fenrir we decided to give them a face lift by nerfing or improving something...so being kind we decided one of the few things terrans lack is a usable starbase. So one got made.
Go play with them, comment on them, and remember they`re possibilities not actualities....or are they?
cookies for all and milk for none and dinner for two, i`m one will you be the other?

99+ day(s) ago | Great it got into play, but I still vote for a BR of 2. 21k a turn isnt much for a SB and its still weaker than chiron for instance. |
Archaeoptyrex
99+ day(s) ago | cool, terrans finally got a perk-up :)
sweet |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | It seems the changes have been implemented :) |
irish
99+ day(s) ago | just another point built rate 2 since aminer has two stabase RANGE 10 n one br 6 LOL |
irish
99+ day(s) ago | hercs get hammered again it lol |
Archaeoptyrex
99+ day(s) ago | Question:
How does the chimaera fare against the cap ships?
It looks like it loses (not too bad) to pyth/nirv.
Suggestion: swap energy and kinetic attack?
or swap the kinetic/missile shield? (holds up better vs tyr/lyth)
But it looks good as it is too! Bring it on!
/me notes with this SB Gronoria is never gorna lose the juicy clusters on fast |
Gronoria
99+ day(s) ago | This chimaera with range 5 will be useful for terrans. I`d love to see this implemented :) |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | To be honest, I`d much rather have 2000 or even 1500 chemical than 4000 energy (or 2500 chemical instead of 6000 kinetic) |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | Explain how it`s more usable. If the idea is that it doesn`t die as easy, then ultimately you`re going to have to give it some sort of advantage over all the cap ships out there that are going to have first shot on it if they attack on careful or normal. Or at least make the victory more costly. Chemical weaponry is the one area that cap ships have a weakness to.
Or was this meant to be a lower stack ship, and not meant to have a place among the terran caps PR wise. |

99+ day(s) ago | @Ragnarok
terrans already have enough missile power >.< and the idea is to make chim more useable not another powerful addition to the terran fleets |

99+ day(s) ago | so yes to chim no to chiron alright lettme update the thread here a bit.. |
irish
99+ day(s) ago | well i think there is reason no offence to newbies i think people around years earned the right have advantage or more benifits as ii ave no doubt in 2years time slow may close down lol some servers will close lol cos not enough players |
tolnep
99+ day(s) ago | i want that chimera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | Again, just throwing it out there. |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | Here`s an idea. If Chimaera is going to be 5 range anyways, why not change the energy or kinetic portion to missile instead to make it a little more anti cap (particularly anti guard)? Perhaps change the 6000 kinetic to 6000 or 5000 missile instead? Or maybe even add a small amount of chemical weaponry in there (like 500 or something) to make it interesting. |
Slavyzz
99+ day(s) ago | There are already paid only ships, no reason to add to the list. |
irish
99+ day(s) ago | well i have another sugustion for either missions or paid only accounts basically make more ships paid acoount or earned via missions eg hercs for terran done via mission chim is paid n other races to virals hard to do this with as only have 3 ships 1 paid already so
missions for races that dont have them could release ships below i know terran have missions n aminer to havent played aminer in ages so i forget if u do a mission for glictor LOL played it years n years ago but what do the guides think about this? i think cap ships or at least some should be paid account only

99+ day(s) ago | well i like the feed back so far, people are being honest and sincere, and i like my personal record for ship designing when taking public response into effect aswell. |
BadKarma
99+ day(s) ago | I like both of these changes, I vote YES and YES |
sumarian
99+ day(s) ago | Vote no on that version of chiron sorry. Was bad enough it got nerfed from range 9. mess with it in other ways if you like but dont mess with the range less its going up pls. :) |
