*Summary
Detail
Ship List Update
ok here is the ship list update, depending upon the feedback things may be altered.
please be patient with the update and any problems please post them on your help center
Collective Shiplist update
well as you all know collective is a reasonably nice race , but wasnt perfect , it had very little missile damage , and very low build rates , it also has a small ship selection , so the update for collective coming from profesional feedback from alot of players is:
more ship selection
improve current ship list
more missile damage
higher build rates
it is our hope that this new ship update will make collective a combat race worthy of avoiding, its also our hope that the update will enable collective to have fair combat with all race in both defenceand offence , Collective used to have problems defending vs gaurdian spams.
with this new update , collective will have plenty of stacking methods to defend against any spam/stack of any race.

Viral ship Updates
well here it is virals , the profesional feedback is simple viral are not a hard race , they are a very easy race with the best of everything, the nicest solution to this is a simple suggestion made by many players:
decrease the range of v class.
decreasing the range of v class will add a small amount of challenge and enable certain ranged ships to have a higher advantage , A miner and marauder will now have better odds in combat with V class.
V Borelly range decreased 1
V Chirron range decreased 2
Note : Viral Cant reverse Engineer Gaurdian Class ( this now includes G livid & G Lictor )
Note : Shiplist Reset so you can now re-select your ships ( this will only be done once )
A miner Ship update and alterations
A miners have been needing an update for a while now , with all these other updates A miner defence dropped greatly , they had low chances of winning in defence vs viral and gaurdians. it is our hope that this ship update will make A miner a very nice defencive race like it is meant to be , while still keeping them balanced.
G class Become Gaurdian Class.
M.Hal
ECM Shield Increased 30%
G. Livid
Absorbtion Shield Increased 45%
ECM Shield Increased 45%
G. Livid(R)

ionized Hull Decreased 45%
Marauder Shiplist alteration
well everyone likes Marauder , the race is perfectly set up , however they have a tiny challenge with V class and defending vs gaurdians , now with the v class range decrease Marauder can combat v class with alot less presure , and with this small shield update Gaurdian will also become a little less presure
Kinetic defence ( absorbtion shield ) increase.
Sting
Absorbtion Shield Increased 55%
ionized Hull Decreased 20%

armenia4ever
99+ day(s) ago | You guys know taht all these new collective ships are actually from UC... its nots a bad idea though...... |
archaeoptyrex
99+ day(s) ago | Varna ... he had V class lol ... check your fed page ! |
WhiteRabbit
99+ day(s) ago | Varna: Try pm`ing Marauder or Eternus on GCRT as well. Also put about the help center logging you out, though cant see why it would be logging you out of the HC, yet allowing you to also post here. You may have just picked the wrong time to post, such as the server being reset |
Varna
99+ day(s) ago | I encountered a bug today - attacked a viral and captured about a total of 50 d angle and pyth battleships but did not receive them in my fleet. I dont know where else to post this since the "Ask" Center has not been working for me - it has been logging me out once I tried to report this matter as a bug/error. |

99+ day(s) ago | Cynthelion: I didnt seem to notice, though I am in NP on there |
Baley
99+ day(s) ago | Very interesting update, I just hope it`s not coming too late... |
Cynthelion
99+ day(s) ago | Free DP? I don`t think I got any... did anyone else on Fast not get DP? |
species382
99+ day(s) ago | forget last post, i can reach it again, test-DM is still reachable. |
species382
99+ day(s) ago | BTW, the test-dm was a little bit short, didnt got up to the g.class..... |

99+ day(s) ago | Schaijk: As whenever there is a major change within the game such as this special DP gets given by Stephen. Specially when ship re-balancing is happening.
And specially when ships can no longer be captured and reversed, in the case with Livids and Lictors.
sharkrider: Have patience. The only reason new Collectives are getting the ships available to them is because they are showing up when they do the new research. Post in bugs about it and one of the Admin may be able to help you.
qwerty: From what I`ve heard when ships are changed or added to the game the manual automatically updates to reflect the change, unlike UC which has to rely on manual updates.
Pyoro: Special DP is as long as DP is for the server speed. |

99+ day(s) ago | we need g and l class for guard to be upgraded next |
Schaijk
99+ day(s) ago | very nice that ships got updated but why this free DP again? There is absolutely no reason for it and i lost my attack window because everyone is in DP. I bet there are more people hating free dp than people who like it. |
sharkrider
99+ day(s) ago | did someone say only new collectives can have the new ships? this isn`t fair, I`ve played collective for years on most servers... I want the new ships too! giving them only to new collectives, is not `balancing` the game, It`s UNbalancing the game :( |
HolyKnight
99+ day(s) ago | oh i see
thx for answer me
;) |
qwerty360
99+ day(s) ago | *correction
When i last looked they hadn`t been updated... Now they have, although only new collectives can get them...
If you talk to an admin nicely they might add them for you... |
qwerty360
99+ day(s) ago | if you look at the manual (as it is dynamic) it shows the new coll ships are not up yet, however the existing ones have been modified... |
HolyKnight
99+ day(s) ago | 1 more thing it no on the research list
i cant found it |
