Re: Things we\'d like to see in the next patch

I'd like to see a "Shield Damage Multiplier" added to every weapon. So if you wanted to do quad damage to shields, set it to four. Want to do 20% more, set it to 1.2 . That would allow the new...

Re: Emmisive Armor for Dummies, please...

Further testing revealed that I was not entirely correct. I have a new theory, but need to test more.

In case you were wondering what I used to disprove my previous thought, it was a base ship...

Re: Things we\'d like to see in the next patch

I really like the crew xp ideas floating around. I'd like to add that I personally feel crew should be treated as a resource. You just cannot instantly train the crew for 10 baseships every month. ...

Re: Emmisive Armor for Dummies, please...

To answer your question tbontob, understand that components (which includes armor) are either totally destroyed or uninjuried. As a result, every ship tracks "unassigned damage" which is the extra...

Re: Emmisive Armor for Dummies, please...

Lowest damage meant whichever armor takes the least amount of damage before it gets destroyed. Highest damage is whichever takes the most to get destroyed. Between Armor III and Emissive Armor III,...

Re: How to test Ideas / How Things Work in SE IV

Uh, it already has that option. You can "simulate" both Strategic and Tactical from the design window. And do you have any example of where there is a difference? I have yet to encounter any...

Re: Emmisive Armor for Dummies, please...

I did some fairly extensive tests on emissive armor as part of my revision of the damage FAQ now that I have Gold. This pretty much confirms what others have said, but does talk a bit about damage...

Re: PBW League Idea...

Good post Laz. Like the system. I've always favored point swapping ranking systems, as opposed to those that generate points. However, the system will still suffer some inflation as new players...

Re: Defeating the Talisman

Just remember the talismon means he is putting beam weapons on his ship, and typically a fair number of them. Any fleet with a single method of attack is vulnerable to an enemy specifically...

Re: Suggestion for an improved plague model.

Re: Defeating the Talisman

With 80 DN, avoid most traffic issues by making half of them into missile ships. 40 DN can throw a ton of missiles. PDC will not be able to stop fire concentrated on 8 ships at one edge of his...

Re: Suggestion for an improved plague model.

Complexity is nice, but you really probably want a system that players can grok quickly and easily while still leaving many paths available. Not saying this system meets those requirements, but I...

Re: How to trivially defeat anti-shield weapon equipped fleets

My Gold CD is on its way. I'm hoping to see it tomorrow...it shipped Weds via ground.

And while it is true, fighter to hit chances are all insane in 1.35, that doesn't actually change how damage...

Re: How to trivially defeat anti-shield weapon equipped fleets

Re: 320.2! 301.5, 311.3, 65.4

I'd like to point out I just read 14 pages of this thread, from start to finish, in one sitting. I believe doing so has reduced my life expectancy by 2-3 years.

Re: How to trivially defeat anti-shield weapon equipped fleets

Since I don't have Gold yet, I only did some small bit of testing on the matter of how fighters in particular accumulate damage. My tests were quite interesting however, and in hindsight the way it...

Large mine fields could have their omnipotence reduced if the maximum number of mines attacking a given fleet was controlled by the number of ships in the fleet.

Example, suppose a fleet was...

Re: No Maintainence a Feature?!?!

I agree with Drake. I want at least the maintenance attribute changed back. I'd consider it an added bonus if the Reproduction attribute was changed back as well.

This is especially a problem...

Short answer: Yes, you can mix and match armor. The defensive bonus from Stealth and Scatter armor are not cumulative with other pieces of the same armor. However, IIRC, the bonus from Stealth and...
