Re: The Star Trek Mod - 1.9.1.2 Update Released
I have a major balance issue. This is really ticking me off i can tell you. its about the STM Final PBW Game, which is, i think using 1.9.0.9. I cant tell if the newest version fixes this, but you really should consider doing it.
I had a fleet of 4 ships, with ship training 5%, lvl 1 combat sensors and 4x2 lvl 2 PDC.
I get attacked by a fleet of 45 small shuttles, moving at speed 3 or 4, equipped with 2 of those 6-6 phasers and a small shield. I lost my fleet, colony and was able to kill 5 !!! shuttles. Now here is the deal. A small shuttle shield can hold of 30 !! Points of damage, which is about 2 hits from a lvl 2 PDC, while the stack deals out 6*2 damage *45 540 damage, enough to even kill a friggin big ship in one hit. This is real bad balance issue, shuttle shields are WAY to powerful, and this was even a lvl 1 shield ! How do you go about killing a fleet of shuttles, who have 2 shields, if even one can soak up so much damage ? I dont know. Either lower shuttle shields resistance, or power up PDC. Take a look at shuttle armor. One armors has a 1:4 tonnage/structure setting, while a shield has like 1:6 setting.
Now this really ticks me off because i was sure the shuttle couldnt beat me, and i even wrote a nice arrogant msg to the other player. I hope i dont stumble upon more balance issues, unless its the me who can exploit them. No offense to you though.
