A modded PBW game.

[Starhawk]

Actually fairly easily, the new weapons and shields/armor balance out very well against one another, its just another step up in technology that wasn't there in the previous game and adds a bit more interesting tactics then.

Shield Depleter+APB=ultimate combo!

The I-Las is basically just a lot more expensive and more powerful version of the APB that works really well against phase shields and below but only about average vs void shields.

As far as the ship sizes goes, well everyone gets the same ship size

Isn't this just another level of uberweapons tacked on to the tech tree, though?
Shouldn't there at least two viable weapons usable in the end game?

Well there are Frag cannons which I also added in, they are short range but extremely accurate and can be damaging if you use them properly.

But besides the "end game" always fell down to APB/Shield Depleters anyway so no real loss to anything there.

Except now there are much stronger shields, better armor, better weapons and bigger ships.

This is also pretty much just a prototype for a mod I want to make later on that will have different tech trees for different races.
