I just recently started playing and the largest combat-vessel I've owned is a gunboat, so I can't really comment on the pvp-balance.
That being said, I have 2 pleas:
1. Please don't change the function/description of the Nephilim too much.
Disco Wiki Wrote:The Zoners who travel into the unknown of deep space trust these ships to sustain them during long explorations that are expected to take several generations, and thus outfit the ships to be capable of light industry and hydroponic food production during the voyage. The Nephilim is also capable of making planetfall and establishing a fully autonomous colony.
Our entire company-RP is based on deep-space exploration and thus it would be devastating for us.
2. Please keep the model in some form.
Imo (and the friends I've discussed this with) it looks perfectly like an exploration-vessel with those 'garden-domes' on each side and the 'sun-deck' on the front. Ship Picture
Suggestions:
Remove some hardpoints from the ships instead of changing them entirely.
Make it inRP illegal for Zoner-caps to enter house-space at all
I only suggest this because I don't feel that one should 'complain' about ANYTHING if you don't suggest SOME solution. There are probably better and smarter ones.
Anyway, I feel the dev's should do what they see as the best solution for the community.. My logic tells me they must be doing something right since the game is alive after all these years.
I'll just say thank you for the work you put in either way.
