Thoughts on 4.76

[Igiss]

I don't like the idea of house wars at all.

We cannot bring 2 forces together in a battle. Let alone 4 forces, and 4 factions. And - let me ask how you are going to make ships better than Eagle, Titan and Sabre? And why - why?? - can we possibly need so many top-level ships, with Titan, Sabre, Eagle already available, Nomad fighter (it's a special one, but still quite tough) included into Discovery, and Centurion, Hammerhead, Dragon and Executioner closely behind with level 9 weapons and better maneuvrability. You want 8 more ships (heavy & light fighters) available in this category?

I may make several ships, possibly Dragon, to handle level 10 weapons. But making 2nd versions of house ships is dull and illogical, because pirate ships are meant to be the most powerful of all in Sirius (apart from capital ships).

A few words about capital ships. Balance of those concerns me most. I will probably reduce ship hulls for ships that have lots of turrets, and increase hull toughness for Osiris and Liberty Dreadnought. Plus energy - those ships will have most powerful energy sources, and their turrets will require most energy to fire. So it will be possible to mount a few Osiris turrets on another ships, but not all of them. As for cruiser forward turrets, I'll reduce their power and increase turret power instead, and missiles... all missiles will deal some 25-30% less damage.
