The future of those armor upgrades is one of the biggest balance issues we should discuss IMO...
' Wrote:Well, lets have a 'speed upgrade', based around the armour upgrade. Class I-X, and class one makes you 10% faster, class 2 20% etc.
Either have instead of the armour upgrade, or instead of the thruster, or create its own slot. This should get rid of the speed modders, as they would be able to buy it anyway, thus saving them the time and effort of bothering to hack the server.
This idea is as simple as great.
I LOVE it... use armor upgrades or faster thrusters. The choice is up to you. Be faster and get less hits or tougher and survive more.
But you should still have a thruster with an armor upgrade, otherwise you'd die way too fast. Maybe a slower (than it is now) one.
So we'd have:
Normal = Normal thrusting speed, normal armor
Armor = Slower, tougher
Speed = Faster, well... less amor? (or no change for armor?)
We could still use different classes. The highest armor upgrade would be the toughest, but also the one with the slowest thruster...
Everyone could decide which one to use, according to his play-style. *dreams*
