Wilde ship

[Dopamino]

What's with the hostility, Dopi? I suppose the Wilde deserve their ships, just like any other NPC faction does on Discovery.

That wasn't supposed to come across as hostility, rather as severe confusion.
I think the idea that every NPC faction deserves its own ships is kind of stupid though.

Unioners... ok, makes a little sense, their forefathers being ship builders.

Hessians... they're somewhat rich so ok.

FA... they're poor farmers for pete's sake. It beats me how they know how to fly, let alone build highly sophisticated spacecraft.

Bundschuh... they're pretty much the hipster intellectuals you see in Starbucks with Che Guevara T shirts and Castro style hats. Did their university library have a section on how to build military level combat ships? I highly doubt it.

Gaians... Somewhat like the Bundschuh, except it's the Birkenstock wearing hipsters instead. Bombs? Easy. Ships? Not easy at all.

The way FL used to be balanced was that every faction was checked by at least one other faction. No one was at the top of the food chain, and it was pretty much fair. Now everyone thinks of balancing in terms of my faction vs. their faction. They don't realize that there's a much more complicated system than that, and that they can't just ignore all the other factions while making my faction and your faction perfectly equal. When you do that, it makes it no fun to play because everything depends on skill (basically who pushes the button first) or how many credits (AKA how little of a life) you have. Lame.

@ Yue & Baconsoda - Completely agreed.
