A thought

[Boss]

As Zeltak said, bot and batt trading is a legitimate tactic in fights. There are advantages and disadvantages to it.

On the new type of bots idea.. It's not a good one. Say you have 1 unit of hull damage. Just one. Now while fighters have 50+ bots, wasting a single bot isn't that big a deal. But if you have 1 unit of hull damage, 2 bots, each doing 5,000 repair each.. You accidentally hit the button and you're out 4,999 units of hull.. Or say you have 5,001 units of hull damage.. There is no way to just use one bot at a time, so you just wasted an entire bot because you can't tell the exact amount of damage in units that you have. This would seriously gimp fighters and bombers while barely effecting capships. Things are fine as they are. If you want to make fights shorter, you need to change gun damage and/or hull values for all ships. And the balance in that is much much more difficult than changing it across the board.

I was planning on asking Cannon if there might be a way to get FLHook to accomplish this.

You you make it to were your ship actually dies?
This would take alot of money .. buying new armor kits, and weapons every battle you get in.
Maybe I read this wrong ..
I'm confused.

You did read it wrong.

Interesting, but consider this. If LF can hold only 2, VHF 4 and etc, and Gunboats can hold 30. Both of them can heal once but trick is. In fights that are capital against Bombers or fighters you forgot one important factor and that is stronger weapons. Gunboat has superior weapons then VHF, bomber, so does cruiser. To do what you want would meant changing all current stats of weapons, armor and shield because fighters would die faster and soon no one would fly fighters anymore. PVP is important factor of this server as is Role Play, Idea itself is interesting but has a lot of holes in it.

How so? I said that numbers would only be tentative, since I didn't take the time to compare armor points/shield points and bot/bat regen capacity.

The intent was to come up with a way to set a limit on the number of times a ship could regen simply.

As was suggested by someone back on page 2, that actually might be a better way to do it; just make them all do, I dunno, a million or so and just cap all of the ships at 1-3 by class.

Again, this was the product of boredom at work.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.
