Balance

[Igiss]

Nadir, this community exists for nearly 2 years, and you joined 2,5 months ago. And I suppose you should be more careful with words about the community falling apart.

Balance issues are a problem for every multiplayer game, for every Freelancer mod. This is why balance of many aspects of Discovery is changing from one version to another. You might compare it with patching for commercial multiplayer games. And I'm sure (dunno if others will agree or not, but that's my opinion) that during the recent year we made a lot of progress in terms of balance.

Why? One reason is because now people are really flying different ships with different setups. There are setups that work better than others, surely; but none gives an unfair advantage over all other options, like it often happens. Also, it's true that fighters have no chance against battleships, but should they have a chance? Guess not; fighters have their own mission and are useful against other ship types.

Nothing is ideal, of course, but I'm working on improving balance. The missile issue is one of the /numerous/ balance issues that will be addressed in the next beta.

To conclude, I won't amend server rules to suit balance problems that don't completely ruin the game. If something does ruin the game, rules might be introduced before the problem is fixed. Factions are free to introduce any rules for their members.
