New Coalition Shipline

[Jinx]

generally speaking...

the look of a ship is mostly the concern of those that fly them - and to a minor ( yes, still to a minor account ) of those that have to look at them ( enemies )

now - the balance of ships is reversed. - the balance is equally a concern of those that fly them and those that fight them. - while one side can provide experience fighting WITH them - the other side can provide experience fighting against them - and only both sides together can create a REAL picture about balance.


now - the look of a ship is like i wrote not too much of other ppls concern - but when the shape suggests a dramatic change - and we assume that the previous balance was applied to the ( supposedly ) worse shape ( from a pvp point of view ) - ppl can comment on it.

there are two kinds of cooperation in a mod. - one is to sneakily include something based on a one sided point of view - the other is to apply the utmost transparency, discuss things on equal levels - and achieve an agreement ( balance ).

to some ships in disco - the first method applies, to others the second, - needless to say, the second version is fairer.

what i find a little sad is that - still.... no faction WANTED to have bad ships for RP sake, - everyone almost always seeks to get the best deal in terms of stats, shape etc. ( excluding factions that were not included in the decision making process of what they get of course )



for that - i do find it important when such concerns about balance are also given in a dev thread ( i have no idea why someone wrote it wasn t appreciated ) - after all... where else can the public write down their concerns about a ship.
to achieve fairness - one must review a ship from as many points of view as possible. - that especially includes the view of those that fight it - and to a minor part the view of those that may fight it. otherwise, we d get a spiral of stats - where each new custom ship became better and better, cause each faction seeks out a little advantage over the enemy.
