4.75 Discussion

[Igiss]

There's a 10 million price limit for all ships and equipment, so increasing price of ships can only be done via increasing turret cost, which may lead to abuse. But yes, prices for battleships and cruisers will be increased.

I'm planning to make cruisers and gunboats a bit more powerful than they are no, so they have a chance (if they have escort) in a fight with a bigger ship. They are more agile, but not really enough.

I might make missile launchers weaker on the expence of making turrets a bit stronger. But I'm not sure about that yet. Battleship owners should be in equal positions, and now some battleships have missile weak points that make them much more vulnerable than other battleships. I'm not yet sure if all battleships have weak points, if all do, then making missiles weaker isn't necessary.

Super torpedo anti-battleship weapon proved to be useless because of that shield bug. I have no information yet if there are any bugs with rocket->hull damage (please report if you know any), however it seems that a beam anti-shield uber weapon is required for fighters to have a chance against battleships. There's also a probability that I will make those weapons even more expensive then the current Nova, so two of them will cost like a cruiser - and provide an equal firepower for a top-level fighter. *Anti-shield weapon will probably be the most expensive cause you may theoretically have more than one on a ship. Unlike a torpedo.

Instant cruise engines? What's that?

Finalizing my post with a short list of features that have already been done for 4.75.

- Large train shield bug fixed
- Corrected HP amount for NPC transports and trains
- Nomad capital ships drop more, but they became more powerful

Will publish the whole list of what is planned later.
