gaian GB revision take 2

[Jinx]

you make a very strong point there, marburg. - change for changes sake has the air of something redundant.

however - change is a motivational factor not to be ignored. - cosmetics - even small ones have a revival effect. its like buying a new car.

after all - a car only takes you from A to B - and to be honest... even in countries where you re bound to a speed limit - and where the secondary issues like "safety" or "fuel consumption" are taken into consideration. - people still like the simplicity of the fact that "it looks new".( not better or worse - just new )

a new toy is only a short burst of motivation - but it comes with a motivation.

in discovery - especially since our updates appear to take longer and longer - revisions are also made to show "progression" in terms of lore.

- so the entire zoner shipline ( just to make an example ) is getting a facelift, cause from 4.84 to 4.86 much has changed - and the designers have simply redesigned many aspects of the ships. - so have other factions.



along with that - a slight rebalance might be done ( like unlocking the front turret, which acts as a F-gun ( limited arc ) to more freedom.



i think i wrote it to somni via PM ...


the first claymore ( except that it was rather a byproduct - cause i meant it to be a dublin racer first ) got it, cause it appeared to be a nice idea at the time - and gaians were a semi active faction with rather solid RP and a continous level of low, but steady activity.

the VHF got in cause - well... it fits in. - but it was also not meant to be a gaian fighter - it just turned out to match the profile quite well. ( and its undeniable that bretonia doesn t get too many revisions - due to the painful texturing job )


if the old claymore really is appreciated - we can also make it so that the new one gets a copy / paste of the stats - and is placed in the vendors stores. - but the OLD one remains in the mod ( no vendor ) - so those gaian GS flying become ( rare ) ships - if you switch to the new one, you loose the old one, never to be purchased again. - until it really becomes a relic of old times.
