Are ships too tough?

[JIVA]

an old suggestion - that was dismissed by devs/community (although i still think it would be a good solution)



- E-kill automaticly drops a ship to travel speed ( 80 )

- Thrust drains the thruster MUCH faster ( like 3-4 times quicker ) and replenishes a LOT slower

- keep the bats / bots - but make it so that a ship ( every ship ) can replenish 1x 100%



- reduce the STRAFING of HF mk2, VHF mk2, SHF - and keep the strafing for LF mk1/2, HF mk1

- delete the strafing from bomber! - dodging by spiralling or just flying works, too. its hard to hit a bomber that is "corkscrewing" - but it also makes it harder / more skillful for a bomber to place a good shot out of a corkscrew manouver.



- decrease AUs to be a LOT less effective

- increase shield MAX capacity to at least 4 times ( 2 times for LF, 3 times for HF, 4 times or more for VHF and bombers )

- increase shield "types" from 20%+ - .... to 50%+ -

- decrease shield "regeneration" to be VERY slow

- GB weapons speed is significantly reduced





result:



- LF/HF are differently effective - they can still avoid a lot of damage - but cannot dish out that much

- shield bubbles are a lot easier to hit than hulls - so their large capacity makes it both ... stronger, but also more vulnerable - it also means that shield busters are a lot more required

- bombers are very vulnerable but not to capital ship guns if they keep a distance... they drop quickly to fighters though, cause they cannot strafe

- weapontypes determine a lot more about a victory vs. a defeat, cause the bulk of the damage goes to the shield and not the hull

- less thrust and no E-kill thrust makes rediculous 20g manouvers impossible.
