I think MKVIII Cap might be a little bit high, making it cost more than a dread... But then again, 500K armor times 4... 2 Mil armor? That is a little insane.

personally, i think the price for the cap mk 8 is fine, because then spamming those cap armours isnt easy. it retains it being a unique (and best) armour upgrade.

cap ship armours are meant for big ships, and thus, they should cost more than the universal armours, but that means in a rise in price for caps, and an increase in stats, imo.

I think the max the cap 8 armor should cost is 450 mil.... I mean it's only x 0.5 than the 7 right?

Anything over Cap VI is a waste of time. You spend way too much getting something that wont help too much.

Even so, the highest universal armour is 2.5 and then one that costs 50 mil is 3.0? Not worth it.

now - and thats the point after all. -

lets look at fighter armour - 15 million ... once you have a financial basis here on the server, its practicly nothing - and a "must have" - while 2.5 is not much more ( as a matter of fact, much less than in the capital ship department ) than the next best one. people gladly pay for it.

capital ship armour though is usually "rarer" when it comes to the type 8. most ships feature a type 6 armour, which - like QV said is just enough.

so - the capital ship armour prices have actually done what they are supposed to do - make players go for the reasonable piece instead of the overpriced ( effect : price ratio )

of course its a multiplier and that means - the more base armour you have, the more effect it has. - soo.... capital ships benefit more from it than fighter armour. - and on capital ships ... it HAS an effect. - cause you can much more predict the result of a combat, as there is not so much dodging and missing of weaponfire ( battleships )

so - when two identical battleships fight, the one with the higher armour wins - hands down. when two identical fighters battle, its not really so much down to the armour at all.

It is unbalanced but I am happy with the way things are now.

It is. I'd up them a bit more, to some 45 mil for regular armor VIII.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

Having a cap armor mk.VIII is purely a matter of prestige.

It's like with supercars. Why do people pay 1.6 million euros for Bugatti Veyron when it's only faster by 30 - 40 kph than it's much cheaper counterparts?
