[Jaman45]

Like use the armour upgrade way but insted of armor make the shields enhanced and harder to take down
like: sheild upgrade I , II ,III ,IV ...Ect

However, if the shield upgrade took up 25 cargo as well, the person would have to chose between hull and shield...hmmm...

that would be very interesting indeed.

tizzy mafic with both armour and shield upgrades, gg.


im sure you can just make the shield and armour the same class, so if you mount one it unmounts the last one, allowing only 1 at a time to be mounted.

=__=; just don't touch the amount of time it takes for a downed shield to go back up and we can dodge a balancing hell bullet.

No.

If both fighters are competent, fighter battles can literally take HOURS. That is freakin' ridiculous, and there's no reason to extend that at all.

I still say armor upgrades should be removed, but that's a different discussion for a different time.

[Jaman45]

fight time depends on how good you are

and why get rid of armor upgrades ?
there still an easy kill just take ...longer lol

well actually a fighter fight between 2 skilled oponents is over a lot sooner than a fight between two complete noobs that cant aim. so... logic is flawed.

the more people in the cloud of people that cant aim, the vastly longer the fight will be,


A cloud of ace pilots vs ace pilots will be wittled down to nothing in not very long at all.

True. Skilled fighter pilots do not have long battles. If you think you went to Connectivut thinking you were watching skilled fighter pilots, you were watching evasive fighter pilots. There's not a lot of skill in that. (Which is why most of my fights take awhile.)

It's Hexx against the world.

Hexx won.

Between armor and shield, it's the shields that make fighter dogfights last so damn long. Adding even more shots required to actually do any lasting damage to a fighter is a terrible idea. For gunboats, adding shield upgrades depending on what exactly they upgrade (capacity/regen rate/cold reboot time) can really screw things up for the tentative balance that exists between fighters/bombers and gunboats. It's already pretty difficult for a lone bomber or lone fighter to solo a gunboat (hell, it's still pretty iffy for two moderately skilled fighters/bombers to take down a moderately skilled gunboat pilot before it can go far enough to dock or call in for reinforcements) without also adding in extra damage/time required before lasting damage is done. For battleships and cruisers, it shouldn't really matter much since cruiser to cruiser or battleship to battleship fights are more or less over in a jiffy, and it's rare for battleships or cruisers to go down against fighters in anything less than a gank which means the result is inevitable.
