Give the Raptor better stats

Apr 02, 2006 zamzx zik link
it really, really needs a big boost ^^

I know some people have said it being 'prototype' and for RP values it is not very good, can you clear that up some?

anyway, if you dont already have it all planned out, (mayhaps you didn't want to give it too good of stats) here some suggestions on what to do to it.

1) Give it heavy ports!
having 2H and 2L would be really cool, and since the weight of the heavy will auto-balence the ship, it shouldn't be too good

2) give it more ports of anykind!
'nuff said

3) add more thrust to that sucker.

it has four enigines...

'k guys, post your stuff.

Aye, this is on the proper forum though , and also the topic isn't exactly the same, this one is decated to the best way to mess with the raptor.

That's "ship assesment"

The raptor doesn't better stats, it needs its own niche...I can't think of any right now...but I'm not the one being paid to do it.

zamzx zik, this isn't quite yet the right section fo this thread yet. The ship is not "balanced" just yet and thus any discussion should fall in the general forums, I believe.

Suggestions are for things not being adressed yet by the game platform.

This is on the SUGGESTIONS fourm, for SUGGESTING stats. I know it's going to be changed, that is what this thread is for, for SUGGESTING stats to the devs!

hehe, should move the other thread here then... because that's where it belongs (it's clearly a suggestions thread, even if it's int eh syntax of an RP)

The Raptor has a niche...

Long-range reconnaissance in "potentially" hostile space.

"Long-range reconnaissance in "potentially" hostile space."

So basically... it's great as long as Schrödinger remains undecided, but the moment you know if the space is hostile or not, it either sucks because it is (and the raptor can't fight) or it sucks because it isn't (and the Raptor wasn't the best choice for the mission anyway)...
