UIT needs equal advantage until it is unique

Surely the biggest advantage of being UIT is not being continually told by espionage/ TRS how much better he is than the the rest of us.

But UIT is not engaged in combat in the backstory of the game.

As a UIT nationalist myself, there are times that I feel that something could (and perhaps should) to be done to change that. If the devs ever get around to advancing the storyline, there are certainly options for drawing the Territories into the greater galactic conflict, or at the very least making the faction seem less like the "safe" option it superficially appears to be (at least for new players).

-1000 to any sort of douchey tax.
-1 to new UIT combat ships. We already have access to good stuff. A better approach is to allow trade of ships between players.

UIT is already overly chosen by newbs because it has a clear advantage.

Newbs choose UIT because of what clear advantage?

You are full of shit, lol.

-1 to ship trading
-1 to uit combat ships on equal level to serco or itan military
-1 to further watering down the differences of the factions to placate a minority player base whom know the real fix suggestion is going to get shot down because it requires actual work in fixing real issues with long standing aspects of the game that get much less attention than tweaking ship variants.

There is no quick fix here. The issue is the insufficient economic model of vo that would justify the existence of the uit faction. All these stupid suggestions about making uit even with military ships reinvents the faction. Suggest a retcon of uit if you want a third militaristic faction.

-1 to cellsafemode. You just hate everything.

That said, this thread is sorta pointless...

I tell you what...I've never seen someone complain so much about something yet continue to stick around. I guess some people have a lack of attention outside the interweb and have to troll on an online game forum. Sucks to be one of those people I'd imagine.

Whistler...please lock this ridiculously out of control thread.

Give me a special variant of the warthog called the Warthog CSV (CrazySpence Variant) that has 2 S ports and an L port and 1000 less armour but the same base handling as a WTD (the second flare will ruin that after the fact)

Because I am my own faction and should be unique

CSV also stands for comma-separated values, so you might want to make it spew commas whenever it kicks the bucket. Extra visual effects is going to make it extra special!

+1 to the comma-separated value ship

+0 to the UIT Combat Ship.

UIT was meant for TRADING not Combat, and UIT doesn't need a ship that can match Valks and Proms in combat. The Raptor was not designed to match Valks and Proms, it was designed for Escort, Patrol, and Hive Hunting.

And TRS, check the weekly players online before posting bullshit.

+1 to improving the economy. Give the UIT something unique/desirable to manufacture. Give us all more manufacturable goods! I like the IHDPC manufacturing and its restriction to building 5 a day.

-1 to giving the UIT a combat ship similar to a valk or prom. May as well just get rid of nations entirely. Besides, the UIT have access to many great combat ships like the WTD, RevC, Biocom vult, Corvus ships etc.

Silly suggestion Wally but it's brought around discussion of the bigger issue of economy.

If we gave the UIT a SCP and/or Valk equivalent (which one, exactly, should they get a ship equivalent to? the fighter-thrust tank or the infinite-runner with 3 ports and too much armor?), we'd need to change their standing settings as well--they presently start with an advantage in how they're able to relate to Serco and Itani simultaneously. Can't keep that if we're making them a full-fledged combatant nation.

Which is why the OP is both retarded and a non-starter meriting no further discussion.

However, the UIT DO deserve a better ship. Let them keep the UDV as their entry-level faction ship; demote the TD to a commonly available Hog variant. The new UIT special ship should be an XC capacity moth that's got a minor buff in armor and an even more minor buff in speed, as well as one L port for mines and a turret. Bonus points if they get an AI-fired AGT turret like the NPC moths.

Draugath, Ore and Lecter are stupid. What's more, the UIT have gotten some buffs to the UDV that finally make it seem almost worthwhile to choose as a nation.

It takes one stupid to spot another stupid.

How about just adding the internal conflict that is supposed to be a part of the UIT? Have some missions where you align yourself with a sub faction and run jobs or attack other UIT sub factions?
May 11, 2015 cnaw link
+1 to Dr. Lecter BUT

Since the UITs are a trading nation, their exclusive ship should be a peaceful one that is envied by all. So it should be a shielded XC. A bit of speed boost as well. No weapon ports.

UIT is more than a damn trading nation you nitwit. Read the nation summary upon character choosing.
