currently all power cells weigh 100kg apart from fast charge which is 110kg
and hive cells are only really used by low lvl players

if Hive cells were 50kg it would make them more desirable to pvp'ers

+1

I don't know why we are trying to make the hive cells useful all of a sudden, but this is a good idea.

Re: Hive cell, it's a player farmable item accessible to new pilots that stimulates player trade. It's the low hanging fruit for boosting player interaction and should receive some love.

Personally I'd want to take it even further and extend the mass system to all power cells (like I have previously suggested); like follows:-

Free: 100 (It is free and it does not need a *thing*)
Light: 50
Medium: 75
Heavy: 125
Fast Charge: 100
Ultra Charge: 105
High Drain: 125
Improved High Drain: 125
Capitol: a lot

I suppose having the hive at 50 would kind of fit with this, as it should have a thing to make it wanted.

So still +1 to the original idea, but +1.5 to my own idea because it is brilliant because I said so.

I just more-or-less implemented Yoda's version of all varied masses (with a couple of small variances), including the Hive varient. They should be in production now.

I did not change Capship power cell masses (which were already quite large).

Edit: Ignore me. Inc replied while my internet was being slow.

--------------------------

Yoda, those numbers even seem a bit light weigh. I'm kind of surprised with how lightweight the current cells are while at the same time being able to continually power our ships.

In my deranged mind, we'd end up with something like:

Free: 800
Lite: 300
Medium : 600
Heavy: 1000

Fast: 400
Ultra charge: 500
High drain: 700 (high drain is currently really worthless imho. give it a lower mass than the heavy cell, and it would be much better)

Improved High drain: 700
Extreme drain: 750
