How about a reward for these 2 badges (500 & 1000 queen kills) since the badges exist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What the rewards should be -

EC-89 advanced (hive hunter) with the following stats - (1000 queen kills reward)

225 m/s turbo speed
70 m/s top speed
Mass - 2800
3 light slots
Cargo - 16 cu
Turbo energy - 54/sec
Thrust - 265 N(?)
Turbo thrust - 350 N(?)
Spin torque - 9.4 nm(?)
Armor - 9800
Length - 10m
Same design as regular EC-89

Plasma HX hive destroyer - (500 kills)
All same stats of regular plasma hx but instead of 160 m/s travel speed, hive destroyer will have 195 m/s travel speed.

I went with these stats so the ship & weapon can be used very well for pvp as well but ofc its main role is hunting hive (also because I just love EC(any) with plasma hx to kill the queens)

I don't know Valk stats (not traveling to itani space & wiki is often outdated on some stats) but I want this ship to have similar stats because the design puts ec on a bit of disadvantage in itself in my opinion (only noticed that in pvp)

& the weapon will be a very nice change as well since all we have in full energy builds is Positrons, neutrons & gauss mainly. Popcorn too but that's luxen's thing.

The ship will be available at all stations that sell EC-107 & weapon will be available in every station preferably (idk if that's okay but this is just an idea)

Lemme know how everyone likes this idea. (?) means I'm unsure if that's appropriate value or not for the perticular statistic.

Also that someone on discord pointed out there is no 1000 queen kill badge (I confused it with hive hunter badge) so maybe make a 1000 queen kill badge?

The wiki is not outdated.( at least not on ship/equipment data). I don't know who told you that.

This ship does not have any down sides as far as I can see. Even the 107 has draw backs. I suggest looking at the wiki and seeing how you can make comprises.

You'll need to drop the cargo to 1, increase the turbo drain to 60 or 65, and make the armor paper thin. This thing will still have a faster non turbo speed than a Valk(and a faster turbo speed than a ibg) , which is nuts for a EC class ship.

With the exception of the hitbox, why would anyone fly a suoerlight if this is existed?

Instead of 3 sp, what about 1 heavy?

Needs a nerf. How about increasing the mass to 3500 and reducing cargo and Armor to 0 and 7000 respectively? And non-turbo top speed to 65 m/s

Okay so make cargo 1 cu, increase drain to 60 & armor to 7100 (or its gonna get one tapped by govt issued plasma cannon)

& it's not so ridiculous of EC ships imo.

I'd rather take 2 so instead of 1 Lp especially since I also mentioned a weapon for it.

Also I don't think it completely cancels the point of flying superlight because players do enjoy variety I believe & having 2 ships with similar specifications will not make much difference besides add more to variety to fly.

I'm gonna look at wiki & tune some specs so this sits right next to both Valk & superlight. With of course both of those being a bit better

You called it an ec-89 advanced. The 89 is a 1 port varient. So going from 1 sp to 1 LP would make sense in some ways. I would say that the weapon needs to stand on its own( in its own thread).

I don't know Valk stats (not traveling to itani space & wiki is often outdated on some stats) but I want this ship to have similar stats because the design puts ec on a bit of disadvantage in itself in my opinion (only noticed that in pvp)


Three questions:

1) Why should killing 1000 queens give you a valkyrie-equivalent ship? (i.e. how are queen kills relevant to the reward)

2) Why should there be a valkyrie-equivalent available to non-Itanis?

3) Why wouldn't you just level up and get a valkyrie (if you are itani)?

To that last one, EC ships don't cost Crystal. So this ship would be the freemium valk.

Didn't say make it crystal free..... If it's crystal free make it so it will only use free cell/hive fc cell so to the hive hunter role + to make it extra freemium

Otherwise you already know answer to your questions I suppose.... If not read everything again.

. If it's crystal free make it so it will only use free cell/hive fc cell so to the hive hunter role + to make it extra freemium

Why would someone kill 500 to 1000 queens just to be forced to use a free cell as a "reward"?

I'm not trying to be negative here. Its just that EC you have proposed is way too op. Have you thought about suggesting instead some sort of Rev/wraith instead?

I don't like Rev much..... I'll make suggestions for what I like & also what I see very less in game. You will only see EC with new players or those broke on crystals. & since it's design is very good imo why not.

It's not too op imo it just adds more variety.

That just to be able to use free cell part - when killing any hive queens, you will automatically get hive fc cells. It's mainly because you pointed out that it'll be crystal free & too op for it being crystal free. So I added some negative points for it.... Then also 55 turbo energy is fine if it can only use hive fc & free cell..... Also keep cargo to 3 cu same as hound..... So it can pickup the cells ofc. Free cell compatibility because in case someone runs out of hive fc cells, atleast they can use that ship regardless of it otherwise its just useless.

Again I didn't ask it to be crystal free. If EC is supposed to be crystal free then idk it's not so much of a problem to me since one flare or jack & this thing is near destroyed. To me doesn't look or sound so ridiculous as much as you are taking it.

About wraith - it's pretty good already doesn't need a new varient since it's used by only a few..... But sure I'll make a varient for you if you want one..... Valent wraith perhaps or something like that idk.

I don't mean this in a bad way: you must be New. Lots of players already use the EC-107. In fact the 107 is one of the top combat ships in the game. We seem them everywhere. If you don't, then you have not really played much.

That is why I suggested the rev to you. A specialized 3 sp version of the rev would be interesting, and not really done before. Fighter ec's have already been done.

Making suggestions for what you like is fair, but it needs to add something to the game, and it needs to match the developer's vision as well. Do you feel that a light fighter that requires 1000 queen kills and can onlyyequip low end power cells really fits into the current system?

The 107 has 2 sp, goes 210 is low mass, and can dance well against the x-1. And it can use any power cell. You can aquire it via 1 or 2 bus wars. Your newly nerfed ship no one would fly because they would have to grind like 1000 queen kills and then be limited to free cells. This ship would end up in the bin next to the extreem drain cell. Intresting but a museum piece.

You need to tweak the stats so it would be something people would want to fly. Make it worth the grind but not op.

All ec's are currently crystal free. I would assume that trend would continue. That comes built into the suggestion.

Thanks for -1 greenwall

I'll make a wraith instead of Rev.... Or maybe name it Rev but same design as wraith..... Rev design is from those alien type movies which I don't like..... Maybe put these same stats on wraith model & name it revenant hive hunter. Whatever you find better..... 3 sp & everything from above.....

Also by the looks you like the weapon idea or you completely ignored it (I'm real disappointed about this if you ignored it..)

Rule #5

I didn't even notice the second suggestion, because it was not in its own thread.

Well you got me on that one so I guess I'll just repost the weapon idea some other time once I settle with a ship idea.....

Also to your question if I'm new or not - been about 2.5-3 months playing vo
