Balance!

Apr 07, 2005 Ghost link
This stuff is all really cool and I love the new additions, but please don't forget ship balance! The scp and IBG/Rev c cents are still quite good, most warthogs and valks are still quite useless. Even in attacking a cap ship, which i thought might make a new role for the valk even though its not supposed to be a bomber, the cent still does better than a valk as the valk is so much easier to hit with those turrets. And in dogfights the valk still gets torn apart by the scp and the lesser cent. Also, the scp, used correctly, still tears apart almost anything consistently.

Just a friendly reminder.

scp is over the top, but don't slap it to hard...

without an agt proms loose much of their appeal although they are still good.

The valk is decent at what it does, it does not need a uber adjustment, the only problem is that creating a ship as agile as the cent with 3 weaponports is something I do not wanna see as much as some people would love it.

I place it somewhere between a vult and a hornet in agility, then add a tad more agility because of its specialness and fat exterior. I would like to see the valk with 2 ions and 1 sunflare as a vult would do with double ion. The extra ability to mount a sunflare kinda makes up the difference in profile. Since flares are murderers of these ships. Don't forget however that a valk has way more armor then a vult... which is already there to make up for the fat exterior. So don't overdo it

At least I'm happy that your saying scp and not prom :D.

cheers

Yeah...pleae don't forget about ship balance. It's getting ridiculous with everyone and their mothers flyings proms. And yeah, the Mk2 still tear apart everyone too. My suggestion is to reduce the cruise speed to 55m/s, but increase it's turbo thrust. (And the SCP needs some thrust taken off it...)
