the Advent LRF has TOO MUCH hull in comparison to other types of units (particularly Guardians), and in reference to the entire Advent race. The Advent's ship survivability comes from their SHIELDS. Not hulls, like the TEC, or a combo, like the Vasari.

While what you say IS TRUE, you also need to take into account that certain things should be different, like the LRF changes. With the TEC's LRF, I don't think that there is a need to change it. With the Assailants though, they are JUST TOO WEAK IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHER RACES LRFs. Yeah, they're a tier 1 unit. But they should still have some survivability against enemy ships of a comparable type.

Ideally IMO, the Illums should get the least HULL points, but have the highest SHIELD points. They can also have a raised mitigation (Advent are shield masters after all), I don't mind that. The Vasari Assailants should get a LITTLE bit more survivability, or their hull/shield researches should offer better effects on the Assailants.

The TEC Javelis is fine as-is I think.

like i said i do want assails to have a little bit more sheilds and i do think illums are overpowered. btw i have noticed that unlike previous versions 1.03 lrms and assails stop firing once enough missiles to destory the target have been fired making them more balanced with illums altough illums still have teh adventage in that area. i do think illums need a side weopons nerf of about 50% but if anything is going to be done to illums hull it needs to be very slight say -50-75 hull points. i do believe it was you amish who said little changes go along way. and yes enforcers suck they need more powerful weopons , hull nad sheilds. i think all hcs should be balanced with each other considering they are all teir 5. but back to the point illums or overpowered yes and assails need a slight health boost. what i am trying to do is get a nerf on illums that wont kill them but will make other lrms a vialbe option. if you raging amish were to help me alot of the community would give support and we would very likely see the changes we want. that is if devs aim to please anyway.

Sounds good to me superfleet. Check out the Modding section of the forums. I put up a mod called RAKK Community Balance MOD. I'd like to hear your input there. So far the mod just has basic fixes, but that's cause I've only been workin on it for a couple days.
