Just One... Too late now 1.Make destroyers something weaker then they (crusiers) are now and add crusiers with similar power to those now existing in game. Why make them weaker? Just reclassify them (if you don't like them called cruisers), keep the Kodiac as a Cruiser and add a second type of direct fire fighti
Why are you people so stuck on the naval terms, different navies have had different terms you know. Yes i know that it's strange, but i simply can't accept that destroyer will win over a crusier. Arghhhhh... for me this is important. For You isn't. Devs will decide.
How do you want to make them weaker? Remove the one squadron from the carrier? Degrade the heavy frigate to a light frigate? Remove the repair ability from the Hoshiko? I only know that IF we want to make them destroyer class ships then We need some space for true crusiers. Ther are only two options. 1.Make destroyers something weaker then they (crusiers) are now and add crusiers with similar power to those now existing in game. 2. Make capital
Or you could rename the current cruisers 'destroyers' and make the new ships we are discussing here 'cruisers'. Cruiser's are the next biggest thing after battleships/carriers in the navy, so it makes sense. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Cong
Flak/Missile Defense/Scouting... these are the general abilities of an escort Destroyer, and yes we put these in one package in real life, so why not in fake life? At any rate I wouldn't give it all 3 abillities, I would give it 2. Think of it as a super heavy scout ship. It wouldn't make scouts obsolete as they are just so cheap, and the Destroyer would be far down the tech tree, but it would be useful to scout systems by a fleet as a whole. OR don't have its stregnth
Actually, a 'destroyer' hull would be between a frigate and a cruiser, I believe, in current naval terms Not that I'm opposed to the idea! Agree.
exactly. have it cost some time and ressources to designate a flagship - and only one at a time - and its more flexible and forgiving. Agree. oh, and lastly: even though its unrealistic and stuff, maybe give it a max number of influenced ships. otherwise it could leed to much towards building a single massive fleet around your flagship just to make everything profit from the effect. <img src="http://
not a bad idea minefields... big minefields...
it was a parody darker. i know . people here often say that changes would make ships too powerful and they kill some good ideas. if you still think that i don't understand then maybe you are right sorry for bad english...
And then, we can make it move. And why don't we just srap a huge cannon on it too!!! you can say that about every ship in the game. it's all about balance. there is a huge difference between big fleet base and a mobile planetoid class capital ship.
With demands like this there is no wonder the game is turning from the epic it was said to be into a usually shallow RTS. If you have too much time and you are bored perhaps you should ask for more strategic content to fill it up instead of wanting faster action. Agree. Ther should be some speed settings like 100% 150% 200% that would afect research speed, bilding speed, ...
Nice idea. i would love to have FleetBase that give some sort of bonuses like super sensors.
thanks
will it have a huge galaxy or galaxies with hundreds of planets/systems to fight over i also want to ask this question. Furthermore: how long will average single player game against multiple hard AI take? 30 hours? 50? 80?
I want to see the star itself become 5x bigger, its pretty much the same size of planets! Of course people will say it can be that small. But it doesn't make it feel like a star system, the proportions seem out. Agree. In reality most of the planets are much, much smaller than their sun...
10) Formations? I dunno, ships just overlap each other and if not zoomed in, 3 ships could actually be a cluster of 7 ships. Agree. I think formations should be similar to those in homeworld 1.
I think that they should just split crusiers to light (more specialist, less pawerful) and heavy (more powerful than best crusier now). and this is all
they are faster AND cheaper
