Proposed re-balancing stuff & UC update 28 May 2005
Proposed re-balancing stuff & UC update
Update: Those proposed stuff that has been agreed by players & admins and confirmed to be included in the update will be moved to the update announcement page.
Viral balancing
- Standardize upkeep* for reversed engineered viral ships to Ship Pr / 1.0 (cost for upkeep will go up)
- Reduce extra-cost for building reversed engineered ships from +500% to +50% (since cost of upkeep is going up, build cost goes down a bit)
Collective
- Allow collective to reverse engineer a total of 3 ships of their choice (limited to Terran, Miner, Marauder). This is total of 3, NOT 3 from each race.
- Standardize upkeep* for reversed engineered viral ships to Ship Pr / 1.0
- Cost of building reversed engineered ships +50%
Note*: Pr / 1.8 means if the ship Pr is 1000, the upkeep is 1000/1.8 = 555. The lower the number (1.8) the higher the upkeep
Collective New
Newly proposed alternative to Collective RE (either this or RE)
- Planet Changes: Similare C.2 - C.5, agriculture modifier changed to 0%, Assimilated C1 - c3, population growth changed to +75%
- 3 new ships, H. Brigantine Corvette, R. Snow Cruiser, H. ManOwar Starbase. All collective ships gets small tweaks, major change = increasing the build rates. R Class can capture
- Open up Similare C.5 (256 planets!) (c)
GC & UC update
- Reduce maximum food price cap to 10 from 15
- Disallow capture ability for all players during galactic crisis (UW countdown) (c)
Honor (UC only)
- x honor given per day, this means the older your empire the more points you will accumulate
- honor poings is used to recruit vassals. vassals with higher planet count will cost more.
- honor is also used for players to buy themself freedom (free from being a vassal)
GC Ship changes
G.Lictor: scanner reduces by 3500, Pr reduces by 5500.
Lyth: before energy +35, kin -35, missile +35 chem -35 ; after: energy -35, kin +35, missile +35, chem -35
A.Hoko: scanner reduce to 500, hull increases 2000
M.Lakko: Weapon 800 (Energy 0, Kenetic 500, Missle 300, Chemical 0), Hull 20000, Scanning 1000, Range 11, Power 9769

Some words from Stephen
First of all, I would like to personally appologize for taking so long to compile this re-balancing. I know that it should have been done sooner, but it sure took me a long time to figure out ways of doing it (code wise, and logic). I would like to thank all players for their feedback, comments, complains and thoughts, which paved way to this re-balancing act :) I would also like to remind all players that I do personally listen to each and every player, their ideas, thoughts, comments, complains or even grunts. All the proposed items in the re-balancing is request from players or groups of players.
