Post Increase Slave Research to 10 & Mining ContBot
I have slave research 5 and am still running out of trade slaves to service my bases, and I would like to increase the Tech level of my third combat slave to 17/18.

Also is there any chance of making a new Mining Control Bot, and allowing mining specific slaves to not take up trade slots?

Actually that sounds like a great way to keep FC useful at t21+, just make piloting 21 a prerequisite for it though.

Make an alt like the rest of us for more slave slots.

Three selens/EFBCs seems like it would be quite OP, but FC really doesn't benefit nearly as much from t21 stuff as most classes. The single biggest power increase from t20 to t21 is in the new ships, and the t21 augs that goes along with that. FCs get a new main ship, but their slaves, the part of them that does the actual combat, get nothing. I think I'd rather see RC constantly kept 2 levels below piloting (so, RC19 for t21 skills, RC20 for t22 skills, ect) and have a few new slave-oriented t19 ships added. It would remain more balanced this way, while also allowing FCs to progress with everyone else.

Agreed. I was thinking that once we get to t20 things will get overpowered, but that's just an old way of thinking since it's all relative to what the current power is

Limit should be way increased, or have separate trade and combat slave researches.


I shouldn't be making alts for the sole purpose of getting trade slaves lol

No. There are enough trade slave slots per account. You just have to use them efficiently.

I agree with this from a combat standpoint. t21 FC's get incredibly little increase compared to, for example, shms.

I do agree with remote control raising by a level everytime a new tier of skills comes out. Afterall by the time we are all flying t22 ships is an FC in a useless t22 ship with 2 good t20 slaves (be them lions/panthers/BS) really going to be "overpowered"?

T20 Slaves with T20 augs will be insanely broken no matter what honestly.

Post Re: Increase Slave Research to 10 & Mining ContBot
That's not the FC's fault; it's the fact that t20 is just so incredibly OP compared to every other tech level below it. This is, of course, due to t20 being the endgame and only actively developed thing in SS for a few years...

Well, there are TIERS of t20 ships, lion being tier 3 or possibly 4. Perhaps have RC20 only unlock t20 T1 ships? rc21 tier 2, etc. Of course all t20 ships would have to have a statistic added to them to organize them into the actual tiers (unless this is already in the xmls, correct me if wrong). RC21 would still unlock all the t21 ships as normal. We could ditch that last sentence and make t21, t22, t23 and up have tiered ships as well, with rc21 unlocking tier 1 t21 and tier 2 t20, etc...

Just some ideas.

Lion is supposed to be T21, actually.

Got it off Hal or Caly.

Yeah, Jeff told me this as well. Cant change it now though, as that would either require giving people with a lion piloting 21 or locking them out of the ship.
