That is awesome. Definitely want that ingame.

Really nice addition *thumbs up*

Im not to sure i agree with this. The skill curve is just way to great. I would much rather if a lvl 50 stood at least a tiny little chance against my lvl 3k in pvp, would add a WHOLE lot more pvp to the game. The power curve is way to ridiculous in this game right now. As it is right now you cant really engage in real pvp for at least a couple months while you get your lvl up then make creds to get the gear for pvp.

Amazing, good job.

That looks amazing SI. Get it ingame on reset

If possible, make it a toggle option that defaults to on as well.

I would like to make one suggestion here. The unlimited equip slots (damps specifically) don't make it disappear on bases when one is equipped, give bases an empty damp slot for each damage type.

This looks good! I would prefer if the item icons where shown in the list though (like the zebucart one), but that's minor tbh.

A few things I saw in this thread and another deserve some more discussion.

The entire resist re balance proposed by Si is a good idea as long as it has appropriate numbers but there are some other small changes that can be made to close up the gap between different experience levels while also still rewarding that experience.

When you come down to it BvB is all about that 1% advantage over the combined DPS/HPS of the other team at top tier. At the lower end of the spectrum it is typically random as to whether or not your galaxy will be any good or not because, like Enk was saying, you simply do not have the knowledge of your capabilities.

I'll preface this by saying I have been inactive for quite some time and from what I can read much of my base knowledge around BvB and PvB is very outdated, please correct me so we can get the good ideas discussed.

Niche Kits
Paladin had what I thought was a brilliant idea of creating kits with less aug slots but specific inbuilts to compensate. This would allow teams to create niche kits like DPS and HPS at the lower end without using up those oh so expensive augs that everyone else is looking for. These inbuilts would not gain any sort of benefit from Station Tweaking so would not be able to compete in a competitive atmosphere where combat might be imminent but it would allow for the casual defense of a system that otherwise might have been a walk in the park for a single MCing individual looking to ruin a few days.

Omni-Dampener
I believe it was Enk with the idea of dumbing down the tedious aspect of bases in the dampener category. Basically just give the option to make a single dampener to condense things down a bit if you plan on making them all anyways. I am sure there are benefits to this that I cannot wrap my sleep deprived brain around at the moment but I really liked the suggestion when I saw it.

Reducing the gap between base aug techs
Similar to SI's idea to close the gap with resistance let's look at doing the same with base augs. The same arguments apply to this, that we don't want to make Achillies/Spirit augs so small of a combat increase that they are not worth it but at the same time I don't think it would be a bad idea for SS as a whole to allow the use of lower tech augs in general setting and only apply the best gear for serious galaxies or BvB situations. We are about to enter into a period of hopefully exponential growth with a new, poor and inexperienced player base coming into the game, we need to be ready to allow them to grow without that complete turn off of having their galaxy wiped because they did not have the top end gear. Again, experienced players who are in a BvB situation, especially if I understand the current rules correctly, cannot short their kit type or aug types if they want to hold a galaxy but new players who might not be worth that much effort or expense can get away with the lower end options and still be fairly safe.

I miss this game and base building. : (
