Says the guy who saying by his flag team has eihter not been playing a lot lately, and who no one has bragged attacking for a while...

True an ambro base in itself is not very expensive nor hard to build, but you need time to extract the metal for all those dims. Then if tou want to beef it, dampener+ add 500M to the cost. Then, rare commod extractors, what might currently be building.


Other than that I agree with what DR said. Something to take into account is that a normal guy (I mean with real life stuff that cannot be bypassed, ie work VS some (at leasst in France) classes in university, and a little sleep) with no social life can hardly spend more than 4 hours in game a day.

That means that bases have to fight alone most of the time (different time zones not overlaping, player with no social life AND no duty during the day). I think even a 3times increase in shield bank wont really matter (except to use other aug setups, but we can already hit regen cap on shields as it is I think)

The beef of mags sounds good, but it should not increase the elec usage if the energybank do not get a regen beef, a base with charger and shield does not have much extra elec to spare for weapons.

Yeah thats super lasers.....and can you say expensive.

What bases need is a beef to all the "standard" gear, weapons need better damage, shields need better banks and regen, energies need better regens.

If you compare the stats of a player to that of a base, granted the base has a huge advantage in the shield/energy departments, but a SINGLE player can beat the shield regen of a base.

The enegy on a base as they are just cant handle the work load of shield/charger AND weapons.

The weapons are another matter all together, even augged with say 2 ambro damage 1 ambro firing an andaman base still cant do enough dps to 1 player and 4 healers.

^^ That isnt helped by the fact that most galaxies are far too spread out, the bases cant heal eachother or cover each other with fire.

As for multiple weapons: That would be a cool idea, but another good idea would be to let bases use their weapons AND their shield trans at the same time instead of them stupidly and randomly deciding which to use. This would boost the survivabilty rate especially considering the new level limits.

Bases do too little damage, dont have enough regen. Simple as.

......... Bases shouldn't be invincible people need to stop being pussies this is a online fighting space game it should be expected you might lose some shit. The only way i think it would be remotely fair for a base to be nearly invincible would be if the colony would die when the last base on the planet does.

I say lasers are fine, its not like a laser should go far, its like a bullet in real life, it go only go a bit until it stops, but mag one the other hand (kinda like missles) can go a very long range.

I really hope that those base generators are cheap though, kinda like the mags and pulses are (they aren't EXTREMELY cheap, just that they are available)

if ya wanna get technical, nothing in space ever stops, once fired thats it, its gonna keep going, so the laser would leave its starting point and continue on till it found something to colide with, since there is no intertia in space

However if things had infinite range im sure some mf would think it funny to max out rof on excoms and lag sol permanently.

A good idea might be more base generators, ones that affect other bases but not themselves so you could make many of them to cover all bases. Dunno, just a random idea...
