Compare the resists of those IQ ships to the DS and keep in mind that the IQ ships are tech 19....15% is a small nerf.

DS has a way more powerfull overloader and alot more speed.

Silent death gives +50% damage, OS 5 gives +40% damage. Sure there's a difference but it's not enough to make up for the crazy resists on the IQ ships since they are tech 19.
A lot more speed? DS has 150, what does the SD IQ ships have, 135? That's not a lot more speed....

we must ermember, its tech 19

not a DS

Silent Death gives +50% DPS, OS5 gives +5% DPS.

Ukuk Current Stats:
Tech 19
250 Hull
120 Speed
2 Weaps
4 Augs
4 Vis
RESISTS:
----- 60% Energy
----- 60% Physical
----- -9% Heat
----- 80% Laser
----- 60% Surgical
----- 60% Radiation

I suggest they be changed to:
Tech 19
250 Hull
110 Speed

----- 30% Energy

Just ignore Vooms posts, he likes twisting things around to make everything he dislikes look imbalanced.

Keep in mind, this is an *extremely* rare ruin, and I don't think it has ever been found before this universe, and DS is FAR better than either of the Bana ships, without question. Sure the Bana ships have high resists.. but so do all light fighters, and Locu has Energy/Phys Weakness sinces its AI Base, and DS has its massively insane Overloader and more Speed.

I personally think it just needs an increased heat weakness.

Give it -50% resists to heat, hell even -100% resists.

So an SD with a Fire Beam can screw the Urqa ship up...

They need to have much lower laser resists. Anything above 60% is too high, and maybe even 60%. Several ubers use lasers as their only defense (Sputty, Marco, Mad Scientist, Dark Curse) and most others have laser ethereal attacks. Anything player-based with the resists of that caliber are broken. I know that the IQ line is laser-resistant in general, but the player balance requirements need to be accounted for...

Sure it's a rare ruin but how many ships exactly have been extracted from them? I happen to know that it's very many. These ships where rare before this uni, now they are common. And compare the resists, it's MUCH better then the resists on ANY tech 20 ship I've seen (not counting panther and rhino since I dont know their resists).
They are tech 19 they shouldnt be better then any tech 20 ship.

Cyphes suggestion would be acceptable, that would still leave them with very good resists.

if your nerfing the damn ship please give us all aug resets. my current aug setup was designed with its resists in mind.

80% laser resists is just nuts.

my 3200 dps reaver laser does 640 dps, just broken

and to boot, they have 50-60% of EVERYTHING else (cept heat of course)

so for the ones who say its uber rare and shoudl be left alone, it shouldent. just because somthings uber rare etc etc does NOT mean it gets to be broken

55% laser resist could do. I like the idea of having some ships that got uber laser resists, just suggesting 55% so it wount be totally broken. Giving it a -50% heat resist would give it weakness needed. The rest... idk...

Not using any of them myself, and prolly ain't gonna use one ever. I'll just keep waiting for the ubang raddie ship (hopefully something bule tech 20 since bulle got the kool raddie gear) that possible never is gonna exist.

in my eyes it should be:

65% laser resist
45% energy
20% radiation
45% mining
45% physcial
30% surgical
0% trans (of course)
-35% heat

eh?

same, i based my aug setup on the resists as well, so if ur going to nerf those ships, at least give us our augs back, cause it just sucks to have spent like 10b+ and finding it out that after the nerf its useless
