SPY, i like the idea of limiting ships to points, but this point value would have to be reconsidered as the stronger players get even stronger, hence my suggestion of a ship which doesn't gain from techs possibly, just provide a 75-125% boost from the start?

assuming we cannot be cruel with names like 'noob fighter'... it is lighter than a light fighter, in fact it can barely be called a fighter, maybe something along the lines of "cargo escort"?

I can really make this type of ship class very complicated. but i do not have much faith in ze programmers to be able to manufacture any more complicated paradigm than what they already have in ze.

now having said that, i think the ship is basically for noobs for farther protection. its a dangerous thing tho. if not used properly they will still be a big target for heavy hitters.

So my name suggestion would be "Noobian Class Cruiser"

not noobian class cruiser...it sounds so degrading it would make the players look weak which might inturn atract huge players tht were unaware the ship was added(but obviously found out it existed in an esp report)

isnt that the purpose of it?

i mean at one hand u want to spawn a large number of ships for starter players but dont want them to be effective against larger players... i am not following your wake here.. :-s

no i want a cheaper ship not nessasarily a strong one

this ship isnt just for noobs, just a really cheap really fast to make fighter that if you built 1 million of would be the same as 1 RIP almost lol

We don't need more ships,
what we need is better control of the fleet we now have,

Lets say Zorg implements "Atomic Bombers"
then the Miners / Turtles are going to demand "Atomic Cannons"
as a determent

then we get "Gravation Cannons"
and the fleeters will demand even a larger ship to war against these
and the list goes on and on and on and on,

Far better Zorg makes the changes that enduce more
"Player - vs - Player" competition
rather than giving us more and more weapons / fleet

just my "Not so Humble Opinion"

Buzzard

well this idea would never be aprovved in the first place,,,,just thought id put something out there,,,and if you didnt notice everything can destroy this easily,,,,its pretty much a cheaper fodder to guard RIPs
