Weapon Level
Gadgets
# of Weapons


What I have posted is how far we've gotten so far.

Keep in mind the player could have up to 600 points, maybe more depending on how we give them more points

I think that the mines increase in cost should be 10 instead of 5

should we set a max of only 100 points allowed to a person for ship size (allocation) just an idea to be thrown out there, or should it be based upon the ship also another idea

i agree

because 600 points is a crap load! you could really soop up your ship if you did that.

no.

no no no no no no no

Creonti's strength is the fact that they have huge hulking ships. The bigger your ship the worse MR you have. I feel like the ability to customize your ships without changing them completely is a great addition to 1.5.

The whole point of revamping the ship upgrades was to make it so that even if you put all of your points into ship size, you don't make SMS type ships.

If you want to limit the power that shipsize has, perhaps tweak the MR code so that the ship size has a bigger affect on it, or else we can move these points around even more, but limiting the amount that a pilot can fix their ships is something that I am completely against. I say as long as your skill allows you to do something, there should be nothing stopping you from doing so.

This is something I feel VERY strongly about.

to give every ship 600 points to customize seems overboard I think that these ship points should have to be earned by doing higher tier missions super ships increase the learning curve for new players imagine orca flying one of these top hunters with 6 extra guns
