Change for ships

Centurion:
Good nice little ship, maybe a tad smaller if agility can't be upped

Vulture:
Another good ship, solve wing bug and it'll be great

Warthog:
Nice light bomber, keep same

Wraith:
don't know why not many people use this ship, nice hull and hornet-level agility with nice cargo, very small (13m). overall great ship

Hornet:
this is a difficult ship to balance, because of 4 small ports, again, rocket issues need to be solved. Providing that they are solved, make it 14m (instead of 17m) and maybe up the agility TINY bit. Also not really worth 7k IMO.

Atlas:
good starting trade ship, pretty easy target for pirates with 8k hull. up it to 9k or 10k

Ragnarok:
Great bomber, I say keep everything the same.

Centaur:
Hmm... the maud is here, but this has 2 Large, but too sluggish to be really a useful trading ship. Little agility boost (not much, keep it heavy), give it a built in prox mine port with 1 small and 1 large. Up price a little bit for the prox mine port. Give it 18 cargo.

Maud "Pizza cutter":
Nice trading ship, shame it's being used for rocket ramming. Reduce agility slightly (hey make it quick still though), and give it 1 prox mine port built in. 2 small port. That should prevent some rocket rammers in this ship

Prom:
Lots of "useless" comments, haven't flown it. Maybe give it a tiny agility boost and/or 22k hull.

Valk:
Difficult ship yet again. Great firepower, good hull, great agility, what else do you want? make it have the vulture agility (which will still make it superior for you complaining people).

do you really want the cargo on the cent bumped up to 18?
dont know why im asking but 18 is kinda high dont you think?

18 seems fair for the agility compared to the cutter.

so you want the agility boosted and the cargo boosted, hmmm... i got no prob with it just as long as i can still get them at s18, lol

I'm all for it. Great suggestions.

Yes, this is a very well thought out ship upgrade post, I like it! :)

Spectre, what's with the multiple posts?

...

Anyway, from what I heard the Centaur is supposed to be a HUGE ship--a space B-52 if you will. But they had to make it small because it couldn't fit into the current docks without bumping around like crazy (much like the current Vulture's problem). So I think it should have the most cargo space. There you have it.

I like everything... except you shouldn't drop the agility of the marauder, it's the only trading ship with a chance of escaping pirates. Giving it a built in prox is a great idea... if it's still used to attack people drop one of the small weapon ports before you reduce its acceleration.

Good, but you need to fly the Prom a little more...

The prom needs to have 22k health, and SHOULD have another l port.


Eldrad: No. Decrease the agility. I've flown it, flown against it, its agil needs to go down

sorry but I haven't flown any of specials except my own nations... you know I still got in corner of my head "the prom and valk is a bit overpowered, don't fly it and get used to it"... hehe.
I'll try the prom today then.

Look at the ship acceleration data for the agility... and come back for more comments.
Jul 16, 2003 roguelazer link
Maud needs to go down... prom needs to go up... wraith and atlas need to switch places... hog and bus need to switch places...
Jul 16, 2003 The Kid link
I think prom was fine... it was almost as good as hornet and better than wraith in my test.

im up for increasing cargo space and agility. but i wouldn't call it slightly useless because of its sluggishness or i wouldn't use it. as for the built-in prox mine, is that gonna be same ammo capacity and damage as a regular prox mine?
Jul 16, 2003 spectre_c_me link
ok if the cent became better than the maud would nuetral start getting into a fit because their ship was so crappy?

sorry for the triple posting, not sure how that happened
Jul 16, 2003 The Kid link
oh the centaur is still gonna be hard to control and pizza cutter a fast nice trade ship with mines (hey at least it's warthog level right NOW, it could go down and still feel pretty snappy).
Jul 16, 2003 spectre_c_me link
ok so what you are saying is that if the stuff on the maud and cent were changed the gold team wouldnt get a little mad? im just asking cause i dont think argueing is a good think for the chat boxes

We are. After all, they got our ships nerffed into nothingness.
