Ship Suggestions For UIT,Serco and Itani.

Jul 20, 2015 Cron-Wo Bashios link
In my personal opinion UIT needs a good medium type ship like the Itani has theirs is the Valk from wht I know UITs heavy and light ships are the UDV and the Centaur and Serco is the SVG and the Prom. The Itani Have the Centurion and the Valkyre so they need a heavy ship. and on a other note Serco needs a good medium ship to.

Thoughts/Objections?

(Sorry for any bad punctuation I rushed typing this)

For starters, you're trying to call the Valk a medium ship, which is just wrong. It's light. In fact, it handles better and is lighter than the Raptor -- so it's pretty strange that you'd try to call the Raptor light and the Valk medium.

Secondly, the UIT do have a good medium ship -- it's called the Warthog Territorial Defender.

As for whether the Serco/Itani have good medium/heavy ships, you're going to have to be more clear about how those categories are defined. If we go by the divisions in the wiki, then I'd categorize the Prom as medium, not heavy, because it handles more like the ships in the wiki's medium category.

Ah forgive me I didn't know all the stats to ships but I'm. Still aiming for a better medium ship for the UIT only reason I mean a ship exactly for the UIT since how anyone can get it and also the only reason why I thought the Valk was a medium ship is because it has 3 weapon ports I was mainly going of that.

Thanks for you opinion and many corrections Pizzasgood

I still think the Valent Marauder needs some love.

Have you tried the Axia Wraith yet?

UIT is a trade based faction and it makes sense they would not have as good of a selection of fighters as itani/serco who have been at war for centuries.
Want war fighters join the war nations.

The thing is is that sometimes guilds go to war some times times it won't always be a Nationalist guilds fighting each other. So for example TGFT against ONE,TGFT has lots of UIT but a decent amount of Serco and Itani but yet so many UIT the rats were so jealous that some UIT flew Serco and Itani ships so well they're now discontinued for UIT,so UIT should have at least 2 new ships same for Serco and Itani.

Sirfropsalot... I somewhat disagree.

The UIT a good living off the war, it does make sense that they would be producing a lot of war ships to sell to both sides. Also, the UIT sub factions do not exactly like each other.

Yes. Exactly, ryan reign.
Most sadly, that's a thing that some of the common-sense lacking players from the red and blue side were trying not to see. Years of complaining have finally resulted in where we are now.
But let's not get this started...

I'll have to -1 the OP.
I agree that we need more ships, more this, more that. MOAR!
A good move to make the ship situation for UIT fair would just be implementing ship trading, but making the selling of exclusive ships very expensive (like a 2 million fee going to the nation for the handing over of a ship.).
Generally: +1 to more ships!

Don't forget, Itani and Serco are not mirror images of each other. There is a reason Itani don't have a "heavy fighter", nor Serco a "light fighter" (I consider the SVG an interceptor rather than a fighter as such).

While more ships is a good idea, they should be flavoured to the factions, not just giving everyone the same ships with different names. The Itani do not "need" a heavy fighter, the Valk is already a match for just about any boat in the verse. Same goes for the Prom.

-1 to OP.

Ok how about 2 new combat ships for the UIT any objections to that? I mainly pointing this out because have like 5 or 6 Valk models I just think this will make being a UIT easier and possibly more encouraged.

The UDV is not equal to the valk, but it is close. I have successfully used a UDV to defeat valks, even valk pilots that are in general on par with my own skills.

The UDV could still use some tweeking, but it is the UIT superiority fighter.

The devs could have made the UIT marauder a better fighter, but they didn't. They could nerf the valk, but they have a years old record proving that they won't.

All nations have access to the Orion Rev-C, nearly identical to the Itani IGB, the corvus vulture, and the corvus marader, all of which are great fighters. All nations can trade in itani/serco standing and buy either the Serco SVG or the Itani IBG.

I am not against new ships, or making existing ships better, or giving the UIT more advantage. But you should know what the selections of ships are, before you start proposing changes. You do not know what ships are what, you don't have the skill to judge the performance and merits of each, and if we gave you the best ship in the galaxy, you would still die.

Well sure I agree 100% all the ships you mentioned are excellent in PvP but it would be nice to get UIT players an advantage that's all I really suggest.

Why does UIT need encouragement? They're already the most popular faction choice. Nor do I feel they need "more advantage". The only disadvantage UIT is proximity to grey, making it more dangerous for newbies, and the inability to get what are arguably the best combat boats in the 'verse. I personally feel Serco and Itani need these top tier boats to encourage players to join THOSE factions.
