Well, you're spending non-replaceable resources, so taking out a wave isn't out of the question. But if a MkI is taking out an arbitrary number of MkV units or something like that, that's a bit much. My guess is to have some kind of cap on the total amount of damage done, or number of targets (like flak), but generally we let self-destruct-aoe be uncapped. |

Don't worry, this should make much better sense when the spirecraft minor faction changes are in: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,7693.0.html You'll need to kill that many ships with one go, quite regularly. But the fact that these are a non-renewable resource will matter quite a bit more, then, too. |

Hmm, I hadn't read that stuff when I was typing this up. That would change things, certainly. But after using Martyrs a few times I cant help but feel that even in these 'hard' plots, they would still be pretty imba because of their ability to completely one-shot AIP waves. You barely even need any other means to defend against them. 10,000 MK V Bombers could attack a wormhole and it wouldnt really matter as long as they all come through at once. I believe they also represent a spirecraft internal balance issue, since (IMO) they'd drastically outperform anything else you can build off Reptite and Pysite. They also put Self-Destruct Guardians to shame :] I'll wait and see, naturally. While I'm at it, though - the +100 radius on the explosion isnt always enough to hit every tractored ship (should be +200?). |
