| Summary | 0002803: Zenith Elec Bombers are a bit TOO raped by Maws... | ||||
| Description | Pretty much the summary, considering their shipcap... Z. Elec Bombers really should be immune to being swallowed. It's kinda obcene. I mean I ~guess~ they can be saved... but... really. Unless maws are supposed to be a very very hard counter for ships with starship-size shipcaps... Might look at other ships with sub-one-tenth-shipcap if there are any in that regard... XD I ran into this recently nearly loosing 15 Mk IV Z. Elec Bombers to 4 MkII Maws. Which. Is kinda REALLY messed up. (Thank a Z. Resurve for giving me those XD... damn useful ships) | ||||

I agree. I think that a way to solve this problem is to make it so that ships with a lower shipcap take up more space in the maw. So, for example: Ship X - standard shipcap = one space Ship Y - shipcap/2 = two spaces Ship Z - shipcap*3 = 1/3 spaces per ship |
|
|
That could even apply to all forms of transports so swarmers aren't as hard to transport as before while starships are harder. |
|
|
Thing is. You'd also have to make it take longer to "load" relative to spaces taken, or the issue still remains that Maws disable Z Elec Bombers at a downright obscene rate. And then generally run off with em... |
|
|
Um, hasn't the transport size idea already been proposed and (sadly) shot down? |
|
|
More of a solution is to make any ships that are immune to fusion cutters (from having too much health) also be immune to swallow, but be vulnerable to targeting by ships that can only hit "large targets" (rams/mini-rams, siege starships, bomber starships.) |
|
|
other thought is that to prevent the whole transport abuse if you go that route all the smaller ships must unload first |
