| Summary | 0009987: Refactor very low cap fleet ships into bonus starships | ||||
| Description | Now that bonus starship logic is in place, I think refactoring very low cap fleet ships (<= 5 cap) into bonus starships would be a good idea. They "feel" more like starships anyways, so why not make them as such? This would also make the AI treat them like starships (spawning costs, restrictions, etc), easing the balance efforts of trying to get the AI "cost" formula to scale, and reducing the risk of the AI abusing a "loophole" to get broken numbers of them too quickly (there are still some reports of this happening, which should also be looked into) Their cap stats would probably need to be adjusted some to match the starship model (higher cap health, lower cap dps compared to fleet ships). Also, their knowledge costs would need tweaking too (especially the Mk. III, as the Mk. IV would be unlocked separately) | ||||

Relating an old, weaker form of this suggestion I made long ago. |
|
|
Though instead of rebalancing their costs, we could add an Advanced Starship Factory. |
|
|
Just a side comment, I consider some of these bonus shiptypes like "pseudo-frigates" or "corvettes". They kind of sit slightly below a full starship, and don't necessary have to be reformulated to be one. Stealth battleships definitely sound like starships though. :P |
|
|
Note: the only current bonus starship is, in fact, a corvette. |
|
|
But it's Spire Corvette...and we know that their ship scale is rather different than humans... |
|
|
Now that Starships have lower caps I don't think this is a good idea anymore. |
