Okay, basically this is a plea or a petition to make Combat prevailant in the game again, instead of bombing, construction, Supply yadda yadda yadda. I understand that goin into the combat field and wrecklessly shooting the enemy without fear of getting her/his ship blown to bits but this is where the deterrent for combat comes in...the rediculous amount you lose from it like say you make 500 prestige building 3 planets and then it goes down the tube from flying a dread or a station thats just overkill in my opinion, so my suggestion is spice up combat a little more than what it is NOW. right now the combat prestige is piddly prestige like .01 from an armor hit or .2 for a shield hit i mean come on. Back in 1.480 a player like me or krissooo would have 19K-26K combat prestige instead of bombing or construction i mean this is pathetic really if you think about it. But whats the use our cries go unheard or ignored and instead of fixing what could be relatively easy they make the game more difficult and non-n00b friendly i mean whats that say about a future player base thats stuck using frigates and scouts that are just easy prey for a siphon, mandi or a damn ganglia i mean come on man. IM begging you to bring back combat to this game as it once was back 1.480 dont bring back the bugs from 1.480 just bring back the basic principle of the game back to the DS community which was FUN not a deterrent. The Playerbase are so scared of going out in Dreads and cruisers and would rather build to get their prestige! Its sickening! i mean my god!
This game should be about combat not construction, bombing, or supplying and what this patch made me realise is DS is dying if not from the playerbase leaving from lag or unfair advantages but from the lack of combat and people solo bombing or greifing the playerbase of Dictoring the enemy. this simply needs to stop. and dont you DARE get me started on WH fishing and Tractor scouting that is also making people afriad of going out in the MV for Fear of getting pushed into a planet from an Uncaring Jerk of a player who bombed his way to GA or FA just so he can watch the person who WORKED HARD for his prestige lose alot of it just by turnin on the tractor beams and watch as he slams into a planet!
This has been on my heart since i first came back to DS, and realised that i was once good at was combat and now it sucks because of the upgrade bug or whatnot, and now the only thing im good at is Construction and i hate construction im more into Destruction NOT fixing things or rebuilding! Now i know what yer gonna say, "oh you could have taken advantage of the MIRV bug and yadda yadda yadda" but you see the thing is im not lazy and bomb my damn way up to FA or GA i could though it has crossed my mind and no i will not do it! why? because i want this game to be fair not to have n00b FA's or GA's just cause their so cottenpicken lazy! Geeze!
Anyways thats my rant or idea or what not lol  just keep it in mind

I gained 200-300 combat pres in about thirty minutes in Beta Goth, It's fine as it is. Get some combat skill, and see how it works out for you.

I have already answered this here.
It is not necessary as the changes that are already in place within Beta have fixed just everything you are complaining about.

Yup, Goth joined at the beginning of 1.476 (atleast I'm pretty sure I do...). Haha, I still remember him yelling at the bugged ICC shields back then when he found out (They had something like 10k hp instead of the 1k they where supposed to have). Good times!
