When we changed a lot of ships, what we saw were that ships with a heavy use of a certain weapon weren't as useful as we had thought (Torpedoes for example). We're addressing this by buffing or nerfing the weapons to where their point value reflects their usefulness. I should also mention that, and by no means does this mean it was changed so UGTO could be uber, we also discovered that a number of UGTO ships (namely the Missile-based ones) were totally useless against ICC because of the Pulse Wave. This goes some way to remedy that issue, and to restore glorious balance into the game!

Then the cap point missle/fighter on UGTO should be at half value as it is on ICC or Kluth I think. Since the value of missle/fighter on UGTO is not as high as ICC and KLuth, will the MC be added more weapons to keep on line with other faction or should we consider missles/fighters is UGTO disadvantage?

A suggestion about ICC carrier Cruisers.

The old MK 7 was good becouse it has ew enuff to hide itself in a group. (least it did befor the ecm adjustment) We used to wolfpack guppies and ecm with one supply to attack ugto stations and dreads. Worked well.

Maby one of the carriers have an ew suit. Instead of cliche "do you want defence, or firepower?"

Also.. I think there are too many aux generators in icc HC. Makes Def mode work really well even in combat. Furthermore, Speed enhanced ships get a real nifty bonus to energy use reduction.

I flew a full speed enhanced HC at 20gu firing all guns (exept torps) in defence mode. I did loose alot of energy while in defence mode, however when i turned off my sheilds, while still going 20gu and firing, I regained energy at a very high rate.

In short. Imortal HC


See im not bias

yippie so can we remove that good old carrier dread and replace them with something more useful XD.


considering ugto fighters are not used much (stations do not count nor does the battle dread)

Awesome, beams have gotten an overhaul, anyone had a chance to test this out yet?

The HCL and AD are already receiving a slight nerf to the tune of 25% reduction of damage of what they are now in beta (depending on when you read this, this change might be already in).

After some consideration, I figured it wasn't in K'luths best interest to have high splash. Since they fight so close to the enemy (sometimes on-top), a lot of the damage they would have dealt would be reflected.

The splash was originally on there due to the speed of the AM torp (ranges were marginally different back in the day). Since you now have increased speed, it becomes less of an issue of hitting the enemy, and more of an issue of dealing damage to yourself. Since you're engaging at close ranges (or should be), having the splash remain in there doesn't make sense.
