Ship balancing

[-GoldenEye-]

So far I found some irritating stats on a few ships (source is roguey's site):

Teladi Kite Vanguard (M4): Weapon energy regen of 706.2 J/s ?
Terran Maccana (M7): Weapon energy: 16.000 with just 600 J/s regen but has no option for emp-c on all turrets anymore/forced to use big guns, apreciate the buff though. Terran Kogarasu Maru cannot be used for TP-Taxi missions despite lore (need to confirm lore: it being better than TP+) viewtopic.php?f=199&t=439605

(#deca.cefa (M3): can equip p-M/AM-launchers)
(Sunanowa Prototype (M3): can't fire Firestorms anymore )


Maybe some problems are related to the source but I couldn't check in game.
Will add stuff when I find something.

Maccana is a drone carrier. Although its an M7 class ship, the ship lacks firepower. All drone carriers are like that. Split Panther has the highest weapon energy for an M7D which is also just 1750 J/s.

Teladi Kite Vanguard (M4): Weapon energy regen of 706.2 J/s ?

However, I think the Kite is bugged. Its too much for an M4. Considering that the highest laser regen of an M3 is just 300 J/s (Cutlass P).

I see, thank you

No problem. But your observation regarding Kite looks like a certain bug. Suggest to add the "Bug" tagline to the title of the thread. So a Dev might notice the issue.

Theres nothing in the lore to suggest the Kogarasu Maru is a TP

its a luxury yacht, not a passenger transporter. The same as the Hyperion

Cycrow, I think you replied to the wrong thread.

This is the Luxury yacth discussion

Well i wouldn't mind going from Brest to New York in a luxury Yatch instead of a passenger boat if i had the opportunity for sure lol.

My biggest confusion about the stats is that M6 weapon energy regeneration is so high compared to M7. I have yet to fly/use my newly acquired carrack to see how it is doing compared to the Kogarasu Maru, but the stats just look a bit strange.

This does seem odd. The M6 Hyperion (2100) has better generators than the M7 Agamemnon (1800), but I suppose it's offset by larger total energy, more weapons, and better weapons.

I this is has been the case in all X3 games. m7s generally have lesser energy regen than M6s.
Its compensated by higher weapon energy availability.

Also, some M6 class weapons have almost similar energy usage to frigate class weapons.
Ex: Both ISR and IBL use around 28k energy per minuet
