Some ideas on M shields, turrets on big ships, Xenon guns

Post by dholmstr »

I was wondering about the M-shields. Used both for M class ships and as turret shield for bigger ships. I propose a increase in shield HP on all M shields, something like 50% (just tossing out a number). This would beef up the M class making corv.... I mean frigates and bombers able to take more punishment letting them do more. In the same time turrets would last a bit longer in combat. Also adding more HP to the turrets BUT make them "damaged dps" drop happen at 50% HP would give us more crippled ships status, but still fighting.

And for gods sake, please bring back the Xenon main plasma turret from X-Rebirth! It was a beauty the see in action. It had way lower rate of fire than the one the Xenon now has so wouldn't tank the graphics as much :D. DPS on it? Don't care, it just looked good!

Just as an idea. Many will certainly have a view on this.

Combat in it's current state can't be fixed with number tweaks.

It needs a serious overhaul. And this needs a lot of time and work.

So i hope we will see it, but after the most other aspects of the game are working better (2.5 is big step so far).
