Allow Shipyard (20+ Players)?

The main problems with NG SBs is their sig and loading time. It takes forever to load meanwhile your sig is insanely high and you will get spotted by ints 5k from you.

And you don't have to spend any money researching them, either!

Okay, thanks, I was initally told no as well, but than a couple of people (also vets) were telling me that it does, and I was starting to get all confused.

QUOTE SY is sorta overpowered at 10v10. Unless you have a good team, its very likely it will roll over you.

SY in games up to 20v20 is Fairly decent, although a well organized team will have no problems killing it.

SY in game over 20v20 requires far too much money to actually be of any use, cap ships are easially destroyed at this point, requiring huge nan trains and EXCEPTIONALLY good turrets to stay alive. Multiple cap ships are normally required for effective firepower.

SY vs Sup is damn near useless. Sup is capable of destroying cap ships VERY fast.[/quote]

Haha, I wish it was possible to enable SY mid-game. I have occasionally started three-ways that, start off with hardly any players and than balloon to around 20 players mid-game. I used to keep it enabled, until I started a game that remained small and both the other comms went Shipyard while I went supremacy...

you are better off with an htt, and they are sturdier, and the enemy can't pick up a 1k missile, and they are cheaper (250$ on ngsb +1000 for each), plus you need to get 400 away from the base, with a 15 seconds loading time for srm ng, with a sig of 150, with a base sig of the bomber of 180, etc etc

We've cappped a Spec mine with NG SBs before.

NG SBs arnt really for capping a launchable base like an OP or tech base.. but for one that takes the enemy a while to run and defend... such as a teliport or spec mine.

Not true.
