CC_07 - Mostly Shipyard

spideycw · Post by **spideycw** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 3:19 am

This will hopefully be going live this week. We have started out by adjusting the relative power of caps. IF this doesn't work we will tweak it - or complete work on the revert to the original MS system (which pkk has done a fantastic job laying out) which tied this for poll results.

Frankly I am not in the mood to hear people whining before they have played it at all (and Xer is even less inclined if that's possible) - but when it is up and you have legit feedback we would love to hear what you think in this very thread.

And before you even THINK of whining about messing up the tournament - The tourney will continue with CC06, as this CC07 is still "Experimental" to some degree

Three questions:

What game size do you have in mind when you are doing these numbers?

What do you mean by mini2/3 energy increase? Does that mean consumption or efficiency?

WTF is there no Freighters with hyperboost still?

Luxy SF [med] was supposed to be a choice, not a replacement...

- 15 or so (the increased cost of sy con should slow down people from rushing it due to the fact it takes a while for most people to join up)

-Sorry I noticed I left out the numbers. Mini 2 is now 4.41 (4.26) and Mini 3 is now 4.26 (3.86) consumption

-Not yet - but they can at least drop probes now!

Err... ah, it was. Several places, actually. I'm too lazy to look it up, but that was the impression that I got as well

I would LOVE to see where anyone on CC said anything close to this.

I'm not as young as I used to be but all I remember is Psy saying something about them "always" being a choice then referencing the fact they are a choice in DN. Not sure how always and DN got in same sentence (assuming I remember this correctly) but since you are too lazy to look this up I will be too lazy as well

Looks decent.

I like the TF Tac change especially. I've got a rocket in my stealthy robotic pocket.

I might be a nobody who barely plays anymore, but this looks like my favorite set of changes yet.

I don't know if it is the best (clearly haven't played it), but it is definitely enough that I will be playing the game alot more in the coming weeks.
