DN 00.04.50 Beta

I'm currently stranded in Mac-land until my Intel iMac comes in, but this looks very good on paper Noir. I can't wait to see how it plays.

QUOTE (jgbaxter @ Aug 15 2006, 12:56 PM) Tac is much more expensive and will require more skilled players to use and more thought from a comm to develop, huge price changes (back to A+ and GoD use I suppose). Might be over the top but we'll see what happens. /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

So here is the rub... on 00.04.45, even WITH the Tac cost reductions, all but Belters Tac (which was specifically changed in 00.04.50) STILL did not have as high of a win ratio as Sup or Exp. I’ll say that again for those in denial; TAC STILL DID NOT WIN AS MUCH AS SUP OR EXP. It was close, but was almost never more. Even then, from looking at the logs, it has more to do with the majority of commanders playing with high money settings. I was asked FOREVER to perk Tac and then got vilified for it, so fine... the costs got put back to the status quo. We'll see if it can survive on its other perks.

So just so I am reading this correctly, Lt and Std Carriers do not need a shipyard? Only the Enhanced?

Noir, you have a point on Tac, it hurts yes, but not as much as hvy ints often. I suppose it'll have to play back and forth a bit to find what the community likes, personally I'm conflicted. /unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

BV, yea, apparently sy trigger enh carriers (or standard carriers for giga, who appear to only get standard carriers at best and only with SY trigger), Bios get enh carriers to start if sy tag is on, then presumably standard... which is good, I think.

Bios, oh Bios, I think Tigereye has a woody. /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

Any game with tac in it is not a good game.

Good job, Noir.

I'm still a little concerned about carriers but everything else seems great... I'm sick of GoD.

If perhaps you can only have 2 carriers out at any time with SY flag off or even only 1 with sy off.

I'm not sure if that's possible.

Everything would work great in a big game but thoughs have gone the way of the dinosaur

Not without messing with the maximum number of miners.

They're directly tied together? Insanity, something else to add for a future FAZ release. /doh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doh:" border="0" alt="doh.gif" />

As usual, I'm correct. Silly mortals.

Miners, mine layers, towers, all tied.
