Can we please use the original icons, that is the biggest problem with plus, don't dumb down the game so noobies who fly without the mini map up anyway can tell what is in a sector they are not even interested in flying to anyay.

That is all. Oh yeah get rid of heavy scouts and all factions besides giga ic belters and bios.

If you want that, fly PCII... Wait, Pook will never remove Hvy Scouts. /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />
I am tend to use Paradigm's approach. Start with R7/GoD and go from there. That would mean:
Belters
Bios
Giga
IC
Rix
Dreg

No GT with insane Economy
No TF with crashing issues
No Nix which is unbalanced (either too strong or too weak, depending on game size)

I am no fan of faction specific tech, like GT and Nix use.

What I need now is a server, that can be used for testing purposes, but that has time till next week, this week I will be quite busy with getting drunk. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Damn, you do that Grimm and I would fly the core!

No effix? /doh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doh:" border="0" alt="doh.gif" />

I agree on the no stupid icons thing, bring back the original icons /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

P.S. TF probably wouldn't crash with mono sounds, but they are still a bit tough. Bringing in Effix would be nice.

That would be ace Grimm, however be careful with Dreg, imo it was one of the unbalanced factions in my eyes on A+, not sure how Dreg is with R7 though (didn't read all stuff).

If econ is the objection to GT (DN GT isn't different econ-wise is it?) it's very easy to tweak by adjusting tech prices and/or miners. Dreg is a lot more difficult. It's more balanced in later releases than R7, but it's inherently problematic, moreso than GT. But the bane of faction balancing will be IC.

I am actually not quite sure, what you are talking about. Do you want the original icons, so that you don't know anymore, what kind of ship one is in? Do you want the DN icons?

I will definately go from GoD Core. From that I will work my way forward.

Changes from Alleg+ R7 (and previous versions)

-IC Rookies Removed
-Rix Gunship gets 2 Forward AC again.
-Heavy Adv Miner Removed.
-Belter Adv Fig can hold 2 miniguns.
-Bios Tp1 and Tp2 Research costs 2500 again.
-HTT hull reverted to 975 (from 800)
-IC Hvy Op reverted to 5k (from 6K)
-IC Teleports are now ungalvable Hvy Teleports again.



That I might change back to 3750.
-IC Ships Enh Ships cost $1 to research (As opposed to 3750 in R7-- A method
of rush control, DN uses longer techbase build times for same purpose).

Grimm is this going to be called + or are you going to go for a new name (A++ maybe?) and declare + to be dead?
