NEED EFFIX ON POOK CORE !
This is OLD school not SLOW school.
No EoR fanboys were harmed in the making of this post. hehe
Effix does have a significant bias towards missiles, but it is by no means a missile-only faction in the sense that Rix is a gun-only faction. It has significant bonuses to missile damage and track, with according penalties to gun range/damage. This is reflected in the tech prices, missiles being 75% of base, other tech being 125% of base.Pook wrote:QUOTE (Pook @ Jul 14 2006, 08:16 AM) I haven't seen anything about Effix, so I can't say.
What I can say is that you will most likely not see me very enthusiastic about adding factions that break the standard Allegiance formula. So "all missile" factions, factions with uber bombers, laser guns, and blooming onions need not apply.

Research time 4 minutes, and their miners are *slow*.Picobozo wrote:QUOTE (Picobozo @ Jul 20 2006, 01:48 PM) So Effix missiles are cheaper, track better, and do more damage?
Jeez. Guess i'll have to test that one out myself, but my current prognosis is cheese. At least with rix you have to have a modicum of skill to use their gun advantage.
BTW, heres a fun fact. During the concept phase of the now defunct Allegiance Antimatter project I came up with the Shin'cha and Effix factions and backstory. Kind of wierd to see how they ended up now with a new story and wierd balance. But the name is the same as the day I made it. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Damn, that sucks. For some reason your backstory wasn't part of the package provided, in fact I don't think anyone mentioned its existence... oh well.Picobozo wrote:QUOTE (Picobozo @ Jul 20 2006, 05:48 AM) BTW, heres a fun fact.
