Carriers:
Carriers are annoying, they don't have enough energy, people suck defending/attacking them, so they get available only if you have a SY... :P
There are no longer piloted carriers available, since the drones moved to SY.

Sup/Tac GA swap:
Tac benefits more from msl GAs than Sup and Sup more from shield GAs...

Interceptors:
Ints have a to high operation range. The more you get away from your base, the more you have to think how to get home. Reducing their speed forces them to boost, even if they want to defend a constructor on opening. Ints should be still a beast in dogfighting, but if they go to far away from their operating base, they're $#@!ed. Getting a SY and building Carriers will increase the operating range of Ints (see forward operating base).

BIOS miner costs:
This should it make a bit easier to re-buy miners, if you lost them all. It also gives BIOS a little bit more money at the start, which could be later balanced by reducing starting money a bit.

Yield:
It's no longer a peak for Exp, but for SY.

Pulse:
Reducing the range should boost SF/SB a bit, they're still powerful.

Dreg yield:
Finally they get really expensive (1.25 cost vs 1.20 yield)...

GT yield:
350 per load is no real nerf, the nerf is only within the head of players. (OMG, only 95% yield!)

OH costs:
They get free EnhShips, so they pay a bit more...

OH GAs:
2% don't make a difference, just looks ugly. :P

Rix Scouts:
We go back to the roots (somehow). During opening only scouts can rip to other scouts. You can try to rip a fig to scout, but it doesn't have enough energy. Same for SF, they shouldn't rip to scouts.
If you get AdvScouts, EnhFigs or AdvSfs, you can rip to scouts like before.
HvyScout can no longer mount forward Mini-AC, but it get's a 2nd gunmount for a Gat/Dis and ammo is on same level like TF scout.

TF:
Acceleration is back on normal, but they still have the bonus of reduced mass.
Hull was dropped back on normal level, because their models are to hard to hit anyway (specially Ints).




Note:
This core is still within orientation phase.

PS:
I suck at changing things with ICE... :ninja:

you need to increase the rip cost of SFs by more than 1, if you buy ship energy they will be able to rip to SR scouts as normal and it ends up being a pointless change

Holy emasculated interceptors, batman!

Good interjection... So ripcord energy of SF/Fig needs to be 1321... :glare:

They just loose the ability to travel fast and deep into enemy territory to kill stuff. You can still do this, but you have to trade ammo for fuel. They are no longer super agile YF-12s, they are more like Natter now...

Could have rounded those OH .98's down to the nearest five too :cool:

The whore lobby must be outraged by this travesty of a core.

Edit: On a serious note pkk, would it not be better to reduce the total energy of a basic scout rather than increasing the ripcost? The only reason the rix basic (non-rip) scout needs energy is for nanning. I don't recall the last time I ran out of energy while nanning and it mattered, but nan1's energy drain can be adjusted to match.

you remove carriers to SY but leave SY cost's hi. This totaly removes any reason to EVER go sup and feeds the int whores.

Are you really doing to go exp, now? Nah, this should be called TacCore.

I disapprove of this core.

The only goodness from it is its heavy promotion of rix tac awesomeness.
