giga now sucks
I'm sorry I don't remember any of it. For you the day spideycw graced your squad with utter destruction was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Sunday

I'm actually not entirely convinced that specmines need to be removed, but that's why Night makes the big bucks.
I'd be more interested in specmines that a team has to defend as ardently as a miner. Specifically
*Turning off ripcord receivers on giga specs. You need to defend specs with bases (bitch).
*Make Dreg specs lt bases, like giga
*Tuning paydays to be proportional (in some way) to what a working miner would bring in over time. For example, each dreg spec may be worth a fifth or quarter miner. Various giga specs may range from a third to half a miner. BTW, I just pulled those numbers out of my ass, so I'm not actually proposing them or anything (just using them as an example).

That design sounds good on paper, but it suffers from the same problem that Giga light bases in general do: you can't adjust anything in Allegiance to scale with game sizes. It's a cool concept, yeah, but there's just no way to make it work where it's not absurdly good in small games and frustrating to deal with, and isn't entirely useless in larger games.

Hmm, well you could give specs only hull (more of it), no shields, and let nans be the scaling buffer, but then galvs would need to be adjusted so as to not out-damage the repairs of 3 times as many scouts.
If that doesn't sound practical, what about replacing galvs with $20x5 racks of anti-lt/minor torpedoes? Having no cost or nan buffer makes it way over-powered in larger games

It is Karnage! Don Karnage! Roll the r!

Increasing the advanced scout signature runs counter to that though. It makes TP2 drops much harder. What was the reasoning behind that? If you dislike FB drops, isn't it better to hit FBs instead?
Want bigger games? Log on to play at the official game time: 9pmET/8pmCT/7pmMT/6pmPT every day of the week. Also Saturdays 8pm UTC.

the notion of having .5 sig adv scouts flying around which you can buy for 10k with no ability to get pulse probes seemed pretty dumb at the time
sitting around camping @#(! for 15-30 minutes at a time while you wait for that ONE GUY to fly his scout around into the appropriate position is also really terrible, really dumb gameplay and it should (and currently does) require a more concentrated team effort where you have to take a carrier and/or a bunch of figs, push into a sector, $#@! the other team up and THEN slip your scout in
