Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

The "Quasi" part of QNP is the fact that it works as
F = MV
rather than
F = MA

It should also be noted that engine sizes are measured the same way that other components are.

In QNP the sizes...

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

Compare it to shields 5+, though.
Nobody is going to sit around with shields level 1, and you can't obsolete hulls.

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

How many shields does a typical ship have? If it is anything like stock, then 75 points is still insignificant... one, maybe two hits.

Perhaps you should consider making it 50 points of shield...

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

Say what?
50 shields?!? Unless that's leaky shield points, its not worth the space in the hull selection screen.

I suggest that instead of making new hulls for that, you create a Shield mount,...

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

Yes!

No artificial categories, let the components speak for themselves!
Difficult to do, since you have to carefully balance everything and avoid the pitfalls of ubertechs.

However, not...

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

Quite simply, the AI by default will always build only the biggest.

If biggest is not best, then the human players will trounce them even more than they already do.

Now, as I also said, it is...

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

The stock AI assumes that the biggest hull is always the best.
Making any of the changes suggested in this thread would falsify that assumption, and the AI would go down hard.

It would be...

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

I like the system I made for gritecon.

Using required mounts and maintenance modifiers on the hulls, the build cost is made to rise FASTER than the size of the hull. Maintenance is made to rise...
