Royalist and Rebels :Expensive Ships vs Cheaper Ships

Royalist and Rebels :Expensive Ships vs Cheaper Ships

ITS ALL ABOUT THE COST OF PURCHASING SHIPS

PRICE DETERMINES THE VICTOR

 

There is a possibility the new variations of races will feature e.g Vasari with powerful expensive ships (original:royalists) and Vasari with weaker and cheaper ships (rebels). This pattern will play out for all the other races.

If this is the case i hope to see vasari expensive vs advent expensive vice ver...

I would imagine advent ship engineers finaly packing some serious hull and armor to their new expensive ships. 

"You are basically given a choice for each race (royal or rebels) to have A smaller but lethal fleet or a cheaper larger force. "

 


Best Matchups

Heavy Vasari vs Heavy Advent

Light vasari vs light tec

Heavy Tec vs light advent

 

Although this introduction might favor the advent it might also make the Vasari a super race with cheaper lighter ships packed with lower damage dealing phase missiles yet in numbers can overwhelm entire fleets. When it comes to light factions i would choose Vasari instead of advent and for a heavy i'd choose advent. 

 

!!!THIS WILL AT LAST MAKE THE GAME BALANCED! ITS ALL ABOUT THE COST OF PURCHASING SHIPS.. :grin:

About game balance it's a nice idea,but to be more specific i thought like this :

since firepower and armor are opposites it would be :

  • Vasari Loyalist : High Firepower, Low Armor
  • Vasari Rebel : High to Med Firepower,Med to Low Armor
  • Advent Loyalist : Low Firepower, High Armor
  • Advent Rebel : Med to Low Firepower, High to Med Armor
  • TEC Loyalist : Med to High Firepower, Low to Med Armor
  • TEC Rebel : Med Firepower, Med Armor

 

Range and rate of fire would seek the same way,but always by the rule of Rebel's being more cheap,but weak and Loyalist Expensive,but stronger

TEC Loyalist : Med to High Firepower, Low to Med Armor
TEC Rebel : Med Firepower, Med Armor

I think Advent should generally be having the lowest armor, simply by virtue of how their racial faction is, and TEC the highest, regardless of loyalist/rebel.

And firepower and armor don't have to be opposites for the game to remain balanced.
