Now THAT can be the basis of a whole new race, that will bring such a *spice* to the game, as the Huns did in Age Of Kings /They had no need for houses/... This brings a whole new concept to the gameplay - evolution... The new race can be described as the biological copy of nanite-like activity... A race of *cells* which form organisms according to what the need is... Yeah, I like that a lot... And it won't strenghten Nanites => nor Humans...

On the other hand, multies will benefit from that idea quite much... Not only them, but even alliances, I mean... All you need is an ally with some 2 retreat fighters and presto! - you evolve whereas his losses in points are insignifficant...

I can't figure a way of that practice to be stopped other than to pose a major drawback, maybe MP decrease... -or- the new evolved ships should cost a lot of MP /so effectively they block your ability to produce new ships/ yet when you loose them, you loose fewer MP, e.g. something like the clone-labs - the fighter costs 2MP, so having it decreases your *building potential* yet when loosing it you loose only 1MP/point... Something like that

i see what you mean about the possibility of abuse now but can you suggest anything that may stop it? can you explain your method more clearly cuz i dont really get it. =)

[blackmagic]

Well still. Its going to be hard to abuse this tech. If we end up finding a guy battling with over 100 class 3 or 4 mod- ships, then we know he has to be cheating becaseu there is no way you can have that many. To further more make it harder to abuse it raise the mp just a little, like by 5mp more or so. I don't think you should really worry =)

[BladeTech]

yea blackmagic has a good point. it can be abused but will rather be obvious if they do.

[Metody I The Evil]

Still... A fake MP increase /e.g. increase by 5mp yet loosing the same points - without the increase/ is what I see as most adequate...

So how bout reduce the lp a little and increase the mp. That might help some? im confused =

[BladeTech]

i think it is fine the way it is.

[BladeTech]

oh yea. admins can use this to spot multies too if one player has way too many of these in the class 3 or 4 stage.

[blackmagic]

I got a new Idea! How bout I recieve all battle reports with Mod-ships in it and if the battle report seems suspicious i can send it to the admin.

[blackmagic]

so................Wat is the current status on this?

[tec_server]

On what exactly?

The proposed tech is under discussion here.
Your last suggestion was not really practicable if you think about it.

[blackmagic]

I know, but it could have worked =)lol well i was just wondering if there's anychance in this tech

[tec_server]

[blackmagic]

[tec_server]

But you see, doing a false attack is not actually cheating, unless you are attacking another account you have set up.

Attacking an ally who has a small fleet in order to alter your fleet config is not cheating.

I mean if you want some nano bombers you can just build a 1 1 1 2 fleet and attack a 1 1 1 1 fleet of a friend. Or ally or anyone else for that matter. Hardly any points are exchanged but the evolving/creating ship can do there stuff.

This is the reason some of the players did not like the nano fighter/destroyer thing, although that was a little bit different.

[Metody I The Evil]

Hmm... Well, I think that this problem hardly would exist if the evolution takes place not at the end of the battle, but instantly, e.g. a ship has to fire in order to evolve. But then again, that also will pose a big difficulty in the evolution concept, as it will lower the evolved ships to a minimum size, and on top of that, will loose you points big time, as the enemy will shoot down evolved ships...

Unless...

Well, do the evolution like the clone labs - the new ship costs allmost the same MP as the one it evolved from, plus for example 20 *fake mp*, which means that effectively you loose the same points, but your production of new ships is blocked, e.g. you don't have the free mp you'd need... That can give the race some advantage, e.g. if otherwise, you'll loose big time to make a few ships evolve, and on top of that, if you loose them, you'll loose even more points...

Nevertheless... I still prefer this concept to belong to a new race...

[BladeTech]

i think both suggestions that metody made were good

[BladeTech]

oh and i didnt know about the fact that we can change each others fleet in an alliance like tec_server said

[blackmagic]

instead of going through all this trouble, if you are able to make it so that only peoplee with a score 30000 or more can build it? That makes it harder for people to multi and it is like an earned thing =) It will also make people fight harder =)
