i think that each race should have a hero ship, like a super ship. Each player can only have one hero ship at a time and each different ship has diferent abilities.

I'm all for it. it seems likea good idea. everyone gets one, but they will all prolly use them for an offensive campaign. it is a brilliant idea.

[kandos-]

cheers

A great idea! I love it, but it seems to me that the ships are rather unequal. AP/LP wise. The abilities are good, but like I said unequal, from what I can see the best is either the kazuula or e-ray. They should be more balanced that's all, but great idea.

[promethius2]

This si perhaps one of the greatest ideas i have ever heard
But i would suggest just three minor changes
1. You should be allowed choose the name of the ship yourself
and when an incoming comes up on the enemy screen t should read; fleet1 from blaa of blaa led by "h.m.s. promethius2"(or whatever ya wanna call your ship)
2. If this ship is destroyed it should take at least 2 days to rebuild as this would encourage players to use these ships more wisely.
(AND) 3. If the "promethius2" is destroyed you cannot build another "promethius2" you must either choose a new name such as "The titanic" or "promethius3"This would make players would cherish their ships to use them more wisely!!!!

(BTW I REGISTER NAMES PROMETHIUS, PROMETHIUS2, AND PROMETHEUS AND METHI AND ANY OTHER NAMES THAT CAN BE DERIVED FROM PROMETHIUS )
GREAT IDEA KANDOS!!!!

[promethius2]

btw mavrick, these are HERO ships so they should be a bit unequal.
And (lol) kever are you against or for this invention?????

[kever]

*Rolling on the floor laughing* Hell yeah lol! Mwahhahaa Good joke man

I agree with maverick. they do seem a little unfair against each other, but not all ships can be equal, otherwise there would be no losses or everything would cancel out everything else.

[Supra]

ok, since each race can research the technology of 2 other races, does that mean your capable of building 3 different types of hero ships?

[5th special forces]

it shouldnt. you should only be able to build you race's hero ship. no more, less if you wanted, though I dont know anyone that would want to build less thatn they are capable of.

[kandos-]

first of all:
if the Hero Ships were perfectly balenced, it just wouldn't be fun, everything would just equal out and then the Hero Ship would just be a waste of man power, the idea being that if a ship has less AP/LP it makes up for it in other areas... e.g. less AP/LP the faster it can travel and the more troops it can hold, and i did realise that the kazuula ship was a bit strong so i boosted the MP.

and promethius, i love that idea, to be able to name your own ship, what you like, and the idea about the fleet 1 of blaa of blaa Lead By "Guada Canal" another great idea!!

Sorry to be mean but I must reveal the cold facts to you: I doubt these ships will be never accepted because 1.NO ship can cost 2000mp 2.With building just some ships you could get unbeatable combos with these ships.

[linkmaster]

i'm for the idea.. i like it, so shut up kever

It's a nice idea in principle, but it only works on paper. It would take too much extra implamentation to be worth the work for the Admin. The ships themselves do need a lot of work to make them balanced against each other and in the game. Lets face it, it isn't exactly going to bring an entirely new depth of play to Spacetrace. Shame, cos it really is a cool idea.

oh and link... I was never against the whole idea, but the ships are simply too unbalanced and frankly, I don't think we need these even if they are a cool idea.

[maverick]

Kandos- you are a moron. Perfectly balanced=fun. Without balance, there's no need for strategy, which is what the game is about, is it not? You just want it to be easy for YOU to do well. You're cunning though, this was an excellent try to get your race an extreme upperhand. But it didn't work, too bad there are a few intelligent people playing this game.
Kever- you also are a moron. The doomstar costs slightly more than 2000mp.
Linkmaster- you never contribute anything of worth to forums, you merely agree with players you like. I believe that is called "being someone's bitch." I encourage you to think for once and contribute to the forum on a more intelligent level.

[kandos-]

look maverick why in any way would i want to give my race the uper hand, that would be dumb seing has most of my big enemys are kazuula as well, so it would be an even match. Also i think that with a few alterations to a few of the ships they would be balenced, my thinking behind the idea of diffeerent AP/LP was that the Hero Ships with less AP/LP would make up for it in other areas. but i see your point about strategy, but instead of insulting everyone, why dont you just make a suggestion of how we could inprove them!!
