Ship ideas are cool, but what role will they serve that is not currently fulfilled? They sound great, but unneccassary.
20 squads at level 10? imo, that is far too many. 9 squads at level 10 should be enough, maybe even 12, but 20? With this change, I would only bother with carriers late game and just rely on cap carriers. More squads will make Adept Drone Anima and Heavy SC more useful. I agree that Scramble Bombers is awful. I think that it should summon more squads at higher levels, have a lower AM cost and have a shorter cooldown time.

Imho, Repulse should have a higher AM cost. MB should have a smaller AOE. Maybe make it a targeted and directed ability or possible give it a target cap. Scouts need no change. Carriers need more speed and a smaller SC build penalty. I agree with all suggested LF changes except for an LRM damage reduction against them. Support cruisers definately need better targeting AI, especially the Domina. I think that Subs and Ruiners need to be chan
[quote]I was looking forward to The Old Republic, but since the creators of the game desided to be lazy idiots and recycle old and obvious ideas, as well as indulge themselves in creative bankruptcy rather than actually come up with a new idea, I'm not anymore.[/quote] How could you know that? the game isn't even out yet. The devs have put more content into it then all previous Bioware games and expansions put together. What's this rant about ideas and creativity? Star Wars has been a

[quote]You don't *have* to de-throne WoW to be successful.[/quote] But, I will like to see which game will de-throne WoW. It can't stay on top forever. I think SW:TOR has the best chance. Infinity, Black Prophecy and JG:E all look fairly similiar so I think that just one will succeed. I think that Black Prophecy is the best looking starship MMO. I'm skeptical about Star Trek Online.

One of the better war stories that I've read.
Interesting. However, I think that only one or two space MMOs will have very high popularity . I hope SW:TOR will do well. My reference to WoW was mainly about Warhammer Online.
Infinity looks very good. I love the concept art. I've noticed that there are lots of MMOs coming out, and many of them have a space theme. However, WoW is not declining in popularity so I think that many upcoming MMOs will fail. Hearts of Iron III looks cool. Is it a TBS game? does it have real-time combat?
[quote]The science officer had argued that extreme temperatures would be uncomfortable for the occupation forces[/quote] The reason Vasari need to research the occupation of volcanic planets in NOT so that the Vasari can live there, but so that they can genetically their human subordinates to survive without high operating costs. Anyway, your commentary on auto-cast and the AI is sadly accurate, but amusingly imaginative.
[quote]The Old Republic[/quote] How could I forget? That game looks awesome! Bloodbowl looks interesting.
I'm looking forward to the next Sins expansion, but not many other upcoming games have me excited. SupCom2 will hopefully be good and JumpGate Evolution looks fun. But I don't know of many good games that are coming out. Reviews are not always reliable as the reviewer does not actually play the game for long. What upcoming or newly released games do you think are good? What future games have you excited?

Strangely, I've never had issues with the search function. The General forum still does not work. Only the pinned posts show up. It does jot happen all the time, but some days, it just doesn't work properly.
I know that this is the wrong category, but the links to general, beta feedback, off-topic, modding and PC gaming do not work properly.The link takes FOREVER to load and when it does only the pinned posts show up. This has happened countless times in the past and it is getting really annoying now. It is only ever temporary, but it happens at least 3 times a week. Has anyone else had this problem? Will it get fixed? what's wrong?

I think that the Vasari SB takes way to long to build in enemy grav-wells, and the disintegrators are too weak. Also, using your own SBs to kill enemy SBs is way too unreliable and if it fails you are set back alot. Vasari using their SB as an anti-SB unit is an inefficient and difficult strategy.

[quote]Carriers need to regain their original build rates to counter lrms more effectively.[/quote] Agreed. However, I think that the carrier speed reduction was a very bad idea. Now any combat unit can counter carriers and so LF are even more pointless. Boosting LF speed would define their role more and actually give them a chance to be seen on the battlefield.
I doubt very much that this will happen, but it does make sense making repulsion higher tier and perseverance lower tier. The switch also makes a sort of thematic sense, but this change is very unlikely imo. However, from what I've heard and seen, the Dominas abilities are fine, but they are chanelled which makes them a pain to micro and also the targeting AI is terrible. Not sure about Guardians. Its a beast, but I'm not sure how it could be balanced. In any case, the S
I have suggested something similiar to this before, but this is probably better. I like the fleet supply suggestion as well.

Lots of very nice changes, but I can't believe that carriers got nerfed...again. Why? The change to MB is not even close to being adequate. I would love to see a major buff for seige frigates, subverters and Dominas in the next patch. They are shockingly weak atm.

Agreed.
