I think a better way to put that would be that I need to give everyone on both sides more armor and less guns altogether, so things move slower. Usually battles take moments. I can certainly play the campaign, and I can beat enemies that are difficult, but trying to move six ships and get screenshots can get hectic (especially since I don't want 'PAUSE' in the middle of my screens). Literally, these battles usually take seconds.

In other words, yes it's unbalanced. Or at least, both sides are zerging. But I'm the one who unbalanced it.

My ultimate objective is to create a fight which will be prolonged and can be won or lost by the tactics you assume.

Lot's of tiny sections == armor.
▼'throwa probably too much.

[SHAD0Wdump]

I'd like some mo armor if possible.(or is that flamethrower too much?)

[Sensei]

Yeah, the 'throwa (hereby dubbed) will need to be balance tested. I was thinking of 3 to 5 damage per round. As it is, it does 2800 damage if it all hits, due to the wonders of multiplication. For reference if you don't build ships, 280 over five seconds is still probably unbalanced. Of course, it has a realistic range and such. We'll see. I'm currently making up my mind as to whether it should be able to fire continuously or have a reload.

[zchris13]

Burst of like 70 to 130 or something.  Long reload. (it's a cooldown, hehe)

▼Yeah. Something. It's too late to think.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Burst 4 or 5,fire rate 1 clipsize 20-30 maybe more,long ass reload?

[Sensei]

I'm afraid burst, fire rate, spread and clipsize are all critical to how much it does or does not look like a flamethrower. but don't worry, I can do multiplication.

I've got it covered.

Gotz to work on my front armor !!

Deviation is also important,My suggestions would likely go with a low deviation to make for a tight flamethrower.

But a high spread one would work too.Just needs more burst.

[Diakron]

so is this on hold whilst the mad scientist modify our weapons? also if you half damage done by all weapons it doubles the time a fight takes (or double armor or to quadruple the time do both)

[Sensei]

No, nothing's on hold. Do continue; there's plenty of space to explore. Or you can just blow up what's in front of you.

[Diakron]

i say we go explore the unknow spaces then.. just for lols

Spoiler: Can I go on a waiting list? (click to show/hide)

Those willing state your...
Name: The RAM
Gender: N/A
Ship model: Ugly Duckling.
Ship color: Dark purple with light purple highlights.
Profile: It is the same old tale, someone releases an interconnecting virus and a few trillion hosts later it achieves sentience. But unfortunately people don't know how to get over massive data loss and tend to get a little vengeful. Barely managing to download into a ship's core before being deleted. I was built into a small gunboat and fled into deep space before anyone noticed. Now I am hoping to run into some unscrupulous types who won't bother figuring out why I never leave the ship so long as I get results. Otherwise I expect my engines to wear out eventually, assuming my sanity doesn't give in first...

Same. Although I'm much much worse.
