more defensive measures

[Travis]

i have though of a few things that could be added to the game (defense wise).

iris:
iris technology could be a defense enhancement. it could work like this (these types of iris could apply for all races):
lvl 1 - titanium iris (10% defense increase)
lvl 2 - trinium iris (20% defense increase)
lvl 3 - energy iris (30% defense increase)



i have though of new base (defensive) upgrades:

tauri - ancient outpost base
goauld - goauld dominated system.
replicators - planet size replicator block.

all of these increase the defense by 60%. up from the current 40% upgrades available to these races.

i haven't put one in for the asgard because they already have a third one. the asgard have defensive superiority. if these ideas were to be put into place then they would still have that superiority. all of the races would have 3 defense upgrades but the asgard would have their upgrade stay as 100% which is still greatly superior to the other three races.
i also think that to really even it out (assuming that this idea is considered), the same thing should be done with attack so that the asgard, replicators and goauld should have attack upgrades for 60% equal to that of the defense upgrades.

The first suggestion is a good one. The cost of the upgrade should be priced similarly to the merc tech upgrades. The higher a players up the more exspensive the upgrade. The second one I'm not to sure about though. It would lesson Asgard defensive superiority which would throw off the balance of the game.

But how is an iris supposed to defend against a fleet of ships?

I think people assume that attacks are carried out through the Stargates - but how could a Mothership, or even an X302 get throught the gate??

This said though - the iris idea could be used in conjnction with a nother idea - new covert abilities - i.e. infiltration to steal naq, gather info (attack/intel logs) etc.

Perhaps having an iris would be a good way in introducing a defence against covert attack? Would probably be expensive though!

So I'd vote for the first one, but as a defence against covert - since that isn't an option, I haven't voted!!

Let me point you back to an old thread on irises. I still like the ideas there.

yeah i had already though of that. but i left that out as there are a few holes like this in the game. i though that it could be protection from everything except motherships and 302's but it would be too much hassle.

[Aegir of the Valhalla] yeah i know but i suggested an attack upgrade for all but the tauri to even it out a little. i suppose that the asguard could have another defense upgrade to something like between 120-140%

In the end this wont change the game at all.

LOL!!! I don't know how you can say that - it would be one of the biggest changes in my opinion!

someone doesnt know what he/she is talking about

of course this would change the game drasticly, if we had to buy weapons to defend against sabs and such it would definatly change this game

[MAsterp]

this is like the 3rd time someone has suggested this

Ok I read the fact about Defense upgrades and from that point on deemed this post useless. Increasing all the Races with the same defense and strike changes the game in no way or form, however. If you read the post by Rob 1 you will see where that has the ability to change the game. This is meaningless.

you are one person.
you are meaningless! LOL!

So says the 12 year old.

[Travis]

lol.
that was a less mature way of saying that some people like s few of my ideas its only you who doesn't like them at all.

[Prior Of The Ori]

No, definetly not, no way. It would just make the asgard even more invincible (if thats possible)


Oh and 1 more thing the x302's are dissasambled to fit through the chapi
