Pimp my Mothership! SG style

[chrisblue]

Hey so had an idea.

To make the Mothership a little more customizable.
Add bonuses. Like extra attack or better defense weapons.
At each ascension add a new customization that looks and makes the mothership more powerful.
That means having a picture of the mothership on the profile. Tho im not a programmer so im not sure how this can be done.
the motherships are just so boring right now. Wish there was more to them.

and how would you tackle those MS's owned by Unknowns that are already huge? as by your idea they'd get maximum oppotunity for the extra bonus's

I like the concept of making motherships more fun / useful although the bonus you suggest seem the same as the current tech upgrades with an added picture. I'm not sure what you could add to them without changing the entire way they work, the tech upgrades are pretty lame though, i would prefer it if instead of getting an additional % of hangers it would be better if you split it up into volley/shields and have it so you can strengthen one by weakening the other, for example consider as power usage you can divert power away from your shields to make your main weapon stronger.

Or even as a second idea add another mothership section called power supply. You need a certain amount of power to use your weapons/shields for example you need 1bil of power to fire your weapon which has a strength of 1bil, if you have 2bil strengh weapon and only 1 bil of power your weapon can only do 1 bil of damage as you do not have the power to fire all your volleys.

Bad idea. Helps those already ahead of other people in the game. Like said above, those with fully ascended accounts, with 3-4 tril (sure the biggest is 5.5tril or around there) motherships start to pull away from everyone else as all they have left to do is really upgrade Raw Up and upgrade Their mothership.

This is interesting.

would be a nice feature but i think the high rank players would probably rage about it

Search my previous suggestions, I suggested MS reactor capacity to power shields/weapons over a year ago

[Sadistic Angel]

so you agree its a good idea

[MEZZANINE]

so you agree its a good idea

Yep along with many others, but unless you can personally bring it to admins attention it wont happen as admin dont read this 'for admin' section

[Acronon]

An idea I suggested and still believe in today for the MS was the problem to its capability to just jump to any space, all MS's should have a travel time and you should have to coordinate the MS arrival with your strike team through the gate or risk your MS facing the strike and defense on the person's home planet without back up.

Power is a nice suggestion, makes it more realistic too. Maybe it could be also subject to sabotage, however the already huge mothership accounts won't like it, as it'd render their motherships unusable until they buy the relevant slots for power. I'm assuming your suggestion is to use the power thing only for weapons/shields, not for fleets too. In that case, it wouldn't be much of a loss for huge accounts - they got a high attack/def anyway.
