It's not the amount of weapons themselves, it's just their usefullness. If we added more new weapons and defense weapons, it would just repeat the process of everybody only buying the top weapon and only buying the next most powerful as 'sab fodder.' Nothing would be accomplished at all other than the headaches caused of trying to come up with new names for the weapons. Maybe if there was some way of making weaker weapons useful it would solve this problem...

As for motherships, I thought / was hoping this idea (if and when it's implemented) was to work differently than simply buying a weapon... so I don't see how that applies here.

I give this one a stern "no"

First off the names of the motherships would be pretty easy. Alsao arent u tired of having the same thing cause i am and i would like to see many new motherships that u can buy i mean it would be alsume but i guess u dont want that. All im saying is why cant we just get maybe one or two new weapons for each race or so.

As I said, motherships are a topic of discussion for... well, another topic. I am very much in favor of that particular addition to the game. I wouldn't want to see them added as something you simply 'buy' and never manage again or it WILL be just like adding another weapon.

And i'm going to repeat myself, I guess. "why cant we just get maybe one or two new weapons for each race or so" The only variable in weapons is strength, and because of that, any weapon addition is only going to serve as a the new "standard" for what to buy. Lets say we add a weapon that has twice the power and twice the cost of the top weapon, and is also twice as hard to sabotage. Everybody will buy that one instead. There would be no purpose other than lessening the amount of weapons the average player has.

If you are proposing we add weaker weapons, than I already dealt with that as well. First we have to make them useful somehow.

lol People are just voting yes for no reason, i'm guessing.

I have yet to see any value in making new weapons for the game. Any one of you who has voted yes, please tell me why.

This'd probably do better in the Suggestions section.

I haven't voted - I don't think it's worth the effort putting them in, however there would be a bonus. You said yourself, what would happen is you would lessen the amount of weapons you hold, but with that, you need fewer troops. You'd suffer fewer casualties and have smaller repair fees which could be helpful in making attacking more profitable again, but this will only be short lived, unless you perpetually create newer, bigger weapons, which then leaves the armoury page fairly cluttered with 'useless' weaps. Overall, I'd say no, but there are benefits.

The only reason someone would want new weapons is because they havent figured out how to play the game. Keep the nobs ignorant. I think the Tauri should have nail guns.

One day, one day untrained mercs will contribute to income *hopes*. I bought 1000 just in case :P, besides, they add to my army size and make me scary... NOT

Back on topic, I'm for new weapons, and I don't have to ask, there will be new weapons... ON ASCENSION SERVER :D

As for in the main game, no, let it serve as something that will make people work harder to ascending :)

As soon as you build an idiot proof system, somebody else builds a better idiot.

If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does move, and then kill it.
