i was bored so i thought i would post this wolfy will be along soon to say its been suggested before no doubt

any i had an idea of support ships there kinda like motherships
they can only have 25% of your motherships strenght,so if you had a mothership with 1k weapons & sheilds (with the slots filled) it would give a gould

MotherShip Action : 4,980,000,000
( 1,990,000,000 + 2,990,000,000 )

now a support ship can only be 25% of that power so it would be

support ship action: 1,245,000,000
(497,500,000 +747,500,000 )

now you can only have a max of 3 support ships
which can be loaned to officers and or alliance members (tis why i called them support ships) would be helpful when your massing a player with a kick ass mothership


anyway post any thoghts on it

great idea, :)
sgw needs some kind of fleets of ships or something, this would be good.

That sounds like a cool idea, even if it would destroy some more of the games balance. My point being that if you have an incredibly strong mothership, then loan the support ships to your officers or allies, then their power could theoretically increase dramatically. Would the amount of support ships loanable be limited, or would a player be able to get 3 support ships from one friend, 3 from another, 3 from yet another person, and so on?

Other then all the possible balance issues, I think that your idea is cool. BTW, would they be purchased with normal Naq, or some other combination of goods? Would the glory & reputation points lend something to this? 8)

yeah the idea is cool

i think if you could send an supportship, you should be able to send it and then get a buttobn to retrieve it so it travels home again....

and i think they should be able to be damaged wioth reasonable amounts even from low level atackes otherwise it would be to profitable to help smaller players

and then something like half a day travel time both ways, so it will take a day to get it from 1 guy you helped to anopther you want to help, so it won't be to profitable to send it around

I'm actually surprised YOU came up with this idea JIX... Of all people...

Anyways I like this idea nonetheless.. :wink:

It's a way to finally bring more variety to ships options. An a good way to bring Ha'taks back into the spotlight. 8)

lol! :-D

While fleets of ships have been suggested before - nothing like this has - so I will not utter my now infamous words, which have been the pronunciation of doom on so many a suggestion thread!

I am opposed to the idea of having fleets of ships (unless maybe they introduce the need to crew them), but I quite like your idea JIXy - especially since they would be limited in number and power.

so can the game put them in?

ultimately, Forum will decide - but I know he is very busy at the moment (as always) - and please do not pester him to add it - it will only be counter-productive.

As for the idea itself - while I like it - it probably still needs some more detailed work anyway - as well as a greater explanation as to the benefits it brings to the game.

Personally I think the 25% limit degrades motherships everywhere... I mean unless you haven't seen the show I think 15% would be much more accurate. :?

Yeah it would be nice, but what would be the price scales?
