[Beta] Fighter Bugs and Initial Feedback

Yes. It is quite a versatile weapon, but that comes with a price.

 

After re-checking Phasors and what you've said, I think the space increase was not for the best. Kept at 30 base space.

As for cost I think it's warranted, especially because of the stun ability and the fact that you can equip both AP and SP in Phasors. Also Graviton is 60 space while Plasma is 150, so 100 seems alright.

 

I think we could increase their space and cost a little. After all, a 25 to 35 difference in damage is quite a lot. So, I propose we change 70 cost and 40 space to 100 cost and 50 space. Phasors have 100 cost and 35 space, by the way. Wutzite has double accuracy penalties, so they are more effective at close range.

Fighters require 60 space at the moment. That's 13% space of a battleship and 27% space of a cruiser. I suggest we leave it and then update if we think is required. We have to remember tha fighters are very easily countered with PD weapons, so they may not be as menacing as we may think. That said, if you think we should increase the space requirement let me know.

Note: Fighter bays cost decreases with miniaturization, but space requirements do not, the same for bomber bays.

 

They have reduced cost with miniaturization (only cost, not space). Cost and space shouldn't change between classes. If it does, let me know.

\Edit: I stand corrected. Cost does change with class, but space does not.

 

We could resolve item 2. The others will have to wait for post-release.
