Well, my loyal small band of merry Gunners, that time has arrived. That time when forking over 1,000,000 credits for AI just to shoot them down, that time where you never got invited to the cool kid's parties... it has gone. Now, we shall have fun as gunners, as Adum intended!
As promised, a little later than expected, so apologies: New Missiles Note: All types come in three sizes, varying their tech level, and their sizes range from 1 to 16.
All will be on test, in Ordnance Command, Lyceum. Bugs:
Stuff that needs feedback:
Other ninja-type buffs / changes:
Production / Factories Factory mechanics are worked out: since gunners are already an expensive class (1 mil for 25 missiles you burn through in minutes) the new missiles are made somewhat differently. (Kinetic or AP Crate, I, II, II) * (1 or 2 or 3) + Nuclear Waste = New missile Crate. e.g. Code: <BASE class="itemconverter"> <INIT> <NAME>Medium MIRV Torpedo Production</NAME> <RARITY>exotic-specialized</RARITY> <DESCRIPTION>Birds pre-prepped and set to launch in a lunch box nano-factory</DESCRIPTION> <COST>500</COST> <WEIGHT>18000</WEIGHT> <SPACE>10</SPACE> <TYPE>none</TYPE> </INIT> <VALUES> <TECHLEVEL>17</TECHLEVEL> <WORKERS>100</WORKERS> <REPLACETYPE>Ammo Crate - Medium Kinetic Type III</REPLACETYPE> <REPLACETYPE2>Nuclear Waste</REPLACETYPE2> <GENERATETYPE>Ammo Crate - Medium MIRV Torpedo</GENERATETYPE> <GENERATECOST>100</GENERATECOST> <GENERATEINTERVAL unit="s">600</GENERATEINTERVAL> <REPLACEQUANTITY>2</REPLACEQUANTITY> <REPLACEQUANTITY2>15000</REPLACEQUANTITY2> </VALUES> </BASE> To cut down on BPs, factories etc, new missile crates will only come in 1 type / missile, giving 8, 12, 15, 20 or 25 missiles, depending on type. So, you'll need the first tier of crate production to produce them, but no other expense or cost. Building the new factories will be a one off cost, and will reflect that.

First.
Ugh. Now I'm forced to choose between playing SS or ME3. Guess I'll be spending my weekend in test. _________________ Blue Dwarf wrote: In space, no one can hear you cha cha cha. ![]() |

Thank you I'm resubbing right now. Anyways, KMWs on gunner? Ew. So far no gunner with KMWs could hurt mine.

When I've worked out the kinks (we're on rough mechanics draft atm) I'll put everything in Ordnance / Lyceum, for free.
The best bit is that this is all working on local nicely, and there's not too much balancing. I'll have to crank out some factories etc, but otherwise it's smooth sailing (the tough bit was getting the hard stuff like MIRVs done). Oh... forgot:

Will we be seeing any changes to the actual Gunner skills this weekend?

I am kinda disappointed that the gunner focus skills are not going to be changed, and are going to be damage type specific.
What content are being added for gunners to utilize all damage types? What damage type are missiles categorized in and how does that play in to ship resistances? _________________ Death to Pirates! http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/2103/mutes.jpg |

However, the new missiles might force me to change my gunner's setup eww _________________ bageese wrote: DUBSTEP NO. MY EARS. BLEED. I'll ban you for that shit. |

Skill changes will take a little longer, as they require both code and extensive balancing. So far, the idea that gunners will MF x2 at around ~10 rather than 20 has been getting favourable press.
The missiles have multiple damage types:
Sorry, but no skill changes this weekend. Don't be disappointed! Be happy, change is coming! |

The only qualm I would have about MF'ing more than 2 is hull. I already have to Aug offensively while FC's can just throw on Caly+'s yet only carry 1 weapon. If the devs are going to have MF 2 at level 10, please give Gunner more hull or limit MF to 2 somehow.

My gunner has 2.5k/2.5k hull and has no fucking room to scoop anything, and this effects my shm's aug setup. Erm, no, not when I use lincins, cuz I can't use both lincins and mining weps at the same time. _________________ bageese wrote: DUBSTEP NO. MY EARS. BLEED. I'll ban you for that shit. |
