The Novian Empire (undergoing maintenance)

[Necrontyr1998]

The balancing is still a work in progress, 1.7 balancing was based off SAR ships which I have recently learnt are mostly unbalanced themselves.

[Doogie12]

Use the Ashtic and the Kriken as the standard. The SAR is balanced, just high end of the scale.

[Necrontyr1998]

I thought about that but you understand that there are currently only two ships of four classes included with the Ashtic and the Kriken. The Nove have multiple ships belonging to 11 classes.

[Doogie12]

Yea, but the roles of either of those factions is radically different. The Kriken are short range, high powered, moderately low life. The Ashtic are heavy armor, weak weapon spam. Besides, for balancing purposes you don't need a thousand different variants of each ship you're balancing against.

[Necrontyr1998]

Maybe not, but I prefer to have a wide spread of results. Anyhow, i'll get onto running more tests with the Ashtic and the Kriken.

I'm going to eat my owns words from a while ago, but the SAR ships are actually pretty nicely balanced. The only things that could be considered OP are the Typhoon's SRM missile spam (100 0.10 interceptable missiles? good luck with that...) and the winter king beam, but even these are pretty minor issues.

A ship I made a few days ago but forgot to post:

TD28 - Perspicientia
[Class undetermined]


HP: 500
Speed: 1.5
Turning: 0.75
Accel: 0.05
AI: normal

Armaments:
6x Frequency 3 photon lance
1x Frequency 2 photon lance

[CryoSleep]

Are they balanced yet?

[Necrontyr1998]

Far from it I'm afraid...

[CryoSleep]

Try setting the damage of your frequency 3 photon lance to .50 or .25 damage

[Miram]

why you don't using laser wars stuff to balance you ships
they wanna balanced like mine and Anna ships (I'm don't download they but they seems balanced)

[CryoSleep]

Because the frequency 3 photon lance has a different function (It charges and multiplies it more then it drastically drops)

[Necrontyr1998]

I don't know what you two are on about. The photon lance is just a beam weapon.

[CryoSleep]

I don't explain that good but it's because you added ammunition and RoF which makes it silly.

[Doogie12]

I'd suggest going with the laser wars stuff too. It's okay to have a more powerful system, but be very aware of its abilities and test it meticulously.
