SHIPS Balance Questions and Concerns v1.2

<< < (14/20) > >>

Captain Smollett:
I'm going to spend a lot of time with the good ol' Spire this week to wrap my head around what it needs since it feels like it could still use a tad more love. 

My current line of thinking is with NikolaiLev in that it would definitely benefit from faster turning (like in pre 1.2) and a bit more acceleration.

I also think it wouldn't hurt to turn the right gun forward an additional 5 degrees to give it a slightly easier time making the trifecta so that more light guns are viable in the right weapon slot.

Since the Spire is so incredibly fragile, I don't think any of these changes would unbalance the game, and could hopefully start creeping the Spire to the point where people would start being scared to go against one rather than thinking about the easy point on the board they usually provide.

Arthem White:
Also, the Spire should get a bonus for ramming directly downwards. Because it would look awesome.

sorry but that destinction should ALWAYS bellong to the squid, for without it, it is absolutely NOTHING.

The squid's strait line speed and acceleration is more than enough to make it worth while. It doesn't need to be the fastest at turning, but it is a nice bonus. I don't think I am the only one who finds the squid a bit squirrely.

Queso:
I still find the lack of an effective close range all around weapon or disabling weapon the biggest issue. Flames used to serve that role quite well till they stopped being able to disable guns at all.
