Gameplay / Re: SHIPS Balance Questions and Concerns v1.2
« on: May 19, 2013, 09:14:45 am »
Quick question before moving on to the Spire: Have we heard anything about the Junker's turn speed being intentional with this patch?
On to the new Spire. She seems to do well on 3v3/4v4 maps where her allies can tie up foes before her later arrival and mass devastation. Unfortunately, you rarely ever get the opportunity to trinity against a decent adversary. I know as a captain, if I see a Spire I normally crack an evil smile and crack the poor ship in a second. Even moreso now with the angle change to the starboard gun, which extends the rear blind spot slightly more to the right which compounds with the turn reduction on the vessel.
She's definitely much more of a threat, albeit glass by all cards played if attacked by a proper loadout.

General Discussion / Re: Fellow Ex-Gunners Of Icarus Lend Me Your Ears!

I like the idea of giving the gunner some niche utilities as stated above. Just to further discussion, I thought of the flare ammo mentioned and thought "Hmm what if we made a handheld flare gun equippable/usable outside of the gun (without the damge and fire stacks, obviously). Something like that might be the change we're looking for; a choice between a tool that can save a gun slot, or a 3rd ammo type. It also forces engineers to make a choice in their gunner slot as utility or destruction.

Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Adding colors to the lobby chat for regional, team, and crew, adding team VC

That would be incredibly helpful. I've been running into a lot of players that do not have mics but are a chatty bunch, and I have faith the devs could implement this with the correct discretion. Unfortunately most of what they say is never seen.
I would even recommend adding a sound queue when someone sends a message in team or crew chat; sometimes what these guys say is vital!
