What do you expect?

GrimGriz

Do you expect ship balance to be like it is in Jumpgate, where the level 34 ship is balanced for fleet combat with the level 26 ship and level 18 ship.

Or...

Do you expect them to go with a stricter level = better model (ala standard MMO), and a level 34 ship could probably easily best a level 18 ship and level 26 ship at the same time?

-Remember, what do you expect, not what do you think they should do.

I'd expect something similar to Jumpgate, where there is a fairly low cut-off point, beyond which can be on about equal footing with other people (Level 22, I think?). There will be more options beyond that, of course, but hopefully not gamebreakers.

Normally I'd think each ship has it's role... and to a point I still do. But recent decisions ND has made has made me worry that within ship classes (miners/fighters/haulers) it will be standard mmo style balancing.

I dont know,

Scorch has asked questions that pertain to ship ballance between lvls. So i think theres a battle in the office between the standard MMO model and the ship ballance model.

How much the uber pve ship would influence how battles go in the pvp world i dont know. But quests to aquire the god shield is basic in the pve world. And ship ballance is the holy grail in the pvp world.

The only thing i can think of is that when you enter, click on a tag that designates you a pvper, you cannot take any god items. The numbers of pvers that enter the pvp world will probably be enough to unbalance that enviroment anyways. Were talking thousands of pvers right? We have (pvpers) that have disrespected the pver game style, and we know what we say here carries over into the game. To not expect some smack down from the pvers is folly. I can see a battle station built in a gatway sector for the pvers to rip pvp space unending.

I am realy looking forward to seeing Awen in pvp space. Along with a hundred or so of her cronies. Well see if she brings her god shield or not.

There has also been mention of cross factional ships too and that will add some spice to the mix. All good stuff I am sure.
