Hey folks,
before i write my ass off here look at this:

if u don't want to go there i will extend it here a bit anyway now:
As i really liked the new changes on the first look, I saw some things that could be changed. 1st as i written i in the UO Forum thread I really suggest a viable option then a goliath. Something that can beat it in a 1v1 but can loose but has also very diffrent characteristics (sounds like a wonderland huh?). One idea is to do i more powerful vengeance design with low hp but even more speed and dmg. (like 13 lasers and 12 gens). The other idea is to make a tank in PvP that have more HP then a goliath (maybe 350k-500k varies from the other values). Like 12 lasers 10 or 7 (350-420-500k HP) and always with 15 gens and really low speed (big boy with other values).
The glass cannon idea is totally explained on the UO Forum.
Greetings Optimus and thumbs up to UO Team.
Edit: I hope i can help with ideas and i dont know why or wether i am but i at least feel im really into balancing stuff. So if u just want an idea, opinion or change suggest PM me or read my posts.
And again ahead: Happy new year to all and good night!
Edit Edit: I will do some testing today (so tonight and and this morning) and will tell u my opinion then.
I tested all i could in the last 40 min and i see no bugs. All changed desings work fine and evrything is stable so far.
Direct suggestion: Set the values for the lightning desgin to 11 gens and 13 lasers, Hp and bonus stays. Should be a fine first alternative for goliath. Would be nice i think if u can just change it fast (I dont know if this is so easy as i think :P) and I will play some hours global with it and I will tell u if i got complaints about it and what i think.
Edit: I recognized that with this changes, kick gots kinda useless. It dont disturbs me even if i have it but i think the incentive to buy it is low cause other designs (like sentinel or veteran) do basically the same. So if u would give kick something that isnt P2W and isnt too bad that ppl buy it. Something like 7% shield and 3%dmg or 5% shield 4%dmg(or 6/7% raw dmg :D) u know what i mean? And i think thats my personal opinion but i hear some other people saying this too: could u change the visuals of kick? For example into saturn or Goal or referee. But for many people this green looks kinda too colorful :P. But this is the last thing you can do to make the server better its just a tiny little question of personal prefernce i think. Also I tested now all designs i had that got changed and all are fine. I think the stats of the goliath desings are all fine just the variants of the little ships need some buffs i think.
Good New Years Eve all. Greetings Optimus.
Last Edit: Little bug noticed that sometimes, when u change from (for example kick) a goli design to another goli design (for me it was from sentinel to kick) your configs get deleted like u re changeing from goli to veng. Nothin gamebraking and not urgent, just want to say.
Also did some PvP with the lightning with it new stats but until now its pretty useless as the speed bonus is really minor and the other stats are all worse (compared to bigboy wich is a pretty decent but not yet perfect ship, and the goli).
Good years eve all and Happy Birthday player.elite. I've noticed for the first time today night that u have b-day :@. Anyway I wish all but especially u a good new year.
Greetings Optimus
Last last edit: I try to specialize the bug and if found that our configs only get lost when u change from kick to other goli or to kick from other goli. The bug is in the kick design.
