Cat's only problem is the lack of ship loss so...
There is nothing to fear when landing on them or def from them. Now the question is what can be done about it?

How about something else other than ship destruction to make people think twice about landing. I was thinking today about what can possibly work...

When a cat's ship EMPs it's target ship how about with the freezing it "shuts down enemy ship's systems." In doing so causing a delay in return time.

This delay could be something like 1 tick. Now that doesn't seem like a whole lot, but it does fit into the theme of the race, and can open up new strategies involving fcing that could make an attacker think twice. For example, a person lands on said planet involving defense from a cat. X-amt. of ships are frozen and shut down. The fleet is then forced to stay at the planet for 1 tick. After tick fleet returns home as usual.

Now anything can be organized involving that landing fleet in that 1 tick time, and can make people think twice when landing against cat defense instead of thinking that the result doesn't matter since cat ships don't kill.

Re: Cat's only problem is the lack of ship loss so...
So, if even 1 ship out of tens of thousands are frozen, the fleet is forced to hang around and make all the others far more vulnerable to a fleetcatch?

I dont think that's a good idea. Some threshold where it kicks in, however...

Re: Cat's only problem is the lack of ship loss so...
Yeah I figured something like only ships that are frozen are left behind while the others go home normally, but I wasn't sure how this would work.

It's just an idea to be tampered with hehe...

"Terran's only problem is that their attack power is alot worse than other races"
"Xan's problem is that they have little to no armour!"

etc. I see nothing wrong with cath right now.

Re: Cat's only problem is the lack of ship loss so...
Give them a ****ing death star and be done with it.



(or listen to numerous threads about how Cath is inherently broken and should be merged into the other races (jer), or re-do the scoring system (Heartless), or just do as Jester says)


Your call.
