R72 shipstats

Anyone fancy doing the r72 shipstats?

Oversight will be limited this round to promote diversity in AD/DC between rounds. Mostly the main targetting scheme will need to be approved.

Stats have to be ready and approve before R71 EORC starts

Re: R72 shipstats

Has someone like Agar3s done the stats yet?

Someone who has a tactical brain like his would surely put a quality set together.

Re: R72 shipstats

Just want to chip in and say I think this set rocks.
The extremely OP and broken emp of the past rounds is gone. Emp is stoppable atm, that's good.
Nice holes in every race, options for fakes all around due to shipcosts being in line and teamwork is rewarded.

imo it's the best set in ages. (altough some things can be improved, some rough edges etc).

I would need access to beta/speedgame to do emp and tweaking for the set.

I would aim for emp eff at 160% t1 and about 120% t2

It is a 5 race set with some nice options
The set is offensive in nature and alot of roiding options both for the individual and teaming up

How do you expect this not to be a massively xan heavy round?
Do you intend xan to be much more vulnerable to emp than other races?

I am not sure that is a very good answer. A lot of that depends on the emp values and is difficult to tell without them being in a calc. However as cat and etd cant really concentrate their fleets much more than xan presumably they will be very open to both xan fleets. So you are saying that xan is not op because it can roid everything, but cant be roided by everything?

I also am not wild about all emp being same initiative, it seems lazy, but in practice it is not nearly as bad as when you have killships of the same initiative. The outcome is simply many more occasions where both sides fully emp each other. It does take a tactical dimension out of the stats which I dont particularly like.

Overall I guess my biggest gripe is that they seem to me to be rather boring. They dont have any interesting idea to them (I know this is rather a big ask). Nothing to make me think 'oh I want to play next round if there is a set like this'.

Re: R72 shipstats

You will never have everyone agree that they are an amazing set! They are certainly more balanced than many as there are several options that are working well (whether this is due to no cloak or low emp eff I am not sure).

However they are by no means perfect. No one has really tried bs this round so difficult to say if they are an option or not - and if someone was using it this would have a major knock on effect on cr which is quite good precisely because there is so little etd bs around. Co seems to be seriously underpowered; even app as an alliance that has gone all co without much in the way of any def ships is having trouble landing with them. This in turn implies that at least one of fr/fr/de is op in comparison to co - particularly fi with the spider firing before the beetle.

Yeah, it would be nice if a set of ship stats was like a puzzle that you can always put together perfectly, but it doesn't really work like that.

Instead, you get a whole bunch of puzzle pieces that don't really fit together. You try your best to make them into a nice picture anyway, but invariably, when you're 80% done, you will always be left with a bunch of oddly shaped holes that you can't fit any of your leftover puzzle pieces into. So you grab a hammer to force them in the best you can, just to get it finished. But you can't go back and say "that bit is clearly totally wrong, why didn't you pick a different piece?", because that was the best piece you had left, and if you'd picked another, some other piece would fit worse.

Unless you're talking about very abstract concepts, like how offensive or defensive a set is or whether 0-loss defense exists or not, you can't exactly cut and paste a set of stats together from the good bits of other sets.

Re: R72 shipstats

In terms of doing a really offensive set, maybe another round of ST?

Or we could actually try to get a full MT round going, been a long time since we had this. Might end up more defensive though

Re: R72 shipstats

I wonder whether a full mt set is possible now without being way too defensive. I guess you might be able to do it by having lots of ships with inconvenient t2 (where there is another ship covering it already) or really weak t2 (like where you have a ship t1 fi t2 de).

While st may be more in line with the times I can't say I like it as it always seems too formulaic. But then I have never liked ST and could use the excuse to skip a round.

Re: R72 shipstats

So, question. I've never done stats, so I might be way off, but would it be possible to make a stat set like:

Ter: Heavy armor, expensive, fr/de/cr/bs only, no small ships
Cath: Light to Heavy, all ships have T3=all but with a low effective rate,
Xan: All light, cheap, fast. Fi/co/fr/de only, low armor to go with cheap price
Zik: steal only, heavy expensive ships like ter, t3=all like cath, but again low effective rate.
Etd: skips the round.

I like this idea (of course I would, right?) But have no idea how you all make stats, but maybe this general guideline is a good start, if not in time for round 72, perhaps a future round.

P.S. I accept that it may be a stupid idea and don't mind if you tell me to leave stats ideas to others

Re: R72 shipstats

Alliances cannot survive without Fi/Co to deal with Fi/Co. Ter often suffers because their Fi/Co are not great. Losing that metaclass entirely will hurt a lot more. Losing Cr/Bs is much less harmful, though, Xan already often doesn't build any and performs fine.

T3 * is too strong, regardless of the effs.

Re: R72 shipstats

I'm clearly not a member

Local statsmafia member please enlighten us!

However given I have not been told or asked anything, and that there were two options put forward I presume mine have been rejected in favour of Paisley's. It would be nice to get some feedback as to the reasoning behind the decision.

Local statsmafia member please enlighten me!

Re: R72 shipstats

Guess I'm also not a member, then.

In fact, it looks like the only person who's actually in the know is Butcher. And like a true mafioso, he wanted to show us he knew something, but didn't actually want to give up his position of privilege by sharing it with the rest of us.

I would just like to say (on behalf of all of us, I'm sure) we're mightily impressed down here.

Re: R72 shipstats

Ty for some of the changes. I guess these are being announced later as the stats to be. Are you likely to be making more changes? How worth commenting is it?

Same init emp sux. Cath co looks op. Xan fi,fr look op damage wise. The only reasonable def vs all seems to be emp. Overall it's a complete opposite of this rounds stone, scissors, paper principle.

Re: R72 shipstats

Also, the last times we had Xan roiding xan, this led to boring rounds that lost traction after 500 ticks. This set has 2 fleetclasses in Xan that do exactly this.

Re: R72 shipstats

My suggestion on these:

Investor to CR T1 FR normal/cloak/ doesnt matter
Broker to CR t1 BS Emp

Shadow: Raise Init to 6
(You may have to adjust other inits to avoid same init firing but this change helps so much)

Barghest: Change from Emp



Still very a offensive set, but these changes help reign xan back in a little bit

Re: R72 shipstats

I made a first pass through paisley's set with my red marker. Biggest changes:

They are now a less offensive, but still offensive
Cat got a ship to prefire BS
ETD got a ship to prefire xan FR
Removed the zik De ship
Swapped a few T1/T2's around
AC/DC was balanced out (roughly)

Later this week i'll give them a 2nd pass over. Planned things:

ETD de pod cost doesn't match the other ETD de ships
Look at the SK's (too strong?)
Recheck the stats and even out the last kinks (fine tune ac/dc)
Nerf xan a tad
Give zik a small boost defensively
check out the zik fr fleet (too strong?)
Check emp
Does the locust t2 need a boost? (Weaker by design, but too weak?)

In the meantime all feedback is welcome

Re: R72 shipstats

My suggestions shouldnt be taken as advice what to fix or not fix, as i think your initial approach when "giving feedbacks" on stats this round is completely wrong.



But.
Yeah, nice that xan FR is nerphed, atleast now it does look like an option i would not opt for.
Vindicator defence planets will be very nice to have, atleast if they were to be run like this i would tell our support planets to go for ETD and only build vindicators.
Lets say you decide to go for xan, and only build FI and FR, 25% value in Phantom, 25 in banshee etc.. and the defence planet of whatever alliance put all their stuff into vindicators, how are you gonna land attacks? Xan FR is stopped dead i guess, so even if you 3 fleeted your stuff one defence planet would force a recall on your real attack fleet wether its FI or FR, before starting to add in the base fleet of the planet getting attacked/defended.
Im sure all your matrises look nice, but how would you predict this would play out in a real round?

Re: R72 shipstats

Zik fr prefires the vindicator, so no issue if you teamup. and it can still solo the 4 other races.

And i believe every race has a ship that fires at fi and fr. So faking with xan was always gonna be hard. You can still fake with pods though. It's something different. Xan doesn't always need to have the double fake advantage over everyone. Makes em too strong in most rounds.

This could be said for any setup and def ship in the game so irrelevant point. If you have 50% value in FR and someone has 100% value in anti FR then high chance you ain't landing.

My suggestion would be that you take anti FI off the vindicator then it wouldn't be a complete can crusher. Fi could have a slight cost increase to hamper it in turn.

Paisley I like these stats

My only concern is Terran BS and how scarabs perform against it
