Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,
Last weekend I suddenly found myself with an idle afternoon and before I knew it I was knee deep in writing a set of ship stats, something I haven't done in almost 7 years.
Needless to say, once started, I felt I needed to finish them. Today, I present you:
stats. Please note that although Appoco gave me permission to upload my stats to the beta server, that doesn't mean he's agreed to use them for round 50, nor that I've formally offered them up.
My design criteria were as follows:
- No 0 loss. Hated it last round.
- Semi-MT. Only a few T2s for every race. Ended up having to make only 1 exception to my default of 2: one for each roiding fleet.
- Stealable tertiary roiding fleet for Zik or Etd (ended up as Etd). Just because I thought it would be fun.
- NO 0 LOSS! Seriously!
- Wider spread of costs. Last round, a Bs was only 4-7 times as expensive as a Fi. That used to be 30 times.
- Plenty of solo opportunities.
I'm pretty happy with the targetting, I don't expect I'll be making more than minor changes to them, if that. Effs are totally up for grabs though. I've made a first attempt at them, but since I only just added them to the beta server, I haven't yet had the chance to do calcs.
Comments and criticisms are more than welcome! I'll be idling in #beta for the next couple of weeks, but I'd prefer more substantial comments in this thread, for the sake of keeping the conversation open to everyone who might be interested in it.
