I typed this up in #support and atm I cba to retype it so hear it it
[3/16/09 03:22:11pm] <Devlin> I HAVE A RECOMMENDATION
[3/16/09 03:22:11pm] <Devlin> :>
[3/16/09 03:22:25pm] <Devlin> make fleet composition suggestions on the produxction screen
[3/16/09 03:22:51pm] <Devlin> as it is now you have to stare at the stats screen for at least an hour and run various battles through ur head taking into account dmg armor emp resist and most importantly init
[3/16/09 03:22:57pm] <Devlin> and this clearly doesnt work well for new players
[3/16/09 03:23:05pm] <Devlin> as is evident here

[3/16/09 03:23:27pm] <Devlin> the guy has 100 of each ship and 300 of each cr/bs
[3/16/09 03:23:29pm] <Devlin> :S
[3/16/09 03:24:06pm] <Devlin> higlight the important ships for offense in red and defense in green and note what races theyre good against
[3/16/09 03:24:43pm] <Devlin> this would become a lot less work if you guys also stopped changing stats for the sake of changing stats. 32 rounds in and the stats still change drasitcally each round. balance > change
[3/16/09 03:26:36pm] <Devlin> to give an analogy, starcraft doesnt drasticaly change the balance of their races each year out of fear that their players will get bored
[3/16/09 03:26:43pm] <Devlin> instead they built a solid game around balanced races
[3/16/09 03:27:10pm] <Devlin> you dont see them saying oh well our zerg players may grow bored so lets give the zerglings armor closer to the zealots and let's change the dragoon to a melee unit
[3/16/09 03:27:11pm] <Devlin> :S
