| Summary | 0005565: Spirecraft Shield Bearer HP | ||||
| Description | I know that it is still under debate what to do with Spirecraft shield bearers, but I can suggest a "quick fix" for now. Right now, the Spirecraft shield bearer line has an inferior HP to the normal forcefields. For example, the Mk. I spirecraft shield bearer has 14M HP, but the human Mk. I forcefield has 20M HP. It proceeds linearly up the marks from there, meaning each mark up of the Spirecraft falls further and further behind. I would suggest as a balance starting point, give the Spirecraft shield bearer line a notably superior HP to the human forcefield line. This way, it would at least be some incentive to try to use them, despite their non-repairibility. How much more HP is a question I haven't figured out yet, but I know it needs to be more than the human forcefields. | ||||

I'd say a good starting point would be to make their shields not shrink. Since that makes them less durable, find the correct hp value from that. |

Actually, with the changes to Spirecraft Shield Bearer asteroid costs, is should really be Mk. N+1 Spirecraft shield bearer HP >= R * Mk. N regular forcefield HP (for some R > 1 but < 2, and much closer to 1 than 2, like 1.2 or something) You'll notice that the HP disparity is so high not even that always holds with the current HP values. But I would also like to voice support Hearteater's idea, or perhaps a less extreme variation of it, like a minimum forcefield radius. |

I mentioned in the forum something about a 40% minimum radius. Reptites are *very* common, and these ships can be brought on an attack. |
