| Summary | 0000677: AI Laser guardians seem to be a little OP | ||||
| Description | Looking at bonuses of AI laser guardian it seems that they are supposed to murder 2/3rd of standard triangle ships. It seems a bit to good. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I would add that laser guardians have very high armor. Of the base triangle ships, only mk 2 and 3 fighters can deal more than the 5% minimum damage to them, and laser guardians counter the fighters pretty hard. I find it necessary to research and build flagships or siege starships just to deal with the laser guardians. |

|
its actually payback for player laser turrets being OP for years. |

Thanks for the note about the armor, we'll keep that in mind. That is one part we're particularly not used to balancing. FWIW, Siege MkIs will be unlocked from the start in 3.718 and onward, so you don't have to spend knowledge on them; though the metal+crystal is significant of course. |

I think we can safely mark this one resolved. Siege starships are now free (in knowledge), and starships in general are an important part of the new core arsenal. |
