Add some ships that are locked for Fc slave ship only. How cool would it be to have some UZ slaves. Add some tech 18 UZ ships, a cheetah and a leopard. I guess they wouldn't have to be FC locked...

UZ is finished. They won't add new stuff into UZ.

Thats what they said before they added Armada Aftermath.


But still, needs more originality although Mini Rhino slaves would be cute for a specific class.

FC is being left a bet behind due to the t18 max ship/aug set-up so adding some FC locked ships is a decent idea but maybe some FC locked+slave locked augs might be a better path.

The same way Engineer has Engineer augs and then Drone Ops augs FC could have Fleet Commander augs and Slave augs. This would be a nice linear increase in FC slave stats while at the same time not breaking the t18 ship class for everyone else.

Pretty sure when they added them low tech maus Augs, that covered the FC aug beef..

The only good one among them is Arson which is way more of an ShM slave aug.

FC should get Slave and Fighter Ops Augmenters.

I suggested this along time ago along with missile ops, but it didn't take.

Would make FC a little bit OP if they got Slave Ops augs. I'd just build my FC a Panther or a Battle Sphere just to crank out that kind of dps, seeing how FC's do very little dps from their own ships in the place.

As for missiles, if people abused Large AP Porp+'s and complained about the changed, they'd get a Battle Sphere and laugh at JeffBobbo and JeffL.

That Gunner knows who he is ^.

Well, my guessing is that a Slave Ops aug would have a rather poor boost to stats to allow for Slave Ops(I'd assume something like extra slave mastery skill's stats applied to slaves).

A FC doesn't normally do much DPS from its own ship, compared to say, a sniper. And a FC doesn't have to be in one place like an engineer needs to sit near his drones.

So, Battle Sphere FC + Shm = Leveling.


For the Gunner, on past discussions (heated, discussions) a Gunner named Russell (Llessur) expressed major hate towards AEM and Bobbo for changing Gunner to where it is advantageous to aug for DPS like a sniper or a zerk would have to aug for. His Gunner alts, were Porpoise+ Gunners without even modded weapons. Their sole source of DPS was Large AP Missiles.

And for the past 3-4 years, he leveled alts, quite quickly, with the same Porpoise+ he made back in like 2008. To roughly level 1200 which then he changed the class and gave the alt a T20 ship.


Now he can't level them anymore because he needs to aug for dps and he refuses!

It would be a lot easier just to make a ship upgrade that is slave only. unable to undock without a controlbot equipped.

Perhaps it could let you use T20 ships with tweaked stats?

Well simple way to make fc better

Just let the aura from ur main ship affect ur capital ship slaves

Does not really help those who use Selen/Scrupling type slaves.

I like the idea of a slave locked aug set. Like it was said earlier, would allow t17/18 slave ships to become more powerful without breaking the tech for players.

I suggested FC 21 locked t18 ships a couple of times, but it wasn't possible to put a tab of a higher level than the ship (or something).

A possible solution: FC 21 allows FCs to train a new skill specifically for these new slaves.

I'm not sure if this was changed anyway.

It'd make lower level slaves more powerful, unless you also apply some new skill to them... in which case you may as well throw in new ships as well.

In short let's see fighter ops, new ships and new augs...
