what he said..your fighters are shiny. But tbh they are pretty squishy and do not last very long. I would trade em over something else any day of the week. And this is coming from another experienced FC who happens to own and actively use the ZT. Don't know who your experienced FC is, but you have had 2 or 3 so far that think something else would work better.


So what sort of aura would you think appropriate? Perhaps one like a geriatric lion maul that effects the player, slaves and allies? Or maybe some sort of Omni aura like the one suggested earlier that doesn't take our aura slot and stacks?

After spending some time looking at the RPW, I think it needs something extra. There's just not that much of a difference between the t20 dread and t21 warship. I'm thinking along the lines of either an energy regen and/or range boost. Or a missile gen builtin similar to the ZT's one, cept maybe Red Photon mirv's or something cool? Anyway, it just needs something to give it head height over a dread.

You can launch 12, they're free and you've an infinite supply so they're usable on Uber runs, if nothing else as a replenishing meat shield. For the record, the alteration was under advice from probably the most experienced FC in the game.

Well if it is going to benefit not just FC a third aug slot should definately be in the picture. Just remember this is the most expensive oly ship and it needs something that will kick ass!

What if every Zeus Throne came with two sort of "specialization" ship upgrade items that a player could use? These would be like the ones found in Free Market, except be built in and stickied to the ZT's hull. Each upgrade item is locked to a class (so FC upgrade takes FC 21).

For example, when you click the Gunner specialization upgrade on the ZT, it gives slightly more speed, damage, rof, and other combat related things. When you click the Fleet Commander upgrade it gives more hull, resists, shield/charge, etc.

This may also lead to the ZT being more versatile with other classes. Why not have ship specializations for all classes?

So hopefully this would solve that problem?

Maybe ZT is not the premier ship for both FC and Gunner. AWC is not the premier ship for both SD and Seer, nor PW for both Zerk and Sniper. What's your point?

Shield +20%, Energy +25%, Shield Recharge +10%, Hull +12.5%, Radar +15%, Range +20%, Elec +5%, Resistances +7.5%, Damage +15%, Visibility +5%

Another thought I have is to scrap the previous idea and instead provide inbuilts to the ship that would be useful for both classes at the same time. This is derived from taking half the stats from both the AoC and AoG.

Stat additions:


This gives the ship a nice balance between offense and defense, making it so neither side is at a disadvantage.

Thoughts?
