Why exactly was the Urqa suqqa vazuks hull nerfed since yesterday?
I see there has been DS/panther discussion/changes, buy why an unannounced nerf to the vazuk?

when building colony blueprints if I build more than one at a time they are wasted and the colony only recognizes one having been built.
Also why cant I see my missile damage? /showdamage dosent work. will there be a /showmissiledamage or something?

The tech 19 sniper ship was changed into HF, makes sense for the LF to have less hull. It should also not be competing with the tech 20 ships, 350 hull is as much as the DS and Panther.

It seems to me that the one that went heavy fighter should have gained hull, rather than the LF loosing it.

Seeing as its seemingly quite rare, has a heat vulnerability, is class restricted, and cant use t20 augs, the vazuk wasn't in competition anyway. I dont see why it cant have the same hull space in return for its heat vuln. Or perhaps just loose the heat vuln and leave the hull, thats an idea as well.

All "bana" ships are vunerable to heat so that cant be changed. Cant give the sniper ship much more hull because of the 4 aug slots and high speed.

Why was the sniper bana ship only changed now? I have remembered people asking for that ever since I joined.
Just curious.

I can see this is going nowhere fast, But:

Jujuso'rka has no heat vulnerability.
Yes, it has no resist to it either, but thats still an example, the Vazuk could share a similar no resist, no vuln characteristic.
And as far as i can recall from last seeing one in item, the sniper bana also had a smaller heat vuln than the vazuk, or maybe didnt have a vulnerability at all.

Simply making the resist 0 is a possibility. I will have a look and see what the balance sheet thinks of it.



It's been discussed many times but nothing has ever been fully decided and no one has really took the time to deal with it. I added it to our dev meeting notes since someone brought it up, that pretty much forced us to make a decision and I made the changes instantly.

Voomy, I suggest that you guys look into the damage from other missiles as well. My large AP missiles with full gunner skills and MF cap lasers giving the gunner vulnerability nerf can kill a bigger green boss with four missiles. Icepicks and Forgones take three missile hits or so, instead of the approximately 9 missiles the non-shield auged ones used to take. If I'm keeping up with all of the changes properly, I believe you (devs in general) have said AIs will have their damage and shields reduced after Saturday's rebalance? In that case missiles will be extremely overpowered.

Of course, missiles need some kind of beef to make up for the collision code, but a huge damage beef will make them unbalanced in some situations. Check out my (hopefully) reasonable suggestion in the suggestions forums

This is the last time you will see this. I am asking for a nerf to myself. I took on 3 pants members at once including a monkey. One volley of missiles took well over half of the monkeys sheilds and I killed a dreadnought in a matter of seconds. That shouldnt be possible.

All missiles will already get their damage reduced. I believe they where getting the same extra damage bonus as Ais, this should be fixed for the next patch iirc.
I have also nerfed the Drop missiles a bit extra, they will still hurt but not as much.

I changed the Vazuk to 0 heat resist which is a improvement of 20%.

when will jeff be back? i really want to get base gear out of the way

He should be back sometime today. We will have a meeting tomorrow, base gear will be one of the topics.
