Post Gigantic Tortoise
Stats: Like an Os tortoise, t18, 4 augs.

Description: George looks frisky

Build cost: OS tortoise, maybe some new uber commod? If not make OS tortoise roamers drop the commods. BP drops from wherever. Pos perhaps? If it drops in pos make it require 2 pos modules and some other stuff too.

Requires piloting 21.

Edit: It seems that locking something of a certain tech with a different skill level isn't possible. If this is not going to be fixed in the near future perhaps make this require a skill chain obtained after FC 21.

Why does it require piloting 21 if it is tech 18?

If the admins want to keep RC at 18 slaves are limited to tech 18.

If they're going to have buff stats they should be locked to people with p21.

Actually the t21 users who do Olympus have a % chance to lose all their slaves if the server crashes. I say yes.

Locking t18 slaves to t21 skills would be a good idea to create FC oriented end game items, but P21 might not be the best skill, limiting it to FC21 would be a better option to me.

Yet you're complaining about this?

T20 slaves without stasis gens would merely fuck the t20 ship market. Nobody would risk losing 100b in slaves unless they're stupid. There's a good reason for why slaves get two CG rolls.

You're level 20 and either know nothing of the game or happen to be hiding behind that FTP account.

I'm going to assume the latter as no decent ptp should be suggesting RC20 without t20 stasis gens

I've suggested RC20 without stasis gens several times, and once Voomy even said that he liked the idea.

It allows people to have more slots for lower tech slaves, allows people to make some crazy good trade and combat slaves, but with a significant risk becuase if you lose them, you really lose them.

Yeah, I can just imagine... Everyone and their mother has like 50+ EFDN's in storage. imagine having two of those, with monster bank, probs wouldn't die very often, even if they did, just use throwaway gear and you'll be hooting.

If you want to give people more RC slots you can simply increase slave research.

Having an emp behe/DF trade slave would be quite broken. They are cheap ships and easily 2X better than leviathans. I've also computed the raw dps (etc) of a fair few t20 setups and they aren't really better than 4 t18 or lower augmenters.

Now consider the fact that slaves are stupid... and are even more likely to die than normal players.

So effectively it's like making people pay for RadX slaves. Either they're overpowered or useless.
