The main reason is during the game, there was an enemy BC with heavy armor and I do notice the Carrier is made for anti-fighter and anti-unarmored play but not vs heavy-armored enemy ships. Thus, I decide to get the Yamato Gun equivalent for the Carrier so I can actually pack some punch.

However, 75% of the time, I wanted to disable the interceptor rebuilding's auto-cast so it stops eating my energy (75/intereceptor with 40 max and a max energy of 1400 or so) so I can actually shoot this "Yamato Gun" but I couldn't. Thus, it remade my interceptors near-instantly which were useless for the encounter in progress and I couldn't shoot the much needed "Yamato Gun" as I was always too low on energy.
Patch been late for NA, been hammered by work, though many of these things answered ^^

Carrier recived scouts so can answer to more armour build treats, also added hold button to the esort menu part, it's not the best of solutions, but allows to Hold your ship in possition also access the sub menu and switch the auto build as needed.

Planet cracker got nerfed a lil, from 5000 to 4000 start damage

Mothership pollished up, last passive and upgrades are in place now.

Scavanger got buffed on the area of missiles and there fire rate so can fight now, humble begining, night mare finish for armoured targets.

Void have beam modes now, and i think the damage got right now more or less, now i just need to upload it.

Also a friend began work on the triggers for the map, maybe in a month time we have vote for which faction your side pick ( Terran or Protoss for now ) and each faction will start with there own ships but one wanna go with other race ship can do so for some start resources sacreficed. :]

Yes hehe ^^ will be joining in too. I saw had some critic about the Mass Drive damage VS mass armour, i can tweak the number down a lil but not wanna turn the game into a Mass Drive fest either ;)

Also have Warp Prism avilable now, not finished yet but the basic of the ship is set, have 3 standard and 1 own ability, Black Hole, Quantum Jump, Warp Drive, and own ability is warp space storage, allows to carry 1 allied ship inside, so can snatch an near dead ally out of harms way and take it back to the base XD

Last night was fun game :] appolagies though went missing, kinda passed out before the PC :S

changes i consider now to shorten game time
-remove normal cost of ships for the first 10 mins and have lifes as resource ( custom resource ) 5x lifes
-Bit jiggled with the protoss energy upgrades, so even though they have to unlock energy upgrades, they have better energy at start, with a bit
-Dreadnought reactive armour is nerfed now down to +25%

there be more ofcourse ;D

And an brilliant gameplay! ^-^

Haha, i guess need to explane few things thats cloudy =)

First of each Race have it's Own, Unique destructive death.

Terrans - Nuclear Death
by buying reactor upgrades, then nuke and nuke upgrades the chance of a nuclear detonation increases, starts at 0.1 chance and each of these add a +0.1 chance, and incase of the nuke, it makes the detonation much bigger, so late game Terrans can play heroic ( or trollistic ) suicide ram run agents enemies, especially ones that dont know better keep a healthy distance.

Protoss - Void Archon Merge
It's linked to the Energy upgrades as well alike terrans, and chance increases as more and more energy bough, so are the Archons Strenghts, they are a rage entity of the killed protoss crew of your ship, uncontrolled and deadly, as could see they can crack even a dreadnought in a short time notice, or stay around and farm the creep, gain money as long they alive, life caped at 1 min

Zerg - Swarm cloud
It's in a progress as Zergs just got intreduced with the levi, but basicly when a Levi dies, leaves behind a debuff, buff AoE cloud, debuff all non Biological uniots, and buffs all Biological units ( even enemy ones ) also will have a slowing effect soon.

Lifes, for now keep it at 5 lifes, and yes can buy more, but the price tripples each time, and good, or fore seeing players can make a good use of extra lifes, like afford a suicide mission to take out 2 or more enemy at once for a little cost.

You saw the large Gates, was wondering why not used them, they provide free warp jumps, just need to fly through them properly headding for the right direction, zergs will relay on these heavily as they almost warpless ( Have Warp Rift but thats there Ultimate )

If there is a game this saturday i try to bring in some of the frequent SA players and can have some truely nasty mayhem :lol:

  • Spending a life for the other races makes no sense.
  • Eating a Terran with the Leviathan and dying to his death explosion is dumb.
  • Eating everyone else is completely harmless.
  • Leviathan weapons feel like they are fighting with each other to fire.
  • Leviathan not having any form of life armor means you are naked after a large hit. Effective health 101, large health pool without armor might as be a tiny one.
  • Nuke fallout cancels out zerg capapace, your only real defense.
  • Auto target acquisition is annoying to fight all the time, especially when you just ignore everything around you to go after a player in the distance.
  • I'm pretty sure the map could use more asteroids in and around bases so nukes aren't a cheap easy kill.

Just got a new patch up to NA, late indeed for the game but i passed out being totally knackered, been working to much this week and the world did gone blank.

Dieing to the Terran nuclear explosion, will try to work something out for that, as i wanna keep it there but not as fatal, i might reduce the death damage a notch

I likely add armour to the zerg life, but it will be a minimal one, it's have quite a high regen already, if spent properly on regenerations you can get a regen rate of 130 easily ( thats lvl 30 )
