Hm, wasp boost ... still think "light" missiles should have a role change, and ill be testing the item dupe =3 REVIVES! YAY! Interesting missile costs changes (i go back to lights being different operation topic again) hm... missiles may be more popular now

fascinating patch
AND THE BC IS AWESOMENLY HUGE!!!!!!!
i think destroyers should increase size by 20% to make em even more scary as fully upgraded ones will hit 1K, and why do destroyers only increase in 50 while chompers which are kinda smaller are 100? destroyer v destroyer comes down to who gets 2 bombardments off first

very happy with the changes to wraith EMP, now combat will mean more than one landed emp shot. i still believe the nanite transfer requires a % of total hull heal per second rather than a set number, wraiths and corvettes heal too quickly early game, where as decreasing the numbers make chompers and destroyers not get much of a use out of the heal at all.

Uh destroyers do not need a buff, they're seriously the best ship in the game right now.

20% isnt a buff, it actually is a nerf, it makes destroyers easier to hit and a little thing it makes them harder to menuever through astroids

Woah, awesome update list, that must make it much more balanced now for both small ships and cruiser, not sure about the size thou, haven't tried it out yet, as for nanite, - it's already pretty imba, don't need to increase it's healing potential by making it % of hull

should make it 2-5% heal per second, this would make it better late game as lasers become more powerful, and would make wraiths nanite at no point of the game imba. Large ships have larger hit boxes, and should benefit MORE from nanite due to their slow speed and damage intake. The issue here is nanite being way over powered early game with wraiths and corvettes, if you use it on a destroyer late game as hope has pointed out in another thread it is not op and does not do much of anything. This method would increase effectiveness of the ships its needed on (destroyers are too slow and vulnerable 1 on 1 with a bc and can easilly be boosted upon, tractor beamed, and killed, even with this heal buff it is still very easy to do.

300 hull 3% is 3hull per second (is that not less than 20?) standard health on a wraith, fully upgraded is 700 hull 3% of that is 21 hull per second (1 hull greater than its current rate) with lasers fully upgraded a wraith having regeneration is not an issue and can be easilly killed. By the time hull is maxed the nanite transfer will have lost its effectiveness.
fully upgraded chomper 1500 hull 3% is 45 hull per second

I dont see how this will make things worse, again the issue is early game small ships that become gods, not late game ships that cant die. a low % number heal per second is smarter than a hull per second system when you have such a huge variety of ships that range from 300 hull to around 1800.

also before you argue 45 hull per second is stupid and over powered id like to point out that penta burst alone fully upgraded puts out over 130 damage per second. mix that in with broadsides and your measly 45 hull per second regeneration becomes shut down very easilly.

except its strangly easier to hit wraiths then corvettes
