  Ship Balance Update  

Updated 6/28/2020

These are simple buffs with the intent of making underused ships/races more useful.

Barracuda - weapon changed from kinetic to chemical
Ryu - energy/chemical shields from .5/.35 to .6/.45
Hercules - chemical attack from 2500 to 5500, total 8000
Lictor - gain RF

Guard suffered arguably the most with the recent LR/RF changes. These changes are intended to encourage a more shield-oriented counter stacking strategy while giving more defensive ability back.

Quartz - attack 2222 to 2444, hull 71110 to 77777
Fluorite - hull 138000 to 138462, chemical shield .35 to .5
Tourmaline - attack 2170 to 3100, hull 38750 to 26350
Ruby - gain RF, chemical shield .3 to .2, hull 41000 to 38900
Garnet - chemical shield .4 to .5
Topaz - weapon changed from missile to energy, shields changed from .5/.2/.35/.35 to .1/.1/.5/.5
Li - kinetic attack from 4000 to 6120, chemical attack 4000 to 6120, total 12240

There are two primary goals:

  • Make flank ships more brittle and easier to kill with offensive stacking
  • Open more opportunities for interesting interactions between LR and RF

    There is also a small handful of generic changes aimed at over-performing ships as well as a rebuilt and redefined large strafez runner.
