Yeah, this is a great idea. Stats should be the same across the board if we want the transition to occur smoothly.
Quote:if this idea will work, i propose using david's (clayph) infocards etc to give the four houses, corsairs, outcasts, GRN, GRP, zoners, council, gallic pirates (generic), liberty pirates, rheinland pirates, kusari pirates bretonia pirates, order, nomad (already done and implemented), SCRA (perhaps?), CR (perhaps?) and civilian an aesthetically different supernova (the current one)
I hate to whine, but what about IMG and GMG? I mean, GMG has been playing guerrilla warfare with their bombers since the beginning.

tis a discussion thread and im human D:
so yeah, it prolly can be done too, since the GMG and IMG wont fit under "bretonian house", "kusari house", "rheinland house", "bretonian pirate generic", "rheinland pirate generic", or , "kusari pirate generic".
EDIT: typo fail, fixed -.-
EDIT mk 2: since both are miners, the infocard could be based in a special type of mining gun reverse engineered to be used as a weapon of mass destruction (idea stolen from UT's liandri bots:P)

I don't like the factionalized SN thing because It's getting too complicated.
Supernovas! - reavengitair - 08-21-2009
Im actually FOR more SNs.
Disco needs to be more colorfull!
At least make house SNs...
Supernovas! - MarvinCZ - 08-21-2009
I just thing there's absolutely no need for this and not much gain.
Having the wrong SN will be one more thing people will get bitched about, even if they have the same stats... I don't look forward to that.

Well theres already the nomad one.
And SNs.... I don't see how people will bitch about different pretty colours?
Supernovas! - Andrew_Bonesovich - 08-21-2009
I would like to see more variations of SNAC, but like Marvin posted, it will result in people having OORP SNs.
If not more types of SN, at least change the sound of the current one please. I think its still using an existing sound (I think its the Liberty Magma hammers, but Im not sure, I dont have any Liberty characters). Same thing with the Mini razor. Both are used quite a lot, and should have their unique sounds.
Dont change the stats for sure. It could be hard to balance, even a small difference can mean a lot in this case.
This has my vote but there are drawbacks which you must take into consideration.

Not true. If you see some Rheinlander with Liberty snac, it will be rule violation, and possible sanction material.
Supernovas! - MarvinCZ - 08-22-2009
See? Just as I said. "You have the wrong SN!"
People will bitch about anything.
Nomad SN is something different. Nomads need special weapons without models, because regular weapons (and other equipment) look stupid on Nomad ships.

since there have been quite a few developments, and alot of threads about more weaponry for discovery, would it be wrong to ask for different supernova variants as well, purely for their aesthetic value? discovery, and freelancer itself is a -very- colorful game, with all those projectiles of different colors coming together in fights making rainbows.
including supernovas for major factions isnt far fetched, imo, specially since all they are is the supernova with different projectile + blast effect. they will ALL have the same stats as the current supernova, thus being primarily a boost to the game's aesthetics.

thoughts?
what abou bh?
