Voted other:
shieldbusters (guns) should be completly removed and replaced by projectil based EMP weapons. For fighter class we actualy have paralyzer, gunboats and caps should have something similar and balanced (a.k.a slow as torpedo).
Edit: and those projectiles should be completly revorked
remove % bonuse and penelities
add efectivity
example:
EMP missile A = 10k dmg against graviton shilds but only 500 against positron or molecular
EMP missile B = 10k dmg against positron shield but only 500 against graviton and molecular shield
etc. etc.
so you'll have chance 1:3 you'll meet someone with shield weak against EMP you have mounted.

Yes, but don't forget to add more shields... for example, Transport Adv. shiled exists only in Gravion version.

' Wrote:Yes, but don't forget to add more shields... for example, Transport Adv. shiled exists only in Gravion version.There are Adv. Transport Molecular/Positron shields and they are sold at:
- Planet Junyo, Shikoku
- Planet Los Angeles, California
- Planet Nuremberg, Munich
- South Shields Refinery, Newcastle

However, no one bothers to use anything but adv. graviton because, surprise, surprise, the weapons used to drop said shields are...pulse!

Shield Busters, in no doubt, should deal equal damage to all shields as to make people use the shields of their faction.

People would end up using whatever shield works best against their primary enemy's guns, which may be their faction's shield, or it may not.

Perhaps. But still any diversity is better than no diversity.

In most cases, I think it is...but you could possibly even have different ships for fighting different enemies...:rolleyes:
Thinking about it, tho...shield busters are the guns that make shields go "poof", right?...so, if they work equally well against all shield types, and the extra 20% from hullbusters...not gonna make an awful lot of difference (~240 per gun to ~290 per gun? not a great gain...)

Example. Tizona= 800 damage. Tizona versus all except graviton = 960
That is 160 damage increase. So you have for example 2 tizonas, that's 320 more damage per shot. That is -not- little.
Imagine if I would ask one of my favoured weps to be upped 160 in damage, I'd be mocked and called a biased fool.
