[High Priority] [Dev notice] Carrier weapons

[Omicron]

Geb is a carrier and the dev gold announcment is too ambiguous to tell.

Why the colony ship if there's a literal Zoner 'carrier'

I had a momentary fantasy that maybe pulling some of the 21 turrets of neutrality off of the Zoner Colony Ship might drive players towards the more militarized groups in the omicrons (Order/Core) for harvesting nomad remains

Geb would be even more broken than it already is if it received these changes.

Geb is a carrier and the dev gold announcment is too ambiguous to tell.

the geb stats and size (and the name on the info card) show its a battlecruiser and should not be affected.

is Geb included?
[15:44:36] Justin Hopkins: No, the Geb is a battlecruiser.
[15:45:38] Michał Golański: its RP is a carrier. Dev gold statement is too ambiguous to tell which ships are affected
[15:45:59] Justin Hopkins: *CENSORED*
[15:46:02] Justin Hopkins: Use your brain.
[15:46:04] Justin Hopkins: It's a balance change.
[15:46:08] Justin Hopkins: They're balanced as battlecruisers.
[15:46:28] Michał Golański: do you have to answer with such hostility to such a simple query?

That's official dev statement. At least that for everyone who wants to know for sure.

It was clarified before you posted that, but thanks.

[Omicron]

You edited it after I posted it. All I wanted is to have gold clarification without starting a fight.

It doesn't take too much of a brain to figure out that if a gameplay balance change involves all Carriers and only Carriers, then it means all Class 17 and only Class 17 ships. The Geb is a Class 15 ship, and is an assault battlecruiser according to its current infocard either way.

EDIT: Anyone can check FLStat any time to figure out which class number belongs to which shipclass. For example the only Class 17 ships in the game are the five ships listed in the recently edited OP, plus the Atlantis, which, as it was used for testing, already received this change.
