Currently UGTO are the faction which is just between Kluths and ICC, having medium defense and medium offense abilities (I am just saying what they are currently supposed to be not what they are)
Flux wave was already taken out once and I think it is time to put it aside again, but the UGTO needs an advantage and I think their advantage should be speed, because they already are supposed to be the faction with the best drives (we all know who currently manufactures the best drives)
Well my suggestion is the following:
Make AFE the far best drive (acceleration difference to AME about the same as AME to IE, same for energy production) and UGTO only
A new jumpdrive: AFJD (Atomic Fusion Jump Drive) (UGTO only)
Less recharge time and higher speed than AMJD, but also more expensive
Special item 1: Speed booster: Increases speed by 10 gu/s (even more than highest possible speed, but if it is more than the possible ammount it will drop below that after about 5 secs)(UGTO only)
Special beam: Flux Beam (why not, killing the hostile drives makes your ship faster as well  )(UGTO only of course)

i thought one of ICCs advantages was suppose to be speed/maneuverbility?

Kluth: Hit 'n' Run
UGTO: Balance
ICC: Defensiv and slow
I hope, the fact are so again...

Slow doesnt work in the game. Speed is what keeps you alive.

na im cool im not gonna give up my special faction tech for speed.and then kluth and icc will have there special tech.no no no...but what i would give up a little speed if the polarized our super armor and that polarization let us flux to our hearts content.cause in my eyeys i think that the ugto scientist that invented flux waves woulda been smart enough to devise a way to protect themselves from their own weapons.

wasnt PFE Ugto's Best drive????
btw: Wasnt Ugto supposed to be something like the empire?
you know, we are the Bad guys, ICC are the Rebels and kluth are the annoying dudes from the neigborhood.
So I say Give the evil guys a evil weapon...
may bee a overtuned tractor beam to keep those ac's and dessys in pounding range....

I wanted to suggest that as Special item 2 at first, but this again just makes people angry when they get pushed or pulled into planets

1. antimatter converts into PURE energy when used, its a 100% E=MC2 conversion , no fusion will match it
2.UGTO have alot of good tech its just they have alot of inexperienced pilots
3.UGTO has some of the best fleet managment , just the worst tactics i'v seen and they organise to capture systems with small groups

1. Not going to argue "real" science, too many ppl debate over that stuff that we can only theorize about. (And supposedly prove but not get it working )
2. Explain to me good tech: flux wave wastes your teammates, flux beam only works on ICC when all their shields are down, and they, being able to rotate those, is very hard to break through in small numbers which leads to the one other major problem of being UGTO... we have very few players. Yes, every faction has inexperienced players... K'luth don't have very many while the human factions tend to have a LOT more. Most UGTO ships are bottom of the barrel too, AC has more weapon and special slots than the TC, Bomber dread has tengadgillion beams compared to the bomber cruiser (which is a joke... only 1 armor) or command dread. Assault dread has 1 more beam and 3 more light weapon slots than the EAD, in exchange for a special slot. (Notice how I'm not comparing kluth ships... there is no comparision )
3. Explain the difference between 'fleet managment' and 'tactics' please, they seem one and the same to me. If bad tactics include capping systems in small groups, refer back to number 2, we have very few players. Hopefully that might change sometime soon...
The only way UGTO wins anything is by numbers or tactics, and we are short on both. Any change such as geting rid of flux wave in exchange for speed, etc. would be a welcome change. (I especially like that uber tractor idea, Josef would be in heaven  )

ooooooooooooooooo just so much i need to bable about here.
I have been in ICC.
I can say UGTO has more fleet cordination and better all around cohision then ICC. Also UGTO has the most expirenced pilots in the game (Exempting luth that is.)
As for a role Jack nailed ours on its head, we are underpowered and outnumbered, so Bring it on!
