now then this game is slowly getting to the point where there are more FA's which spoiling the game since the big bad stations are now not feared, and basicly for the guy in the station it's a press feed! cause of the mass amount of wepaonry and the 20 supplys that are sitting beneth him,
anyway
what is the press values where changed combat wise, so that smaller ships give more press than those bigger ships desighned for heavy duttey stuff...
what you think?

o and this effect will only happen if that player is abouve the rank of the ship he wants to fly, so new players wont get extra bonus press or somit
and it would only be in effect for scouts dessys crusers engy's sups etc not dreads or stations

1. Someone please move it to suggestions
2. Make smaller ships not as good as big ships and THEN encourage flying smaller ships as high ranked players

Yes, this needs to be moved to suggestions.
TheBold, as far as I've ever known about the game. Pres gain actually becomes More difficult as you gain rank. It is already implemented that say for example, a dread that kills a destroyer gains less pres than vice versa: a dessy that kills a dread. You gain more flying the dessy due to the fact that your damaging and possibly killing a more prestigious ship than your own. This is also the cause of the recent trend of all the ships in FA attacking the first Station they see, be as it's basically open season on prestige in that case. A skilled destroyer pilot can milk a LOT of prestige off of a station without getting touched.
The other common trend caused by this present system of pres gain is the overall larger number of active k'luth players. You think they all became k'luth and THEN joined k'luth? The majority of em did what I call the GothThug maneuver and just joined that side for faster pres gain. Be as dessys are the most common ship used in combat and they can match firepower with cruisers from either UGTO or ICC, and can sink a dread from either faction quite easily, again, it's a prestige factory. If a lot of the newbies actually took a close look at the prestige system at current, you wouldn't blame them for flying the smallest ship with the best balance of firepower, which in my opinion would have to go to the k'luth Shell, with the Drainer a close second due to it's elf beam.
Again, couldn't blame em if they did it. Basically, there are a lot of people out in the game community that started around the same time as I did, or ever AFTER I did, and have more pres for a few simple reasons. 1 is possibly less resources lost, which I have gained quite a bit of. The more likely reason is they play k'luth either in MV or FA on a regular bases, and I RARELY ever fly k'luth in either theatre. Sucks, but it's the way it is. They take advantage of the system, and really it's the smartest thing to do if you want to gain pres as fast as possible. I hope I'm not giving away too many trade secrets here.

I think, maybe the smaller hulls should be made more versatile, and then you could probably have some kind of rank system with weapons; ie SABOTs need... over captain or something. Just a thought, although it'd probably take too much programming.
