The Holy Draconian Empire - Change Proposal

(Redirected from The Holy Draconian Empire - Ship Change Proposal)

The most intense ship change wish I have is Organic armor for the Organic ship. That would suffice to really distinguish it from the Oberth. I don't need any of the other changes. With regard to redundancy in the ship list only the Mizar strikes me as really redundant as it is now.

[edit] Overview

Recently the race has been taken over by Mattrixx.
So let us pray he listen to the suggestion of many who contributed to this page.

[edit] Ships

This is a list of proposed changes for the next Draconian shippack update. The Draconian need a better ship list to compete with the other races.
They need a bit more distinction (ie variety) between many of their ships to attract players, as "Boring may be a greater sin than Underpowered".
See the discussion page, to look at ideas, or to give your's.

They need a ship with a big cargo, they have no freighter, they can not beam up the stuff laying on planets surface.
They need ways to improve their late game economic like DTMS-N_Fuel_Converter & Alchemy
Most of their tech 6 ships and + have big design flaw, or are missing devices to make them worth building.

[edit] Proposed Added Ship Devices

[edit] Proposed Starting ship Change

Change one of the Balka for a Dreysen (for more cargo room to be able to build GC on planet nearby, mine laying / sweeping and beaming up planets surface goodies).

[edit] Notes

Many change idea came from various peoples in the alt.games.vgaplanets4.
Pegasi Class Cruiser is your size 60, [15] PTT / 500 / AMG / BC and main minelayer
Westfalen Class Dreadnought is your heavy hitter with up to 8 LTLA
Titus Class Dreadnought is your ship with up to 10 size 150
The Fang is you fast moving medium warship, able to tow small to medium ships.
