Buildtime balanced?

from Sins Forums
I just noticed that it takes 68 seconds to build a Capital ship and 22 seconds to build a light frigate. I don't know what that means to you, but in my world that is waaaaay off balance. ;:/

I never troll, what do you mean by that? :(

Im not joking, and please avoiding overdimensional trolling on this forums, I think it is a waste of space & time. ^^

Might it be more motivating to rely more on frigates if you increased Capital ships build time? ;:/ hmm

I don't know about you, but when my worlds are under attack...I don't think "Hmmm, I can wait the minute+ it will take to get a Cap Ship out."

I generally think "CRAP! GET THOSE FRIGATES OUT THERE NOW!"


Outside of combat...might be something to consider, though I don't know if it really is unbalanced. Might be good for a mod.

I do not believe there is an issue with capital ships power vs. frigites. Could you perhaps explain why you believe there is one?

Oh yeah, sry. ^^

It is because light frigates take like 31 seconds to build and Capital ships only take 68 seconds, meaning you only get 2x light frigates at the same time someone else can build a Capital ship.

And I seriously doubt that 2x light frigates match 1x Capital ship. :NOTSURE: hmm...

But then again I doubt that 3x light frigates would make a match for a level 1 Capital ship, or?

Maybe I brought up the wrong numbers, the fact that Capital ships are so limited and expsensive, but things like this do get past beta in some companies, + I was probally high (don´t worry, v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n), so I just thought Id bring it up. ;)
