More simple solutions

[FunkOff]

I have a simple idea to several balance issues: tactical missiles travel through shields. Mmls are too weak? Solved. Shields are too strong? Solved. Cybran is underpowered? Solved. Missile subs are useless? Solved. Tmd not nearly as good as shield gen? Solved.

The only possible concern is billy. However if billy is close enough to pass through shields it is close enough to be shot by tmd.

that would make TMLs even more dominating....

More? TMLs are only good for brief periods, it seems, that is, the time after you reach tech 2 and built the TML launcher, and before the enemy has built shields to cover all the important stuff.

That will only give more power to Cybran against everyone but Aeon which is the only faction I have real issues playing against as Cybran. If there is to be an "anti-shield weapon" I don't think it should be easily blocked anyways. I'd say put it on T2 arty but that wouldn't help Cybran at all.

I think the best option would be to go ahead and give each faction their own T3 shield disruptor EXCEPT for Cybran.

For Cybran, the Hoplite should have a toggle button like their T1 mobile AA that allows them to toggle between increased damage versus shields or normal mode.

F or Cybran, the Hoplite should have a toggle button like their T1 mobile AA that allows them to toggle between increased damage versus shields or normal mode.

Heh, that would be useless because of the short range!

That's not a simple solution at all.

How bout just nerf the regen rate like normal people?

The up regen rate or the down regen rate (down being about 4x as much, on average)?

Hoplites have awesome range at 37, and Cybran have mobile stealth and amazing stationary stealth field gen. If you're not using both of those you're not doing it right. I just figure if you give Cybran this advantage earlier than all the other factions they'll have a better chance at T2 compared to their disadvantages against T2 mobile/stationary shield spam.

Hoplites have awesome range at 37,

T2 PD is 50.

Stealth reduces that greatly. Honestly the only problem I ever come across with Cybran is when you have a choke point and a PD creep battle going on. Their PDs are just as good as everyone elses but their shields are crap. You can use stealth and pummel away at their PDs and shields but it's just too easy to spam those shields with all other factions. With emp hoplites, stealth, and PD creep, hell it might even be overpowered lol.
