Right. Done deal.

Ramming - A way to shake fruits out of a tree. Higher levels would make more fruit fall from larger trees. At lv5, even the fruits of the biggest trees would easily fall down.

Why not just allow the Charge that we already have to be used on trees and achieve the same effect? That way, we don't need to have another move.

Colonizing any epic world will make that group instantly allied with you. Thats EVERYONE in the pertaining group, even sworn enemies.

Colonizing all {15} will make you instantly win the galactic stage.

I'm not sure how I'd feel about this, especially since you aren't really supposed to "win" galactic stage. Do you mean just automatically getting all 10 master badges?

Counter - No recharge. Instead, it activates when attacked. If an enemy latches onto you, this lets you throw that creature against another creature doing damage on both of them. Otherwise, its a way to defend versus just about every kind of attack, sending that attack back at the enemy. Only patriots and herbivores can have this.

That seems like it would make patriots and herbivores completely unbeatable. If it has no recharge and activates upon being attacked, no other creature would be able to get an attack in.

Mercenary - These are somewhat akin to the prosperity forces, but on a more neutral tone. They are the most neutral group in existance, only caring about their own survival. Their special is Assimulator node. This means that they may use any technology that exists in the ships allied with their main ship.

Tactician - Somewhat like the scientist, but focusses solely on battle fundamentals. His great desire is to learn every battle fundamental in existance, choosing missions that help to further his understanding of combat. Special technology is ship sensors which lets him analyze the composition of ships in enemy and allied fleets.

Logistician - Logistics or exploration, but not to be confused with the explore option. This person seeks to travel and explore. His ultimate goal is to seek and find all the artefacts and rare areas throughout the galaxy. Special technology is celestial sensors which lets him see which planet systems have special treasures, and where battles are occuring presently.

The Mercenary's power seems overpowered (having access to multiple powers is probably going to be better than just having one power) and the Tactician's power seems useless (since composition of ships in fleets doesn't really matter that much now). Also, I'm not sure how useful knowing where battles are taking place would be, since the game alerts you to any battles you'd need to know about.

The counter attack isnt exactly reliable. You have to time it just right to use it. It would give only only, like, a 1/2 second to execute it, barely enough time if you have good reflexes.

The second question, yes, that is the case. But not at all 10. Just the master badge for your group.

As for ramming... There is a rishing technique in the game along with the ramming. it makes sense, thus, that this move is seperate.

Next, the mercenary. They rely on allies to get their advantage. Its useless alone, and can only potentially get them... well, the limit of allied ships with them.

This is offset by the fact of how hard it is to get allies in the first place. More than likely, you could probably only muster 2 or 3 allies at best.... and not necerarily those with good powers either. So it seems reasonable.

lastly, the tactician thing ... I mean it would let you see the systems used on those enemy/allied ships. It would give you a strategic knowledge bonus over your enemies. You would know their systems.... they would not know yours.

.... somehow, even if this was unanamous, the devs would not make this expansion pack...

Please confirm these suspicions.

I dislike this, and it is WAY too complex. it'll never be implemented, I'm sure of it.

What's the point of adding new archtypes...



By the way...


*beats Joural with stupid stick.*

(I borrowed it...)

... no comment. Most my ideas are confusing at best.

What does the expansion name even mean?

More social options.

present score: +17

Pretty sure a dervish is a poor Muslim or something.

There is no point in having archetypes, perhaps. But... I cannot and will not see anything wrong with this.

Things do not need reasons to be good. However... I suspect the votes will go AGAINST this succeeding. I am always cursed that way... *sigh* even on great ideas.

If you refuse out of choice to see anything wrong with your ideas, then there is no discussion to be had, and this thread should be locked.

And things do need an explanation of why they are a good idea, you can't go around saying "just because"

Most of the suggested archetypes and abilities are either redundant or add an unnecessary dimension to the game. Some of the abilities even mirror each other, such as tail swipe and counter. You should polish off a lot of your suggestions again, so they aren't overpowered/overcomplicated/useless.

I apove

We need new Archetypes

Witch kinda means new missions

Edited countering. Also, I may edit this if I feel inclined to add something I think would be very interesting.

... dratted. now this gets a bump.
