Cencid	Posted - 2003.08.01 02:52:00 - [1] I would like to make a point that other's have hinted upon, but no one has really nailed. Trix's suggestions would fix another game flaw as well as the economy. Many have stated that Frigates will eventually become extinct. Under the current economy, they are correct. There is no tactical advantage of using Frigs over Cruisers. In time, there will be no finacial advantage. When everyone can afford the big bad ship they want, you will not see any small ships in the game. If it is expensive to deploy big ships, then you would not use your BS for mining. Properly balanced, it would be more profitable to use Frigs and Indis. You would also not use big ships for long range recon or pleasure cruising. It is not a perfect fix since people could still mass resorces and bring a BS per person into a fight rather than being forced to use a balance of ships, but at least Frigs would not disapear from the game completely. Also, no one has mentioned the time it would take for maintanance to be done. I would expect that a BS would be in upkeep for at least a couple days out of every month, for example. These are things that WILL need to be fixed, but we also have to be careful on how realistic we make things. If the game is just like RL, then why do we play?
