Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
No, but this round there is genuine strategy flexibility. There are short term strategies and long term ones. Most alliances seem to have ignored this...so are moaning.
You can make each strat work with the right race distribution. I welcome unconventional stats like this over boring ones put forward or ones from previous rounds because at least there's something for everyone. These are a lot more "old school" if you like.
Only short sighted morons dont see this.

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
These stats were better in round 61 honestly, the changes to them seem rushed, out of place and very questionable. While there are multiple strategies available, there is a big imbalance between them.
Both the Phantom and Clipper changes, making them prefire on Co and Cr respectively, are at the top of the list of bad changes. Prefire should only be when firing down (Clipper r61 for example) and the fact that you need to covert op pods in another race to make those two classes work is not a good way of doing things.

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
Honestly I am more annoyed with the eff's, they made this round not fun, the fact that you have a handful of ships with under 300 D/C while keeping A/C basically the same as its always been. While having a few select ships that have decently high D/C makes this set stupid.
Also to Echo was Pat was saying having lower eta ships pre-firing makes the that class significantly weaker, while still not allowing the other class attack. I also have a problem because jintoa and I talked before the stats were final about the thought of cov ops for attack fleets and he told me that he looked into the that and nerfed all of the "possible" outcomes so that it was less appealing except i see a handful of caths with co pods, xan's with fi pods and etd's with cr or bs pods. All of which are good covop attack classes.
All of this and i havent even brought up Zik and how you butchered the race with these AWFUL effs. I can't wait for this bloody round to be over so we can go back to normal stats.

You mean the "normal" stats of yours that are so f'ing boring. Seriously, jog on.
Oh, and 4 ziks in the top 14 doesn't suggest the race is unplayable. In fact, that's more than recent memory from any round. You probably picked the wrong start as an ally or an individual, which isn't a shock judging by your past attempts at making stats.
Regarding the effs, these are far better than you, the stat makers, that have been making Xan more optimal round on round because you don't understand cloak, while reducing effs of other races in comparison.

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
Its pt450 there's no reason to look at top planets. 10 of those planets wont be anywhere near the top planet come pt1177. This set of stats is designed to allow nub bashing and that's about it. Its a known fact Krypton that you hate Value play, which is fine however this set of stats only benifits attacking people you know wont get def, since every fleet except cath has super easy covers and this round, which everyone says is very offensive is actually very defensive.

In fact the top 10% of planets there are 13 ziks, of which the stats have 17% zik's, so I'd say that its well within the margin.

Wow, clearly you know nothing about me. Every round I play for value. Unless I have very little time. I just believe there should be multiple viable strategies. Not sending everyone down the same path which is your forte.

Also regarding this part of your statement, every round it's a benefit to attack people you know won't get defence!
It's actually possible to land every race quite easily solo this round bar Zik, which is nothing new.
When the alliance deals and fort avoidances begin to expire we will be able to truly judge these stats - not now.

You can't really use absolute numbers and percentages interchangeably like that, Tia. Zik is actually represented at the top slightly above average: 16.7% of all planets are Zik, 24% of the top 50 are Zik and 20% of top 100.
Zik is doing alright because both the ships that have good efficiencies are the most important ones: Ravagers for offense and Clipper for defense. The Clipper actually has the highest D/C and highest A/C+D/C combined of all ships.

Zik seem to be doing fine. Numbers in posts above me, but just want to add that Ultores has 1 Zikonian and we make out a decent portion of T100, so take this into account when you are doing your calculations.

Based on my own experince in RainbowS, and the discussion with various other HCs prior to tick start, yes, most of the community in question DISLIKED the stats.
Everyone who joined #beta after that also seemed to dislike them.
Now how am i gonna prove this? Should we need ot put up a poll everytime you ask stupid questions?

In your defence i have not landed a single attack this round.
Maybe im just in a alliance atm wich attacks a target they cant land all the time, but if the stats were infact offensive i would expected to atleast have a land 1 out 20 times.

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
The stats aren't the best set we ever played. But they are offensive in a way that you can actually land on some def, and repay the losses with the roids you gain. Damage done is so low, and hence this is possible. (I've landed attacks this round, which in a normal round, with normal D/C I wouldn't have).

If you're upset someone calls you out every time you back up your point with bad arguments, then you're going to (continue to) have a bad time. Your constant appeals to popularity are not credible, but that is not the central problem. The central problem is the appeal to popularity. "Most people believe X, so X is true" is bad reasoning. If you think the stats are bad, then tell us what is bad about them, not who agrees with you.

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
Thinking about these stats aren't so bad. My only concern is that CO is so dependent on covoping pods.
But I wonder what would happen if we had D/Cs nerfed in a average "crap" set of stats from previous rounds. I consider it was a good idea to make round more ofensive.

OT - yeah I thought these stats looked crap at first but as the round progresses im actually enjoying them!
people moan round after round that stats are crap/the same and want some changes. well we got something different in weird ass inits ect... and once again people are still moaning. yes some ships are more OP then others but name a round where that hasn't happened no matter how many changes got made pre round.
basically people should either put up or shut up, don't like stats then propose something that isn't completely retarded for a set, make a wild suggestion like paisley did on trying out not having stealers die. people want to get out of the stats rut, only players can do that with crazy ideas

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
everyone plays the same stats, complaining probably means they aint happy with their choice, be that of them or their ally doesn't make it PA's fault or stat makers fault it makes it your own dumb fault.
pointing out that the people you speak to on irc all seem to have this issue only reiiterates the fact you're a moron and so are your pals
so good fkn day sir

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
I don't understand the moaning about stats. We're all using the same ones. Don't like a race? Pick a different one. We're all in the same boat, and frankly, even given perfect stats, nubs would still crash into my def ships like nubs.

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
I'll be frank ... no one likes having their attack fleets get defence that fires before their fleet does (non emp) and players hate losing value.
these arent a good set for this.
attack with co and what do you know there is xan fi def
attack with frig and there is sylph def
attack with cr and there is clipper def
I think these stats arent that great but are better than key previous round.
statmakers ..... get the finger out before the playerbase gets bored.

You can get around all of these combos though which is why i think they are a lot better than what we have had.

I think these stats arent that great but are better than key previous round.
statmakers ..... get the finger out before the playerbase gets bored.

The worst is when one of these is cloak and on the attackers side there is not even a EMP ship to try to balance.
Sylph is not a problem for two reasons because they are hard to fake, so usually one will only have one fleet available, and they are always at the risk of dying to fake fi.
Clippers are an annoyance between sylphs and phantoms.
If there wasn't a problem to nerf D/Cs, I would prefer to have a EMP Co to fire FI with an eff of 100% or even below than to have to rely on covoping to make CO a viable strategy.

Ziks would seem to be playable despite this. p3n has 5 ter, 11 cat (scanners and def planets), 2 etd, 13 zik, and 23 xan. Our top 10 on score in ally are 3 xans 7 ziks!

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
Only because of clipper, which is a defense ship. Which ill admit is a good ship however outside of the de/cr classes(which most people are using) zik are awful. Ravager isn't the worst as a def ship but zik have horrible attacks co is covered with phantoms and fr is covered with sylph or judge if you solo. It was said before that the best combos are ones made with cov op pods. Co attack class only works if you use beetles alongside ter/zik. FR is a def only class as it has no answer to sylph and since viper got the big Co nerf you cant even use vipers to help the fr team. Zik BS is useable but there arent enough caths going bs yet for it to be viable. And zik Cr is awful. So over all zik is a hard target to hit if you are using de or Cr otherwise zik is just another easy target that can get rock-paper-scissors def and win.

Imo FR is ok as atking class. It is covered by sylph, but hulls 1 def is hardly fakeable, so each terran can cover one inc usually. Furthermore, sylph is fragily against cutlass and phantom, so the defense either cover for FI (which this round is not that easy task) or will risk losing sylphs.
Co on the other hand cant land Phantom defense. And each xan can stop 3 incs alone. Furthermore, CO can't be faked easily. Unbalanced.

You are aware that p3n is playing a fr strat and so far making a reasonable fist of it? Sure it has its disadvantages but it is not yet proving to be a disaster. I certainly remember p3n having made worse choices in the past!

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
BowS was also opting for a FR heavy strat.
Maybe its not that good looking for attack, but the large number of ETDs in the univers surely is making them a lot better.

Why?!?
Why is a large number of ETD making FR better?
They have one of the best anti FR ships, if not the best.

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
From my experience p3n is using Xan Cr equally with zik/xan fr.

Zik and Xan have the best anti-DE. Xan has the best anti-Fi.

[13:50] <player15> everyone calling stats retarded
----------
this are just a few of the comments ive seen on IRC this round, and i actualy cba to go look through all the millions of lines of logs in my drive atm, but this is what ive heard.
Maybe all the people who kept saying these stats are not bad hang out in other channels than i do(who can blame em eh).
Maybe you can prove me wrong with providing evidence that there is a big group of players who has a diffrent opinion than what ive gathered so far?

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
What about using same stats next round with some modifications?

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
You dont want some variety? Considering these are modified from a set only a couple of rounds ago im getting bored with them
I see the benefit of rerunning stats but would prefer it were not back to back.

I do like the sound of doing stats to run for two-three rounds at a time, but im not sure wether this is the right set to start with.

My inclination if wanting to rerun sets would be to have two (or three or whatever) and go turn about. Have one stats set and run for multiple times back to back would not be good for the game. Yes I agree that it means the set can be slowly refined and made better and better but simply there are bound to be some people who don't like that set and run it multiple times in a row and they may simply give up. The game cant afford to be losing players for such a reason. This would also give longer for a fine tuning process on each set as the stats ppl would have a whole round to work out what might be best changed.

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
Both options sound fine to me. The stats contribute very little to keeping PA 'fresh' these days. We're running out of interesting things to do with them, and thus they stay very samey from round to round.

Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
Really? I find that this "obsession" with changing stats each round is leading to weirder and weirder sets. Certainly, it would be extremely difficult to guess what each ship does (or even was) from one round to the next without a careful study of the stats.
