Title: Imperials - A nerfed SSD?
Post by: SWSF Hoppus on August 18, 2017, 07:56:34 AM
Hey Guys

Was wondering how open Imperial players would be to 'fudging the numbers' on the SSD a bit to make it more affordable, less extreme?

I haven't worked out specs, but just to spit ball..

* And not, this will adjust prices across the board again :) so if you wanna do this tell me asap. *

No more than 25% of its weapons can be used to down warheads. May not enter atmosphere. Only one may be in service at any time (per faction). Prefab garrison bases do not pay maintenance unless deployed (paid at the moment of deployment, prorated for the remaining days in month).

I personally wasn't planning on taking an SSD but my hot take is this:

With the current pricing scheme you will likely never see an SSD or at least not for a year+ due to the finances required to get it and the starting income, etc etc etc.

I don't care either way but I just think that is important to notate.

Go big or get rid of it entirely. Even under the old pricing scheme... the amount of time it would take to save up for and then build the SSD was too great, which was why I decided to bite the bullet and just go all in by getting one upfront. Seeing as how I'm the only player who intended to use one from the beginning, it's current form is just way to expensive given our new start up conditions. I would rather see no SSD than a nerfed SSD. Do it right or don't do it at all, you know?

All right, unless Eids is passionate for it, we'll proceed as.

I am of Hales perspective.  True SSD or None.
