[UI] Dome formation upgrade

I feel like the dome formation is heavily UP (UnderPowered), while still costing 150,000. The stats as they are now are not convincing me (and along with me I'm sure many others) to buy it. Downsides are just WAY to big and as such it is used by barely anybody. The ring formation would now always we a much better option.


Current Dome:
+30% shield value
+0,5% shield repair per second (no max)
-25% cooldown for rockets and rocketlaunhcers
-50% laserdamage
-50% speed


New Dome:
+1,5% shield repair per second (no max)
-25% cooldown for rockets and rocketlaunhcers
-25% speed
-15% HP


More efficient for slow moving ships, who want to sacrifice speed for tankiness.

 

Then isn't 30% HP reduction too much?Maybe 10-15%.Otherwise you are dead if you get mothed.

 

I see, but what we want to prevent is people switching to drill or ring formation without losing anything (as the speed reduction is removed). Thx for your feedback though, I set it at 15%.

 

I miss the old Dome (100% more HST and rocket damage.)...

I still don't want to pay 150K Uri for a drone formation, which don't fulfill a clear, useful role.

This don't sound nice.

The "bonus damage" for rockets will never compensate this awful mantras. Even if your enemy use Spectrum, you won't take Dome.

The new Dome would be a more offensive Diamond formation. You loose 25% speed for having 0,5% more shield per second and having around 33% more rocket damage. This isn't strong, because the rocket damage represents only a small percentage of your total damage (therefore Drill is OP, because the laser damage is much more important than the rocket damage)

 

From where is speed reduction removed?I don't understand.

He edited his post,he set it so that the new Dome will reduce your HP by 15%.

 

If you lose 30% hp, and you switch to another formation, you do NOT instantly get it back, however if you lose 25% speed with a formation, and then you switch to another formation, you will instantly get your regular speed back. There would be no downsides (apart from not being able to switch to only a few formations).

It is designed for ships with more HP, (Citadel, Solace, Hercules boost, Saturn), to tank damage caused by NPC's, or players when used on CBS with high shield config.

 

in my opnion:
Could have a way of increasing the positive and negative bonuses of training:
-__________________________I_____________________+

Current Dome:
+30% shield value
+0,5% shield repair per second (no max)
-25% cooldown for rockets and rocketlaunhcers
-50% laserdamage
-50% speed

New Dome:
+15%/60% shield value
+0,25/1% shield repair per second (no max)
-12,5/50% cooldown for rockets and rocketlaunhcers
-25/100% laserdamage
-25/100% speed

 

Could be possible, but I doubt people are willing to give up 25% of their laserdamage and speed for just 15% shield. They would be way better of with ring or heart. 12,5% rocketcooldown is also really low. What would be the use of this formation?
