leonov bonus

i was reading through the forums the last few days and an idea struck me that just might help out the lower maps. i think that the best part of the original leo lowers bonus should be brought back. for those that don't know, when the bonus was originally given to the leo it effected the lasers and shields on drones as well. then people complained that they couldn't hunt noobs for quests because of all the super leo's in the lowers, so they changed it to the way it is now. NEWS FLASH: there are almost no noobs in the lowers anymore.

maybe the super leo is needed to protect the lowers so that noobs have a chance to like the game before they start figuring up the cost to be that strong. the best part, in my opinion, is that this fire power drew even some of the strongest players to defend the lowers which is exactly what is needed.

 

OH ---- NO!!!!!!

 

Then everybody will use the super leo .. and a semi-ufe will beat an ufe easily ...

 

And then UFEs will become...I dunno.....the Head of BP with their double-stats double damage double boosted Leo with Sep hitting 300k+ total combos.

 

On home maps....Yea why not.
This is a really good idea and it will force the raiding parties to actually work for their padded kill ratio.
Good idea, I like it.

 

I dunno, there is something about a leonov hitting 102k on x4 alone that doesn't sound appealing to me. That on top of the 3030 rockets which can hit about 35k in a leonov as well as rsb and that the leonov is the hardest ship in the game to lock onto.

There is just something that I can't put my finger on that makes me think it's not a good idea ... wait, its the fact that it's not a good idea and makes the leonov insanely overpowered.

 

i'm just glad that the bonus only counts on lower maps from your own company, if it would work on enemy lower maps aswell, ...need i say moar?

 

yes it would be overpowered, but in a very limited area. right now the lowers is the place where ufe's hunt and noobs die till they quit because the ufe in their company are too busy shooting people for "leaching" cubes. ufe's are already just about too powerful, and many of them still want more firepower. i'm just saying give them what they want while also giving something to new players at the same time. this would both give new players a supped up ship that would still be easy pickings untill past fe status, but also get the lower maps filled with ships. however, ufe would now have something to worry about when deciding to hunt in the lowers. "do i really want to risk getting popped by a ship barely bigger than a peanut just so i can try to one shot a couple of noobs?"

 

Yep, this is a good idea....

Enjoy the game.
