[UI] A new kind of ship similar to Leonov on Upper maps?

So this has been a hot topic for newbie players and Ultra Elites alike, but have you ever thinked of making the leonov a credit ship instead of making it a uri one?

Leonov's aren't really useless especially on the big servers, but most of the time people choose goliaths, vengeance ships instead of Leonov, you know why? they are bulkier, more laser and generator slot (goliath) and much faster and agile (vengeance) and has designs to help them get the advantage in farming and pvp battle (noob vs noob)

Leonov is designed in the early games because it deals double damage to rockets, and with chevron, demon drone design, and rocket fusion, add up with seprom, it deals more significant damage when using the PLT-3030 and deals more damage than an Ultra Elite's x1 (or so i thought in the improving system in the game...?)

Leonov either be stucked forever in lower maps, or make a new Home map ship on uppers for noobs to not struggle being killed on uppers everytime a bully arrives, in addition, goliaths are useful for farming npcs without the worry of being killed fast (depending on their equipments)
But what if there was a new Home map ship on upper maps, that deals significant damage as a goliath, that should have atleast the same benefits on leonov when at lowers, but are less tougher than the goliath? like atleast around 200k max hp (not adding up the skill Ship hull)
but are slower (being slow is a disadvantage, especially if you go far off the port, you cant save yourself by jumping) around 300 speed only (same as goliath but with less generator slot)

Generator slots arent doubled in the process of having benefits on their home maps, only shields and lasers equipped within the ship have the benefits.

Standard When on home maps (x-5, x-6, x-7, x-8)
HP: 100k HP 200k HP
Speed: 260 300
Cargo: 750 1500

Laser slots: maybe around 8 (if you calculate it, goli and this new home map ship on uppers should have the same damage, but the upgrade level on the lasers shouldn't be affected by the double benefits of being in its home map, if it is, its the best ship to go kill players lurking around map)

Generator slots: around 10 should be fine (yes i know, double shield generator but goliaths still pretty much got the advantage)

Extra slot : 1, not much people equip the auto ammo buyer cpu, they just need to buy enough for the amount to last. like 1 million x1 is fine, 50k plt-2026 and 10k eco would last around a few days if you farm hard, or few weeks if u dont farm much.

and please no more blue aura on the ship! better if you put up the company's color coding instead! green for vru, blue for eic, and red for mmo! wouldn't that be cool?

the availability of the ship should be only on shop, depending on the demand, they would eventually put it up on auction for others to buy, if i were them ill just put it on shop for around 30k uridium so other players would have the access to buy it in a fair price.

The ship can go to other maps, but they lose the home map benefit if they leave the map to go to another enemy map on uppers, or if they go to lowers.

 

No. Want a better ship after the Leo? Get a Goliath.

The Leo used to be a credit ship I believe, until they gave it the Home Advantage.

FYI, Leo deals more damage than Vengeance.

 

You want to get away from the goliath, get a vengeance. You have more firepower for killing stuff in uppers and when the heat is on, have half a chance a getting away. So many ships out there now, and a couple more already coming out. New players need time to get the FE equipment down. The Vengeance gives them something to build on. The Leo needs to stay in lowers so you can bang out the daily missions in style and grace, after you finish working your new player lower missions. Then get you a nice Vengi to build up on and work on the uppers missions. Later you will find yourself in a goli, aegis, spearhead, or citadel of some type.

Personally, I run in my nostro in lowers and the bigboy everywhere else and don't worry about the over powered goli ships. They the game like I do and you find that even when you get popped, you enjoy the game a lot more.

 

I have everything u named on my Leo, I love this idea.
I was thinking that for uppers to make the boosts into natural stats but offer 12 guns and generators without the boost.

Possibly make the x2 rocket damage either an ability with a cool down or make it run on sep.
The price should be comparable to the Goli ship.

 

meh i see where you coming from on must servers even the active ones lowers be dry.But remember that now adays they cant make a somewhat 2nd lenov to be able to put up with alot of the ufe.
