Topic: Balance Poll

[Kroma BaSyl]

However, there are places where you CAN add something reasonable, when all agree.  There are Mirak BCHs that most people find reasonable.  And few people oppose adding "some" drones to klingon carriers.  But these are the exception, not the rule....

In these cases, there are noted problems that are being corrected...

Still waiting for that extra power on the G-BCH.

The questions for the pole are fine. Keep in mind that the criteria for your answer for such questions is, "which do you agree with more". Don't over analyze. Forget about the grey areas and think in black and white terms.

With that said, It's probably easier to balance by subtraction, but more preferable (fun/interesting) to balance by addition.

One answer leads logically to tourney ships only...

The other leads to everything else...

Question is overly simplistic in my view, really depends on what is added and what is subtracted.  I usually tend towards subtractions and look that direction with more friendliness, but there have been times when adding is the better way.

I dont see how a pure balance can be achieved at all, like people have previously said in the thread one race is likely to feel screwed over. Besides the game isnt supposed to be totally balanced, what with one race having advantage over another and vice versa.

Adding ships is the only way to go imo, you cant nerf existing ships to achieved balance without pissing people off.
