The NBCs should be out soon on NCH.

Please test the hell out of these puppies, I expect their to be some balance issues that we didn't find in the basic initial testing. I'm suspeting the Mirak MIRV varient will be OTT paticularly.

Test them with and without PFs.

Test all races, particualrly against non-traditional enemies.

Thank you

I just bought a fed nbc and flew it vs AI. Not a good test. Basically this is a BCG riding on a new cruiser hull. As such, I have a few questions. At 182 bpv, why would I want to buy it when the bcg is also 182? How about a turn mode of 3 instead of 4? I take it that it's shield regeneration will be noticeably lower than a CB or BCG? While acknowledging 1 extra engine point, I think the bpv should be shaved a few points down from the BCG, say 180 to reflect that it isn't up to the same standard of a BCG.

the klingon varient is nice. I did notice 1 less transporter six less on the drone controland one less shutle. A c7 its not, but it is damn close. I still think it is a nice ship and fun to fly . The one extra power is cool also.Give it the same drone control as a c7 and i think alot of people will fly it.
Just my $.02.

You forgot the extra AMD

That's the point, the C7 can still be controlled by OOB, this can be availble to all. Compare it to the FDW and the DWL, not the C7.

See my line of thinking? BCH hulls are rare, not NCCs. Make "NCCs" better when the BCHs become carriers so the "common" players have something better.

Or simply bring back the ability to fly mutiple NON OOB ships

Patience grasshopper, I'm in agreement here.

PBR hell will happen.

PS. These NBCs may be TOTALLY un-needed. The CLXs seem to fill the role that I want and they are much closer to "cannon," even the ones I made up.
