My apologies if anyone is peeved that I'm creating a new thread after just making one on a completely different subject (since it peeved someone last time). This is actually more of a thought by Varrikan while we were all talking in Dust.
Currently it appears as though CCP is waiting until after the vehicle rebalance before adding in Amarr and Minmatar hulls. When you think about it, shouldn't it really be the other way around?
Think about it, with this vehicle update CCP is essentially starting at square one with vehicles, isn't this the perfect time to add in the remaining core racial variants? Wouldn't it make more sense to balance vehicles when you have the full spectrum available? It just seems like the perfect opportunity, instead off adding it in later and needing to rebalance yet again, perhaps imperfectly since they weren't there when the balancing started? |

I think from a logical point of view, one with no experience in game design, I would agree with you. To be honest I have really no clue if it would be more difficult for CCP to do this.
With that out of the way I agree 100% with what you said. IF you release all of the racial base vehicles together, you can balance all of them at once while balancing them against each other. The alternative would be to release and balance the two races and then at a seperate time rebalance everything when the other two races are released. Seems like doing a good amount of work, and then just redoing the work again later. |

i would say so, except for the fact that there is no release date on the racial variants, and everyday the vehicles aren't balanced, more pilots are quitting, and it really needs to happen sooner than later. |

It does seem sensible, after all, it's hard to balance something when two weights are missing from the scale.
But alas, the powers that be seem to think differently |

Thinking outside the box here but I think the current vehicles and modules we had were all placeholders for all the racial vehicles to some degree. |

the one thing that ccp could do to make things worse than having to rebalance this stuff later is not do anything right now at all.
we need change.
we might not get it all but were gonna get it |

I agree. It would be idea. On the bright side, Gal and Cal are at opposing 'corners' of the square balance scale so ... uh... it could work? |

I'm not sure how they can balance vehicles without having the four different weapon families and the four types of tanking (armor buffer, armor rapid repairing, shield buffer, shield rapid repairing). If they balance between Caldari and Gallente they'll have to do the same thing with Amarr and Minmatar. If you add in long and short ranges plus speed then you have even more variables.
@Cosgar: I see your point about placeholders but I'd hope we were past that. |
