In light of the nine millionth discussion on how LSBs are underpowered once crew makes their modules redundant, I offer an awesome suggestion that will benefit larger ship as well as medal-chasers!

Medal: Fully Loaded
Requirement: have the maximum number of every every top-tier weapon (8), thruster (4), dampener (4), hull (5), shield (5), reactor (3), relay (4), scanner (5), cloak (2), and jammer (2) installed on your ship at daily upkeep.
Medal Points rewarded: 25
Reward unlocked: when all top tier items (listed above) are installed on your ship, you can activate the "Module Array" ability for 75 energy, which integrates and enhances the effectiveness of your ship modules for 3 hours, providing the following benefits:

• +1% energy plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up)
• +3% attack plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up)
• +5% defense plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up)
• +7% hull plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up)
• +9% shield plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up)
• +11% to effective scan plus an additional 1% per 2k decks for purposes of dealing critical hits ONLY
• +13% to effective cloak plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up) for purposes of receiving critical hits ONLY.
• -1 minute to raid/hack cooldown minus an additional 30 seconds per 2k decks (rounded up)

Ability cannot be removed via Containment Missile.

Ability provides increasing benefits for larger ships, and since it is not passive, requires players to log in and use it.

Would something like that make flying an expensive, bloated LSB at least a little bit more enticing?

I really like this idea, buff up the bigger guys without nerfing the SSBs, everyone's happy.

+1 to the concept ... details of the ability would still need tweaking though. something like the raid timer would be pretty hard to program in. the other stuff looks fine tho.

oh, and i just crossed 1k decks ... there goes my damage cap

I like it, only one I don't care for is the - timer one, since we all know SOMEONE would just dumpship bots on their ship and become the new hack king just hacking all in sight with 0 cooldown.

Considering that a zero cooldown would require 27,500 decks, I'd love to see how long they keep their ship afloat once legions start alerting them for the hax...



That said, I suppose abuse could be a concern if somebody doesn't care about their damage cap. So why not cap all bonuses at CURRENT_MAX_UTILIZED_DECKS in order to keep people honest? I think the current maximum you can utilize is creeping up to around 8,500, so set it at whatever that current amount is, and update it when new modules come out

works for me,

only thing I dont like about it is




personaly I would prefere a reduced bonus, that instead was a pasive ability and active 24/7/365
we already have way to many combat bonuses you have to activade or use artifacts to get

+ 1 to this concept

Yeah, there are a lot of things you gotta set on timers and click.

What if it were a 4-6 hour buff? Would that make any difference? I wouldn't be heartbroken to lose the timer and go to a permanent:

• +1% energy plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up)
• +2% attack plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up)
• +3% defense plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up)
• +4% hull plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up)
• +5% shield plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up)
• +6% to effective scan plus an additional 1% per 2k decks for purposes of dealing critical hits ONLY
• +7% to effective cloak plus an additional 1% per 2k decks (rounded up) for purposes of receiving critical hits ONLY.
• -1 minute to raid/hack cooldown minus an additional 30 seconds per 2k decks (rounded up)

While it would have the negative (for me) of requiring less player input, it would actually create more of a benefit "per deck," which is kind of the point, since you'd be getting a larger proportion of the bonus per 2k decks...

also want the "ssb, not OP" medal...reach level 1k with 2k or less decks on ship....reward....1 space module...hull +1% x decks

+1 the idea, I like the passive buffs better, but would be happy with a 24 hour buff/24 hour cool down. That way you have to log in at least once/day to get the benefit.

+1 on KoolAid's idea as well, I doubt it has been tracked to date so a lot of high rank players might get nerfed by this. I'd like to recommend adding "or rank 2k with 5,000 decks, rank 3k with 6,000" or something similar.

I'm not against making a medal for for playing as a SSB ship
but the problem I have with this one is that you are excluding anyone that already have 2.000 decks from getting it, unless they reset

and that it conflicts with this medal that is already in the game



can be fixed 2 ways

adding rank 2K in less then 4000 decks, rank 3000 with less then 6000 decks etc etc etc as PigsOnHigh sugest

or like the exotica medal

add a "I'm finaly finaly SSB" medal, (reach rank 5000 with less then 10.000 decks)
where you automaticaly also gain the SSB medal when you get it
