New idea: Ship variants!

I've been working on this one for a while. It's all about making the game more diverse and interesting. Each ship gains two new forms, beta and gamna, with the original being alpha. The variants have different stats, slots and slot points.
Pic coming soon

 

I didn't write role for fixers, but obvously all of them are support ships. Hope you can read!

 

@TheRedSpeeder your dream came true with Shooter Beta

 

Wow a speeder with two duct tapes... deadly man. It is the best ship. Always been awoke man otherwise it will come in ur nightmares

 

speeder and enforcer with tapes, insane!
I think defender should have two green slots
why fastest ship two green, but easiest target in game only one?

 

Cuz he haz much health and even more armor

 

Yeah, it is definitely pretty op, but slight changes in stats (slower, less hp etc...) may balance it.

 

And guys, green slot doesn't mean automatically duct tape. Stop being selfish

 

never

has more health but also the biggest hit box, only 3 items you can actively use (=boring for majority of players) and has lowest agility (ship turning and turret speed) so it losses hp quicker than anything else because you will have lower hp when you max your defence (max is 100) and when it lowers damage by 100 it's useless against torpedoes and other burst weapons which do 1k+ (especialy when they do 2k+ the 100 difference is nothing) per shot

 

Anyhow I count, defender gamma has 5 items to use. Also, stat changes can balance here too.

 

defender with tape and tesshield

 

See? It's not that easy to kill!

 

Anyway, I made it primarily for the visuals, like there could be visual variants for those, for example, who want to drive a ship that has a shape of a real ship, but plays best with enfo.

 

Make a new boat with the name NEWBIE with the following stats:
5 Red Slots with 5 slot points
4 Blue Slots with 4 slot points
4 Yellow slots with 4 slot points
2 Green slots with 2 slot points.

After that....On seeing this NEWBIE,I would be.....

 

ideal setup:
two tapes, big shield, turbo, small shield/rudder/gear lube, double bubble/bolt+two nitros/OBs+OB/nitro, five snipers, ideal ship!

 

Just do me a favour! Don't add new color slot to any ship!
Like Defender with Yellow or Green items will be NO FUN!
Just change the stats and slot points

 

Yeah every ship must have its own individuality. If we add something like this it will definitely affect the normal one.

 

Yeah man.You are right.Clear up folks.Enough talk here

 

You are right. As I wrote that before, it could only mean visual changes. Leave the slot thingy, but some people would want a new look to their ship
