Why not increase stats with MK increase??

instead of decreasing stats like speed and agility, how about you increase them with each MK upgrade?

Would be a great addition.

Also, there is a player named BattleArmor who stays at MK1 because it is the fastest and most agile class, and does not require turbos and other space-wasting items.

 

Because the upgrade to mk7 would be useless, and higher mk ships would become much more op than lower mk ships (thus prompting more people to complain about matchmaking)

Lol @BattleArmor you're famous

 

Not sure that makes any sense. MK7 should be OP as compared to an MK6. You are *upgrading* your boat with the idea that you will be stronger. In that, the MK7's typically are, and should be, in a higher league than MK6's.

 

You forget that mk1 ship also doesn't have the slots to equip any good gear and HP is going to be something like 1k maximum. Also, while base stats from mk1 to mk6 decrease, the max cap for these ship attributes actually increases every time. For example, the maximum speed cap for mk6 is higher than mk1, even if the mk1 might have higher base speed without any items.

There is no benefit to stay at mk1 and even if somebody does that, it doesn't mean it's effective way to play this game.

 

Higher mk ships often have lower base stats, but they have higher max stats, so they are actually much better with the right training and equipment.

For example a mk6 Speeder has a max speed of about 1.7, while a mk1 is only about 1.5. So the mk6 is actually way faster.

However, I do sometimes wish there were some better options for replacing turret speed and agility. Who really has room to run Rudder and Gearlube?

 

Sorry about that; what I was trying to say is that the upgrade to mk7 would be... less impactful (couldn't think of a better word) since all the other upgrades also increase base stats. E.g. if upgrading ship also upgrades overall stats, upgrade from mk4 to mk5 would increase the number of slots, slot points, overall stats and max stats while the upgrade from mk6 to mk7 would only increase overall stats and the max stats. This is unlike the current system where mk6 to mk7 is the only ship upgrade that increases overall stats, which thus makes this upgrade kind of special compared to the rest. So the upgrade to mk7 wouldn't be useless, as I mistakenly said just now, but it will sort of be less of a big deal (in my opinion).

 

I also do not understand why they have to decrease some stats. What are a purpose of this?

 

It always seemed to me like the decrease in statistics was there because your boat was getting bigger and heavier, so it couldn't move as fast. I figured that that's why Speed, Agility, and Turret Agility became worse but Health (and sometimes Defense) increased.

 

Playing with mk1 would be fun but you would never have high infamy. To each their own.

 

Me

 

In real life, it is true. Why should that be adapted to game?

 

I completely agree. Though i want my MK8 to be made of carbon fiber to solve that problem.

 

Yeah,he is my friend.Really.He is in a guild called "Waterfront Marines"

He has 1600 infamy using mk1 shooter.
