I believe the point Neoxx is trying to make is that the cost to value ratio is really screwed up.

Example, a light bot compared to an assault.

(Based on older prices, but the ratio is still correct)

Light bot value = 800k NIC
Assault bot value = 1.2 mil NIC

Does this seem a fair cost ratio? I'd say yes.

Now, let's compare the problem bots.

Assault bot value = 1.2 mil
Mech = 7mil

Does that even seem close? God no, the mech would be valued at around 2-3mil if it were to be balanced and that's a generous value at that.

mech value is around 3 million anyway
just the marketprices didnt drop that far already
but even now u can buy some below 4 mill

so dont tell 7 mill fairy tales........

I did VERY clearly state it was based on OLDER VALUES. Please read it through more thoroughly next time. I am using those values as the ratio comparison in material cost. Which is accurate on a comparison scale, the prices just arn't a match to the market currently. Likewise assaults are selling for less as well.

Oldest player still in the game. Perpetuum for life.

Re: Increase Assault Surface Size

I would just like to see the effectiveness of precision raised from 3% per level to say 5%.  With decently skilled precision (7 levels @ 3% per) my chance to hit assaults with standard medium EM is...

target size / (dispersion * (1 - precision level * .03)
4 / (9 * (1 - 7 * .03))
= 56.25% chance to hit which seems a bit low to me after skilling up.

changing the precision mod to 5% results in
4 / (9 * (1 - 7 * .05))
=  68.38% chance to  hit which seems more appropriate to me.

at skill level 10 a 88.89% chance to hit assault
at skill level 10 a 66.67% to hit light
etc...

add in the targets reppers, speed, resists and it is still viable in combat but now I can at least hit the darn thing if it tries to go toe to toe with me.
