Possible incentive for lancasters

[Masaru]

What I have noticed, is that a lanc is a basing attach ship and cannot score kills without putting itself in danger or dying. Being a lanc means you will not get as much money as your team and will basically be stuck behind lines all day. This leads to people not wanting to lanc or even buying one in the first place. As a result we end up with less lancs to keep flag games going (ever notice when a defense is taken over, a lanc usually goes afk or specs, basically killing the flag game)

 

I propose that lancs receive a bonus to shared kill money as an incentive to keep lancs in the game. Nothing big, maybe a 10-25% bonus. Other ideas like giving timed bonuses would be easily exploited, I believe this way would be the best at this point of time.

I agree completely. Lancs deserve some extra money for helping the entire team out with a lanc.

make a new items, for lancaster and weasel only

 

it would be like that

----------------

bounce generator \ 20000 $ xp 1500 \ stackable yes, max 2

bounce= +2 bounces

bombdelay= -22

 

available only for weasel and lancaster

 

then both broken ships would be fix

 

youre all welcome

I say no.

 

Lancs make plenty on other peoples kill and they dont have to waste a ton rushing, on firing needlessly. The plus side of the lanc is the higher nrg, the downside is less kill money. thats it.

Not enough to keep a lanc staying in a game.

 

 

Asteroid's idea is LOL.

A lanc does make money, but let's face it, a player who's bntying is making around 3x the amount the lanc is. It's near impossible for a lanc to get a bnty higher than 100, and it's even harder for the lanc to kill in general.

 

There's really no reason not to give some kind of incentive for the lanc to continue lancing, especially with the current bases. The current bases make lanc's a necessity, especially smart lancs.

Give Lancasters' bombs twelve bounces.

INCREASE the bomb speed on the lanc.

 

DECREASE the summoner cost.
