Frankly, perishables need rebalancing in general.
Eggular repulsors and jets are costly, but provide an insane advantage. In fact, if you want to get top place on ironman mode, using these is pretty much required. So then, you just have to waste tons of keys, but you’ll get a massive advantage over others who don’t. And then pray you actually win, otherwise you wasted hundreds if not thousands of keys.
I think the concept of perishables just needs to go, and the current perishables could turn into hardpoints, which would be individually stronger, but of course, you have less slots and will have to use them strategically.
Or, idk, just force all players to use same equipment during competitive missions,and it would be randomized for every new challenge.
That reminded me of smth: Even with Legendary BX-9 I am forced to use 1 Eggular because its hitbox is so big from the sides that you could get hit even if the bullet didn’t touch you. Once I was fighting Henlley’s Comet with BX-9 and one of its comets hit me although I was sure that spacecraft’s body wasn’t in its way.
Now I use 1 Eggular everytime I use BX-9 because of that extra hitbox part. Idk why the difference is so little between normal\uncommon\rare\legendary spacecraft, it should increase.
Right, my bad. They definitely help get that food that otherwise ends up being out of reach, so fair enough. And then there are perishables like bullet spray condenser and expander that cost so much, and yet they feel more like a change in play style, without helping you all that much, really.
I begin to know them when H&C Spacecrafts got smaller hitboxes, I couldn’t catch the even if it jumped, so for H&Cs(Legendary) you need at least one Attractor or else you’ll miss a lot. At this point normal H&Cs are more useful than rare ones, I even bought a Rare&Uncommon H&C 101s along with the Legendary one to compare between them.
Agree. Condenser is helpful at bosses only for accuracy(& little more power)(&more powerful at Henpire Ambush too) while Expander is at Supernova and Comets but I only use one of it or else weapon gets weaker. I tried using more at Vulcanic in Comet Chase but it got me less points(&painful at boss fight).
Other than these types even one slot of Expander is a waste imo, I only use more than one during Space Race.
About that, GgWw, Enhawk, and I have already different projects. Every spacecraft is supposed to work without perishables, and jets are already op since a single one of them increases the current speed of the spacecraft by +15% (So, a bomber with 1 jet is +15% faster, with 2 jets it’s +32,5% faster, with 10 jets it’s +404.5557736% faster), which is overpowered.
