New Ship/Armor System

[pbhuh]

Currently there are certain points in the game where Armor vs Damage is no longer balanced and these points become more and more a problem. I think I got a way to fix this by creating a new Ship/Armor System.

Renewed Ship/Armor List:

level 1 - Phoenix S
level 1 - AnIn-1300 Light Transport
level 3 - AnIn-1450 Armored Transport (choice)
level 10 - AnIn-2000 Series (Conquest)
level 10 - AnIn-Heavy Series (Leveling - Lyris/Aurora)
- level 12 - Thermograde Armor (Terasa)
- level 15 - Deluvian Armor (Lustra)
level 20 - GC Series (Leveling - Begin Gemini)
- level 23 - Thermograde Armor (Further Gemini)
- level 25 - Deluvian Armor (Last Gemini)
level 30 - MST-FF (Begin Mizar)
- level 33 - Thermograde Armor (Further Mizar)
- level 35 - Devulian Armor (Last Mizar)
level 40 - STAM (40) (Rebel Sanctuary Sarayon)
- level 43 - Thermograde Armor (Rebel Sanctuary Sarayon/Mars)
- level 45 - Deluvian Armor (Mars)
level 50 - STAM (50) (Moon)
- level 53 - Thermograde (Moon/Earth)
- level 55 - Deluvian (Earth)
- level 60 - Methanoid (Gazica)
level 65 - META (Gazica)
- level 68 - Thermograde (Hive)
- level 70 - Deluvian (Hive)
- level 75 - Methanoid (Sirius)
level 80 - Ancient

Mainly you will be able to buy your ship earlier (in the begin of the system) equip it with same level tech and use your ship longer and upgrade it's armor and tech.

Other Important changes:

* Rebel Sanctuary Sarayon
- New Planet that looks like a hangar/asteroid - here you begin your sol journey and it's story will base around in the begin Cythion Torh beginning to assasinate Wagner Krowl and lead the rebels himself, you need to help Wagner, after that a Imperial Ship crash landed on the asteroid and starts attacking you, but lucky for you he drops a shield key to mars.
Level 40 - Antimatter tech and Level 43 - Enhanced Antimatter tech drop here.

* Mars
- Mars story changes to have it's base their being built by you after that it pretty much follows the same story as of now.
Level 43 - Enhanced Antimatter, Level 45 - Power Antimatter and a new tech line Level 48 - Enhanced Power Antimatter drop here.

current lvl 48 changed to 50 etc.
current lvl 55 changed to 60

* AnIn in Vega
- AnIn-2000 is only for conquest and has no other armor
- Current Antares ships are now as cheap as AnIn-2000 and are used for leveling from Vega to Gemini

I agree on one point: Ancient Armor on " Parsec" are not balanced when looking at the power of Sirius Ancient BP, but why all these complicated suggestions???!!! I think increasing Parsec armor is enough.

Others armor ship are perfectly fine.

this one shows some large imbalance issues in antares and sol,

also because the antares ship is very weak versus the vega ship and costs 4x as much cryonite, fixing the antares ship to lvl 10 and add levels to it's armor makes it fit in the game more, now you don't need or a vega ship to gemini or an antares ship which costs way to much making you grind in vega for that.

in sol the blueprint - armor system changed a little, ships level 60 but the armor actually being level 55. Making draconis harder etc. small issues that should be addressed and would make the weapons vs ships as balanced as it was in Gemini/Mizar.
