ever since draconis opened there has been always some tweaks in the game. parsecs getting weaker armor, some ships are overpowered, others blow up in seconds etc. the story of shock ships begins here tho. until draco one could see players with shock ships in the game but in draco you'll mostly see: tank storm sniper or engi...
and a couple of shocks, i think bucaneer bill has one and i know i saw another one one hive. my point is there's no much shocks around. why? it lacks some serious firepower and WMD items. therefore, i'd propose that SS replace stun dome with "chain lighting arc generator" item (which would target 1-5 mantis depending on the bp level: stun effect plus some damage). chain lightning would have effect similar to one seen in D2 game sorcerer character - it would jump from one to another nearby mantis, you get the idea. i'm no expert (so i dont know if this can be done) nor am i shock pilot so i'd love to see some feedback from shock pilots regarding this idea. can shock be more of an ingame offensive ship instead of support/pvp ship?
