About the veterancy system
-
If this discussion was during the early stages of development, we would be demanding arguments for the veterancy system, not against. Because it doesn't make sense.
-
@deribus Can you stop silencing people? This is a forum.

What even is this argument. That 10x10 teamgames come down to some t1-t2 gun push? What kinda teamgames are you playing?
I’ve stopped plenty of gun acus with plenty of tech rushes to get either t2 on acu or 2 sparkies on the field. 2 t2 pd and you block a gun acu entirely on a 10x10 assuming you use your ACU peoperly and can just continue scaling it as you notice more and more mass dump into unit spam.
T3 beats t4s mass efficiently (gc doesn’t count), why should you be rewarded for dumping 10k mass of t3 at a 28k mass t4. Learn to play better and give up map control until you build up the correct force concentration to beat the enemy instead of walking in units as they show up.

I like ta's vet system, just says it's a veteran and has a bonus to accuracy.
TA's vet system was 100% useless to nearly every unit, yet OP for Long Range Plasma Cannons. Please do not bring that back.
I actually didn't say why I liked it, it's easy to read that the unit had kills and had a very cool presentation imo.

Stop arguing vet should be removed because it doesn't make sense in-universe or story wise. Compatibility with your fanfictions has never been and will never be a balance consideration.
If you believe vet should be removed or changed, explain how this would improve gameplay.
Game is supposed to be realistic.
-
@veteranashe no its not. Explain to me how the whole shit with eco system is realistic? How quantum seraphim shit is remotely realistic? Why do we have teleports?
What matters is quality of game mechanic, how well it is communicated, how intuitive it is. You dont have to make it realistic.Skill issue
-
Realism vs suspension of belief, veterancy existing doesn’t take anyone out of the games “immersion”
the realism is irrelevant, game isn’t a simulation it’s supposed to be fun
-
How did we go from Jip saying he improved the system to a few people insisting that vet is the ebil and must be purged?
I am honestly baffled. This thread is going nowhere and should be closed imo, only negativity to be found here.
In closing, I would like to thank Jip once again for his good work because nobody actually bothered to in this thread.

What matters is quality of game mechanic, how well it is communicated, how intuitive it is. You dont have to make it realistic.there is a thing called science fiction to explain all that, veterancy stands out of that explanation without severe convolution to shoehorn it in, even if you technically can
-
@mach again, realism is irrelevant to discussion of veterancy, its good mechanic so it stays. Its intuitive and well communicated.
Explaining mechanic with in-game terms isnt bad, but its certainly not the first priority. If you want, you can rationalize it in any way you like. -
I think this thread has run its course.

A few months later, there was something wrong with the implementation of the veterancy system: it could hoard megabytes of worth of tables into memory! Read all about it here:
