@Dorset said in Another Novax conversation:
I truly believe that allowing them to target each other is the best place to start. Why doesn't FAF take a year and make quarterly adjustments to see what the community prefers. 3 months of allowing Novax to target each other then 3 months of novax costing less but no laser and so on? I think the ultimate solution is allowing them to target each other but it can only be known if we try. Same as many suggestions. I also think that perhaps FAF just allow Novax to be unit restricted but still allow for a ranked match would be an interesting idea too. Whats a year of live "beta testing" to see what works. A year is nothing anymore lol
So i will try to take your comment seriously and try to explain.
By having Novax being able to fight / shoot each other would make the only counter to Novax, the Novax. Yes you could argue that you can still shield your stuff, but allowing them to shoot each other clearly shows that that is INTENDED to be the counter. I'm sure there are comparisions in different games but i believe that would categorize something as OP, if the only counter is in its own faction.
Its like saying only one faction will have AA and the others can just shield their stuff.
The 2nd biggest issue is, as i mentioned before, that by allowing novax to shoot each other, you create a 4th category to fight in, which includes only 1 unit. You have water, air and land, and you are now trying to create a category for a single faction. This is not the case currently. Currently novax is similar to an arty, just stronger (as you can only shield against it).
Dont really know how to explain this properly but i hope you get why creating a 4th category for a single faction is a bad idea?
