More Survivability
Repair modes are more constant, with 1.2 the current cool down, but regeneration either instantly or over a long duration. (15 second regeneration, at 25 second cool down, or 50% Health, at 25 second cool down
Math
these figures are based on a % Value of your ships total life. 7% For shields, 7.5% for hull.
New Figures
2000 / 7% = 140 x 15 = 2100 / 20 sec cool down. Total: 105 Shield per second (SPS)
Or (Instant Heal) 1000/25 = 40 Total 40 SPS (this is about half because its instant, ideally instant mods will be better for interceptors, while over time will be better for larger ships that have more pool to eat through.)
Current Figures
684 / 40 seconds = Total 17.1 HPS
More Roles
These changes would include changes like Nerfing damage on ceptors to make them more of a scout ship, that go’s around tagging people with spy drones (so that the team can see where all enemies are) and playing a support role with similar objectives.
These changes would also include making support ships more friendly with healing figures like above, that will generally speaking, heal better.
All support Class ships, that have none combat based roles (interceptors, Support ships) Will receive participation points in games for doing these things.
More Strategy
These changes would focus more in the area of changing the racials, and ships abilities, so that things are more tactical. some changes in this area would include
