I've also thought adding statCountTypes or roleTypes as constraints would be awesome too for modding.

[quote who="Mystic Angel" reply="4" id="2698622"]I totally agree with having a SpawnCapitalShip Instant Action that functions the same as SpawnFrigate. I would also imagine that making frigates level-able is going to be a huge time issue as far as coding. What do you think about giving Capital Ships the option to have frigate role types and stat count types? This might allow someone to transfer all current frigate entity info into a capital ship entity template in order

Reply to Community Balance Patch: Diplomacy/Pacts in Strategy Sins Forums

Ok, I have what makes a nice buff for Culture Assistance on the Advent Envoy and it seemed to work fairly well in my testing. The Advent Envoy generates a very small amount of culture (0.5 for right now and only for allies) that simply helps to raise the max allegiance of the affected planet in addition to the CultureSpreadRateForOwner buff if the ally builds culture centers. It's too low of a culture output to really affect an adjacent enemy world but just enough to raise the max a

[quote]To be honest, I'm not sure I like the idea of multiple envoys at a planet...some of the envoy bonuses are already powerful enough, some like Mutual Threat are too powerful....I don't believe any of them stack, but if they do stack or are changed to stack (which I think is a bad idea) then fleet supply would be your only limiting factor...if we lower the fleet supply, I don't think it would be wise to simultaneously allow envoy bonuses to stack...[/quote] You can already place m

[quote]I only build a few envoys in my games because I hate to spare the fleet supply.[/quote] Is there any value in reducing the fleet supply of Envoys? I personally think 12 is to high for MP and in fact I played several 5v5 recently where no one even built an Envoy. Lowering the fleet supply might cause someone to actually use them.

[quote]In general, I agree with your observations...but I think more than just the supply pact needs to be nerfed[/quote] Ya, I was kinda focusing on Advent since they have the least productive Envoy and Pacts.

[quote who="Astax" reply="2" id="2696578"]Cultural Assistance should maybe increase max Allegiance and current allegiance in the grav well by lets say 20%. Scale duration vs cooldown to balance. [/quote] I wouldn't have any issues considering this, unfortunately the only ways to increase max allegiance is with research modifiers or a starbase upgrade. There are not any buff's that can temporarily increase max allegiance. This is why I suggested an allegiance modifier in the

I'll start with a couple of observations and suggestions. Advent seem to get royally screwed when it comes to their Envoys and Pact Bonuses. One of my goals would be to give Advent a little more boost financially when forming pacts with other factions. [suggestion] Herald Envoy: Cultural Assistance - Add a tithing buff that kicks back a small amount of resources for providing cultural assistance. [suggestion] Herald Envoy: Sacrifice - The Envoy is loaded with a

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="197" id="2691574"]Honestly I think out of all the versions of animosity we had, the hull repair version worked the best. The goal of animosity from my understanding is to absorb the fire from an attacking fleet, thus reducing its capacity to focus fire on anything but the Radiance. Thus while the Radiance needs to have a large target cap (if it has one at all) and be able to somewhat tank the damage. However, it has always been a double bladed ability, so I think
