When it's the same guy posting (or forcing the splitting off of) half a dozen threads at the same time that all say how much better said guy thinks his ideas are over the :v: canon, then we've got EVERY right to be critical.  And it smacks of ulterior motive.  I'm still quite unsure on exactly what "your campaign" entails (other than it being the TrashManverse that was used to describe how balance works in your head) but it shouldn't be prefaced with massive changes to stock ships without regard to where that's going to get used.  Every thread I've seen you ask for a change has been very inspecific as to how overarching it is, with the only clarification coming when you're presented with insurmountable evidence against actually implimenting it across the board.

I guess my point is this.  If you're making your own campaign, then make it however YOU want to make it (since apparently you're not taking criticism of any kind in these threads) and stop pestering the greater community with the details that you've apparently already decided on.  If you want to change something across the board, whether in your mind you want it to become "official" or just want to  put it out there, then you'd better be prepared for all of the criticism that comes with it.  So far, you're not meeting either criteria.

And for the record, nowhere in this thread did I actually accuse you of trying to destroy canon.  I'm just saying that you're proposed redesign of the game balance is very one-dimensional and ultimately very lazy, but that stands on its own.  You're dragging me in to this argument as though it was something personal, when in reality it hasn't been anything of the sort before now.

You can't accuse me of destroying cannon balance since the re-balancing will be done for Chapter 3... in the futuire after Capella, with new ships and all :D

Chapter 1 only has a few minor table tweaks, the ship balance is still on the [V] level..

Oh..and theres a big difference between proposing changes or commenting them and REQUESTING they be imnplemented. I never tried to force my way...YET.

You're a wrongularity from which no right can escape!

For goodness sake. Just do them and stop telling us about it. Bare-bones table mods aren't very interesting anymore.
