Stock Armada 2 Rebalance

Yes, overhaul, not really a rebalance. You won't get many people who normally play A2 playing this because it will be too different.

If you go by what's in the code, then it will be very different.  However, the build lists and special weapons will be mostly the same.  The only major changes will be the removal of Species-8472 as a playable faction, the use of biomatter as supplies for all playable factions except the Borg, and how the Borg operate.  When looking at the code, it will be very different, but in game, it won't be that much different except for with the Borg and Species-8472.

I still think that's too major a change for most people to bother with if they already play A2.

It's not that much of a change.

My point is other people will. Presumably the point of rebalancing is so it is more suited for online play, correct? But if you change what they know, especially taking away one of the races and adding a whole new resource, they would probably rather just play their normal A2.

If they want a different game to stock A2, they will play FO.
A2 had some horrible balancing issues, because the tech trees and ships were horrible mirrors of each other, specials where nowhere near balanced either.

I just think this project would be far more successful if you just take A2, and tweak the ships, resources and specials etc, that are already in the game. Don't take away or add anything because that will make it even harder to balance.

Also, this isn't a rebalance, this seems more like a personal total conversion mod in the vein of fleet ops.

A rebalance would just be tweaking what already exists, not changing everything.

This x100

dude im sure you have fantastic knowlage of this games code, but i feel you are going in the wrong direction on this.

why not start a thread asking armada 2 players what they think needs rebalanced nerfed or revamped then you will be starting in the right direction and possible get better support from the community. i only wish you had tried to do this much sooner when there was more of an active base of players to help give you input.

if you still plan on doing this and i hope you really do, plz do it right rather than a personal version of the game.

you dont know me but listen to unleash hes speeks the truth and as a hardcore a2 player i agree with everything he said.

You didn't notice this thread that will have the major overhaul?  This project will just tweak what already exists.  And I think you must this post:

Okay.

Which was in response to this post:

I already acknowledged he was right and I changed the goal of the rebalance project.  Further posting about this being a project being a major overhaul is just plain ignorance.
