developing units

[dan_da_man]

i think if your the first to develop a unit in the game, you should get a reward other then a profile point,

my suggestion is that you get that unit devleloped in normal time taken, not the time taken with the muliplier.

 

[Alcibiades]

No. Do you have *any* idea how overwhelming unbalanced that would make it for the first player to develop that unit? Absolutely, 100%, unequivocally NO.

Did Han Solo get a reward for running the Kesla Run in 12 parsecs? No, so you shouldn't get one for being the first to develop a unit!

Kessel Run.

i think he means just the very first unit development, not the dev for each in particular unit.

and lol Toby, good efort =)

It doesn't matter which unit he's talking about; the idea should not be implemented anyways.

 

[Steve_God]

Just as a random 'easter egg' - it would be cool if the 69th person to do a development got a bonus similar to that

 

[Alcibiades]

If anything, i'd prefer you just get some funds like for killing a 'Hamster from Hell'.

Anything that alters the dev time or dev mod of units should be shunned.

maybe the first to develop a p-unit should get it free next time ;P

but then again that would be a very poor business stratergy lol

Alciabades is right, while the idea of giving someone a little bonus isnt neccesarily bad...to give the first person the unit 2-3 times quicker than everyone else (especially with certain units) would be insanely overpowered.

i thought a parsec was a unit of distance? just like a light year

 

[tobapopalos]

It is. But the Kessel Run is a race through a field of black holes, and you can shave distance off the overall amount by skimming closer to the black holes. So Han Solo went through the Kessel Run at breakneck speed jack-knifing from one black hole to the next and completed it in less time and distance than is physically possible (due to the proximity of the black holes affecting time and space as we know it).

Yes, I am a Star Wars nerd. I have come to terms with my affliction and have decided to move on with my life.

A profile award is more than enough reward

 

[Garrett]

can we have a profile award for doing the kessel run (which was home (the kessel system) to a prison mining operation by the imperials if you wanted star wars nerdness)
in less than 12 parsecs? maybe the aluminum falcon award?

I think you will soon find out that Alciabades is always right

NO for this suggestion!

 

[Martin]

Being first to have a tech isn't advantage enough? No.

 

[Garrett]

of course he is. As part of the Toby, Alci, Me triumvarate, he has 1/3 rd rule over all.

p.s. it has been secretly said that the flying spaghetti monster often looks to the triumvirs for advice. may his noodly appendage forever be noodly.

might not, would mean that more people buy the punit to try and get a free one next round
