too many spoilers in the mission chain itself. xD

Too overpowered in PVP. Dan will never accept this.

Yeah, they're very overpowered. The bomb ability is kind of cool though, I think something along those lines might be an interesting ability, but other than that, this is not a very practical addition.

How's it OP 15% Attack/Defence to PVP ( Nothing else ) , and 5% boost to NPC if a Spy , and the bomb abitly is unique twist

its a konqul and aerlen type bonuses. they may be nerfed but still..

It has three abilities. That makes it overpowered. You should only give it one, like all the other races. That makes it more balanced.

Or at least make one ability a unique profession rather than a race bonus. Kinda like the Zolazin.

• 15% Attack and Defence is far too overpowered.
• Damage while attacked: We already have Omicron Mine Traps, Thetacron Mine Traps, and T-Plasma Gemini Cannons.
• 5% NPC attack is, again, OP. We've just had a GP item with a cool-down ability that does exactly this.
• 10% boost to credit gain: No. There are already people out there with 1T+ credits.

-4.

Yep, and to be honest... this isn't a lot, this was after going on a scanning run (buy scanners) , colonizing and invading a lot of planets and of course adding 12s to them.

About 200B down the drain in total and if i sell my research along with minerals il get that back in a week, and my MP/RP isnt that impressive

-1 far to many bonuses

far to Op and far to quick and easy to complete
-1

Konqul gets 20% attack bonus to all targets, Aerlen gets 30% def, Drannik gets 40% attack against NPCs only.

Maybe to balance it out it could be changed to 10% attack and 15% def with no extra ability to use, Plus it would have to be at least 8 missions to unlock the race.

The idea needs work but it's not completely nerfed.

has potential but needs a lot of work

No one reads the real idea I guess...-_- Answers in red

PVP is what make it overpowered. Against NPCs, that bonus would probably be okay. Doing massive damage and having attack resistance against NPCs is okay, against players, it is unfair. The bomb thing is balanced, but not with everything else added on. Same thing with the Spy bonus, that is good by itself, not with anything else. And the credit gain would be overpowered with all the other abilities. A race that just provided more credits, or a race that had the bomb bonus would be balanced, but not with all four powers.
