My Thoughts - Multiplayer = awesome, not great but still worth it to lan with some friends or go on Ironclad. Needs more balancing...

Yours?

I've used that in conversation before.

Balance = good.

But it is still funny if, in an team based mp game, the teams are different and good and weak at different things, and it still become balanced.

I like the idea of unbalanced MP. It's been used a few times.

I'd like to see that in one of those RTS/RPG/FPS games like Savage 2. Ten Behemoths vs a group of survivors.

I like games like Star Craft where the different teams are good at different things. And then there are "Zombie Panic! Source", where you start with at last one zombie against all survivors (if several people choose to be zombie there becomes more), and everytime an human dies he/she become an zombie for the rest of the round. The game end when either all zombies are dead or all survivors are. That concept is very good to.

What's unbalanced in this game? It's pretty good so far.

Well, what I meant was that the two sides where entierly different. Zombies can only attack in close range, while the survivors have guns (they do have an limited amount of ammo though, so you have to share).

Well i havent figured out everything in the game yet, but so far...in MP i always get people who have like 50+ frigates and 1 cap. while i have 2 cap. ships 20-30 frigates a few support ships and there frigates wipe me out...whats that all about i balance my fleet for maximum longevity and they wipe it out with 1 cap ship and 60 frigates...plus the varsari or however its spelled can bypass shields with there weapons...whats that all about...no other race can do that or has that type of ability...or any ability to counter it that i'v seen.

I mostly play the TEC and since i'v played them in MP i'v lost almsot every game against any varsari enemy every other race i can wipe out easy peasy but the vasari race can always wipe me out no matter how many ships i seem to have even if they are at a disadvantage....it bugs me a little =\
