@SirUrza : they won't use the rules directly because the paper and pen ruleset will not fit a MMO video game. They are making their own rules but still paying homage to the original ruleset.
@(Unverified) You do know they're using their OWN rules for this MMORPG, not a literal translation of the Pathfinder Ruleset? They;'re no fool in that respect
@(Unverified) They are not using the ruleset to base their MMORPG on, they are using the Pathfinder Chronicles Setting, specifically the River Kingdoms where you can build your own kingdoms.
Seriously, just try out the artillery. It is not easy as you would think. Those who have the Tier 7 SPGs are the best of the SPG drivers or just really, really persistant. I ran around on SPGs for a while, mostly Wespe and M7 Priest. While I curse them for killing them, I don't curse them for being overpowered since I knew I just made it a little easier in the first place for them to kill me at all or they were really good and lucky.
I had an idea of a Fleet version of the DN where it lose the Siege Ability in exchange for retained mobility and improved accuracy for its racial weapons against other Capital ships. It would also have more high slots. Just enough that it would just behind the Seige Mode damage output, but usable for fleet to fleet engagement. This concept didn't involve boosting defenses at all beyond what scaling the ship defenses to Supercapital level entailed. So it was possible to two Fleet DNs to pound each other to pieces, all thing being equal.
