bentusi are over powered, their fighters weapons do the damage of bombers of other factions and they shooter pretty fast too.

they could be set to have much lower population cap, that also make perfect sence for the lore of the Bentusi

If Bentusi come in, bring in Kadesh too!

The only Bentusi Models they could pull have to be from homeworld 1 or 2, meaning you could only get a Bentusi Trade vessel and Bentus. The Ion Fighter is from Cataclysm and as it has been discussed all of the source code copies of Cataclysm are gone.

The Bentusi Trade vessel has three rapid fire Ion Cannons...umm...ok, that's pretty OP...and the Ion fighter shoots them like the simple kinetic projectiles that a regular Acolyte would shoot...there was a reason you could only get that in the last campaign mission in cataclys (and why it wasso expensive to build)

You'd have to balance the ion cannons, add a bunch of models, assign everything, etc. Besides, the Bentusi are traders, not combatants...

Very good point all around, to keep it real Bentusi would be over powered. But that got me thinking why not have them in the multiplayer in the same function as the story as a race of trader that will sell you new tech, possably bring in possible re works of weapons from cataclysm. I would love to see some late game mega weapons, or a game mode just for that.

Thoughts?

Yeah, the Kadesh would be more suitable as an additional race. They've already got plenty of unique ships that are fairly well balanced.

Or you can just wait for the FX mod to be ported over so that you can also play as the Progenitors.

seeing as new version has FULL mod support i no doubt we will see more and far better MODS with all the new tools and open file structure.
