@Torgard: Excuse me, but then why all ships like Destroyers / battleship & etc have cargo ? They are only for attach ... So according to your idea about no cargo - these ships should also have 0. About the shields & resources & etc u said, I gave random numbers for them (the author of the idea didn't specified them)

The reason for the Battle ships and the destroyers cargo space is for you to be able to hold the deuterium for you to attack. they are not raiding ships so they do not need a big cargo.

Destroyers and battleships need the cargo space because they are used to attack other ships and resources. This new ship is just a defense ship that does not require much cargo space. Of course, you can argue that all ships need a large cargo space, but I just do not agree.

I agree with Torgard. if every attacking ship had a large cargo space, no one would build cargoes. Imagine if people would be raiding with destroyers and battlecruisers. The lack of cargo space is what keeps from a major one ship dominance.

if this ship is made please give me one reflector because its my idea[if you say something bad like the f word I will report you, if not just say no k?]

certainly is original... so i think the ship and the missle would need their own tech. reflection technology or something like that.

and another thing, since the only counter to the reflector ship is a missle, it would be simple to defend but hard to attack, so maybe give it a high RF from bombers.

ok bomber are the only ship that can destroy it, but you need 25 of them because that would be a HUGE problem

this is the best idea EVER

slim, it's an interesting idea, but you also have to take into account the effect this will have on everyone. it would have to basically be an extremely expensive swarm ship in order to keep the servers balanced, and it would need to be able to take damage from a variety of ships or it would be too overpowered. Plus there are already 2 defenses that serve the purpose of absorbing attacks, so there really isn't a point to having a reflector ship imo.

To simplify Torgard's answer here, ships like destroyers and battleships have to have cargo space in order to hold the dueterium fuel that they use to move. It's simple logic: a ship doesn't just use all the fuel instantly and zap it's at the destination. The engines require fuel over the time that it takes for the ship(s) to travel.

Make sense?
