is this confirmed... should i start working for level 2?

Zorg wrote:There seems to be flawless operation of the battle engine + combat ismulator I guess. We are still at toes for any issues that may arise.

In the meanwhile, the development team believes that in order to prevent getting mono-death star fleets and increasy strategy in fleetings, we will need a new ship type.

This ship type must meet the following requirements:
-Very strong against rips
-Vulnerable to a certain ship type (only 1)
-Medium towards the rest

This ship will have same requirements as RIP except for the Graviton Tech: It will need Graviton Tech 2

You may post ideas with full ship details here.

While I welcome something "new", I'd love for Destroyers to be effective against RIPs as they were originally intended. Can't we just get Dessies beefed up?

Besides, it would prevent a lot of us from having to trash our existing fleets to build any new configuration.

I say its time for a new ship...........the RIP is getting out-dated and over-used.........in other games.......

I think if some people have to rebuild their fleets, and change things around then it might just be too bad for them. With RF plenty of people will have to change things anyway (ie. the all BS fleets that were becoming popular are just not gonna work any more)

Name Awak Carrier

Out of fear of planets moons being destroyed the Awak carrier was born for the soul pupose of taking out Death Stars before they could accomplish such a mission. It Carries a small armada of specially designed fighters in its belly that when launched seek out the weakest points of the death star and rips it apart. These special weapons use a special form of Graviton Technology..so special that it only can be achieved thru 2 levels of development. It is also moderate at adding in the destruction of other ships and defenses but for the fact of its natural enemy the Battlecruiser

Awak Carrier
Born to stop deathstars in their tracks
Resources needed : Metal: 6.500.000 Crystal:4.500.000 Deuterium 20.000.000


something along these lines could work..but deuterium level to make and maintain must remain high to keep numbers in check and so exsisting fleets do not need to be altered..this could also be good for those that wish to remain trader/miners and deut will than be at a premium.

Just so you know gump, Structure Points = Total Metal + Crystal required for construction. And armour value = Structure Points / 10.

Nice idea.

Name: --- i don't know yet---

Edventually as empires began to grow stronger it was seen that a new ship was needed to take on the all powerful deathstar. So the _______ was made. _______ can take out deathstars, but sadly are not so good on their own.

cost: Metal 4.000.000, Crystal 1.000.000, Deut. 3 million

attack points:300.000

Well, this was fun. Here is my two cents;

Valkyrie

Crystal: 6.000

No idea, not good with this area. Roughly the same as Battleship i would say?

Description

In the later years of cosmic colonization, war was breaking out between empires. A new
threat arose, the most powerful of empires began to develop the fearsome Death Star, a
massive ship that was capable of decimating fleets and even tearing apart moons.
Scientists spent years researching into new uses of the powerful Graviton Technology in
an attempt to use it againt itself. After long years of war, the Valkyrie Strike-Fighter
was developed. A small vessel, desgined with the sole purpose of seeking out the mighty
Death Stars and using their own weaponry against them. One of the Death Stars strong points
was its uncanny ability to scan the weaknesses of each attacking vessel and gain strategic
fire over them. The Valkyrie attacks from the massive Death Stars blind spots, gaining a
tactical advantage over the Death Stars inherent Rapid Fire superiority. This vessel was
also designed with the most state of the art energy weapon resistance shields, however,
scientists failed to realise this made the Valkyrie vulnerable to the most basic of weaponry.
Only ballistic weapons have a superiority over technology of this ship, more specifically,
those ballistic weapon systems found on fighters most empires had thought redundant.


NOTES

Well, not sure how this would affect the game as a whole, but i decided something having
actual Rapid Fire over the Death Star was a bit too much. So i made something that doesn't
have Rapid Fire from the Death Star at all.

At the same time, this vessel brings back the previously thought useless Heavy Fighters and
promotes more use of the Impulse Engine technology.

What do you all think?

i like... good for making DFs out of Solar Satelights too... hehehe (now i sound like eclipse).
i like how cheap they are...

I like almost all of it, but how is 200 attack points going to penetrate a DS shields
