Title: Conquest-Class Battlecruiser Missing from Mercenary fleets
Post by: ValkyriaL on August 05, 2012, 01:19:59 AM
I've played around for a long time and no merc fleets seems to have it, not even the largest ones. are they not supposed to have it? because it looks like its clearly a merc ship and all factions pretty much have at least 1 capital ship in their biggest fleets except for them... oh well pirates don't have capitals either but who cares about pirates eh? =I

I'm fairly sure I've seen one. I've fought so many in simulation I cant be 100% sure I'm not mixing it up though.

Please put up a screenshot, because i have NEVER, seen one in the campaign except for the ones you can buy from stations. or maybe it was your own conquest that got captured hmm? >.^

It's not (but it wouldn't be a bug if it was!). A "bug" is something that's wrong with a technical aspect of the game - let's try to keep this section of the forum dedicated to that.

But... If its not there but supposed to be, there is something wrong? and that means a minor technical problem! a conquest is expensive you know, i want to capture mine instead of buying it. =I or maybe it is there just extremely rare? like the medium tanker which i haven't seen either.

You're making an assumption that it's supposed to be there.

Why wouldn't it be? most of the other ships are? =(

If you're really sad, just mod it in :).

Just to be perfectly clear - a lone Conquest does occasionally show up.

I have never seen one.
Though, I think pre 0.53a I have seen one in a fleet...

I think hes telling me the truth, because i just dragged my way across 2 hegemony D fleets in a row (one is there when you start a new game and another spawns 5 mins in) and just as i came out of the second, a heg fuel convoy with 2 phaeton medium tankers came towards the station =D i am so happy, i couldn't capture em tho because they blew up when i engaged the fleet, shame.

* checks independent spawn point and faction file *

The lone independent ship shows up 15% of this time and 1/9 of those times it is a Conquest for a total of... 1.66% of all independent spawns.

Clearly Corvus 5 needs to have a super powerful merc fleet show up round it, that then goes out and hunts pirates, plowing through them in a savage fashion, and we could call it batman.
