WOW, I was hit 3 times by a Sword Fish, and now I'm dead. WTF is that thing packing?!!?!
Neutron Cannon, heh.
A nuke sneaking up on me? Maybe, I was zoomed out a bit so I may not have seen it.
That's my best guess; it's about the only thing other than a Heavy Plasma Cannon / Slammer that could one-hit a Death Frog. It definitely wasn't 1000 Energy damage; that would just scuff the paint.
I forgot to mention at the time I had level 10 construction - giving me +50% armour.
Yeah, well, that was when the effect scaled with armor. Now it's flat per hull size, which makes it slightly less difficult to buff / nerf. The Death Frog is very, very tough, but it's certainly not invulnerable now. I'm not 100% sure it's all balanced right, by any means, but it looks a lot better.
Pergon vs. Death Frog is hilarious, though; the only way to win in a Death Frog is by flying backwards and not getting hit by that cannon (at least, stock). The only way for the Pergon to win is by hitting with the cannon and timing the missiles to get the Death Frog when it gets close.
Anyhow, will post another build after I consider one of the burning questions (for me, anyhow)- whether to put in something fairly seriously Pew-Pew and Flux-based into the fixed-mount category. Oh, and finally nerf the Glaug fighter Wings' DP costs, which are outrageously low for what they do. Will get that done right away before I get distracted.
