30k, so it can only fire all its guns for a few seconds.

30k, so it can only fire all its guns for a few seconds.

How often do you find a ship like that surrounded on all sides? At most it will probably be using ~40% of its guns at one time, which lets it fire much longer then you perhaps thought. I also don't see many ships surviving that kind of burst firepower. So many large mounts! Throw Heavy Maulers into every one of those and Needlers into the medium slots - NOTHING will survive the first 10 seconds of engagement.

On another note, I love your mod! Like Davidoff's ship addon, I like the look and feel of your ships. I wish the Mark 4 had a more elegant shape though. Maybe wider at the bottom? SO it looks a little bit less like a brick.

[ValkyriaL]

One broadside will cap its flux, no need for it to be surrounded. and the AI doesn't use 40%, it fires everything its got to ensure it kills you while you are still there. because the ship itself is so slow that it cannot move itself into a defensive position before you circle around it.

Finding/making parts for a ship this large is very hard, remember that i kit bashed the whole thing together, but i guess it could be improved, but more space means more gun mounts needs to be placed/moved, and i don't want more guns that it already has, because i cannot assign them in the editor.

[ValkyriaL]

Well Anyway, your going to have the chance to test that out yourself! because I'm doing an early release.

Ships

-Vatican Mk.IV Dreadnought

-Nirvana Mk.I can only be found in convoys and the station because its so outdated.
-Vatican Mk.IV added to simulator.
-Yuusha Frigate added to simulator.

Weapons

-IR PD Cannon

And please people.. some feedback and screenshots would be appreciated, since i have received very little or next to none other than people thinking its a great mod, which is very good in itself, but I can't really fix anything if nothing is reported as being wrong. or perhaps there is nothing unbalanced whatsoever?

[Chronosfear]

Ok ..
I personally dislike the sound effect of the "LR Heavy Flak Cannon" , i think it doesen´t fit in well atm.
but thats just me

Now , I´m going to get that Mk.IV ..

keep on the great work.

[ValkyriaL]

the Mk IV is not in any fleet yet, i was waiting for the new ship sprites before i included it in the actual campaign, since i planned it to be the "Last Boss", but you can still fight against it in the simulator, Do you want it captured that badly? ^_^

[Chronosfear]

Well i can wait
Just owned it with my Mk.III in the Sim, char focused on combat and tech makes big ships OP

Movie : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMrzBxBjFsU&feature=youtu.be

Not really a boss

Edit : Quick movie added ^^

[Spardok]

Do you want it captured that badly? ^_^

Yes, yes we do .

[ValkyriaL]

Well, that died fast... luckily i have lazy working on a unique ship system for it, and you have player skills backing up your ship, wait until the AI gets their skills... blood will float...

[Spardok]

Well I didn't get a video of it but...

Spoiler

[close]

As you can see... it didn't even make a dent rofl. This was a Mission Sim, so I had no character points at all. I think the ship may need a bit of a buff .

Looking at that idle % I think my computer could use a bit of a buff too haha.

[ValkyriaL]

Changes

-Buffed Vatican Mk.IV's HP to 30.000 from 27.500 (If you feel that it is unnecessary/to much, please speak up)
-Gave it a unique custom ship system (Thank you Lazywizard)

[Spardok]

I just re-downloaded it again thinking that you updated the file >< lol. I want to pwn the upgraded version damnit!

[ValkyriaL]

Oi oi, let me and wiz fix the system first, there are a few bugs here and there that needs attending to, I'l upload it soon.

EDIT: you people are going to love and hate this new system, i guarantee you.

[Spardok]

Well good to know I'll get to take a whack at her before I go sleep! Though in the meantime my F5 key may snap right off :p.
