Bring back the conquest to Sindria Diktat?
« on: May 13, 2023, 10:50:45 PM »

Like the title suggest, i really much want the Conquest to return to the Diktat hands.
Why you may ask? Welp, it's about immersion
If i interprit Alex's POV correctly, the Executor should be a very hard ship to acquire in the first place, and when they do they're also suppose to be the biggest lost of a purchase, cause insert haha dictatorship made bad ship haha. Instead, with the current version of implementation, i can go to Sindria/Volturn, expecting atleast 1 of them to sell a usually heavily damaged Executor every single month, and if you're lucky enough, a completely intact one on the black market, which players can inspect and decide for itself whether they wanna buy it, immediately sees the problem and just steer clear of it. I've imagine it suppose to be a top secret project or something with high level of protection, so why is it treated like a Wish.com Oscar prize? C'mon Alex
Where did the Conquest fit into all of this? Simple, prioritize the production of Conquests on the market means most of the capitals on the market will be Conquest, and you have to be very lucky to get an Executor on the market, let alone being able to buy one (lock behind mil market)
So that's my suggestion. What do you think?

Conquest (LG) with Energy Bolt Coherer, Special Modifications, built in at cost Solar Shields and the large ballistics swapped for large energies would be sweet.

Well no, that would actually be good so the LG can't have it.

Would it really be all that good? Losing Heavy Ballistics Integration and taking Solar Shields is a hefty OP tax, especially if the Lion of Sindria insists on four Gigacannons.

Using Gigacannons, APL or Plasma it would be an interesting downgrade, but a strict and significant downgrade regardless. The interesting part would be player looting it and putting in HIL or TL with advanced optics.

Well, I meant good in player hands.

Conquest has enough flux dissipation to support two Plasma Cannons, so we're kind of looking at an Odyssey with one more large missile mount for 5 less DP.

Conquest(LG) with integrated gigacannons and kinetic blasters but removed missile slots? Or at least some hybrid weapon mounts.

Hm, if you swapped the large missiles for large energies that could be... interesting. Kind of like makeshift Onslaught?
