I have to ask - will phase weapons ever be able to hit phase ships? Or can we modders make custom weapons that hit them? That'd be cool
Phase weapons? What's that? (Before you interpret this as a literal question: What I'm saying is anti-phase weapons, as a class, don't exist in the game.)
Well, that's the purple weapons in the game, like the phase beam. But what i meant to ask was if there was way to make anti-phase ship weapons?
They are being renamed & re-purposed to be normal weapons.
I doubt it unless Alex is pestered enough to code in that functionality, since he had already decided to not implemented in mainline.
I doubt that pestering would induce me to implement something that requires significant engine and AI changes to work properly
So if you are fighting a Phase Cruiser with a frigate. you can just park on top of it and there is nothing it can do? It will just overload and you are free to attack it?
Well, hmm. Seems like a good idea, but it will probably bounce out of the frigate before that happens.
Yes, that - there's a constant force acting to push away the smaller ship in this case. You might force an overload by a well-timed fly-by, but you won't (or at least, shouldn't!) be able to just stay on top of a larger ship while it's phased.
The only name I have a problem with is Doom. For some reason I just can't take that name seriously.
Im not much of a fan of the name either. What about wraith?
Ah, you know, I felt a little odd about it for a bit but got used to it. It does convey the intent of the ship's design, considering it's got extremely scary forward-facing armaments.
