New thread! i am thinking about all tactical "needs" in this game arsenal at the end of the Second Shivan Incursion., * (I Play the game in hard) so i think you can remember things that the GTVA need to archieve. in the next 5 years in order to
Fighters
They need an apollo replacement., the myrmidon have good firepower but an awful desing ( the missiles simply hit me all the times) probably the Perseus is a good replacement ., but they need a more robust and nimble desing. and they need to try to have dat quad link primary bank., ( the best myrmdon thing ) and probably ., also .. a Space superiority fighter must have harpoons!.
Probably the another flaw., they don't have a Next Generation of Interceptor., Like the valkyr 32 years in technology advacement They can
make a Good Interecptor., With 90 M/S an afterburner of 185 M/S have a +50 of armor and +100 for Shields., and a good Maneuverability like the old valk,, can be a Beutiful add on., especialy with a 3x2 primary bank configuration and 2 secondary banks like the perseus. can be a descent Capella era Fighter right?.
Bombers
*The first thing GTVA must need is a new Light Bomber., Capable of Dogfight ., ( Like the old beloved Athena ). the Zeus doesn't have the same dogfighter ability and have less armor and shields.,
*another thing make a modification to the poor GTB Artemis., in an overall., a good bomber. but his primary quad bank are terrible., i can't hit anything with the 4 guns . also., this ship can use the maxim., but is imposible to use it in a decent fight only 1 bank. i think the BEST Bomber class in the fleet is the Ursa., 3x2 primary banks., a lot of secondary space., and a turret. they need to put enphasis in this class of design when they try to build a Medium bomber. Hard, Maneuverable and the primary position of a Athena., and capable to launch Cyclops at least
Guns
*Update theirs basic turrets., THT and TT simply don't have the speed, rate of fire and damage to be a useful deterrent against, fighters, bombers and another small vessels.
* Weapons are okay in general., the only strange thing is the Prometheus R. need to be replaced with a better weapon. or simply stop their building.
* Banshee come back! ( the UD-8 Kayser is only to Elite Squads) ., is like the tigers tanks., if you have only a few., is not going to change the war. imagine Banshee mass produced? in 32 years they can do something like that.
Missiles
*Stiletto III - a new Anti Subsystem weapon. more effective., fast and harder to destroy., at least. they need to make it true in order to
have any chance against shivan capital beams.
*Rockeye upgrade., somebody try to use rockeye against Shivans? simply ineffective., the harpoons are the best. i think this weapon desing can have 2 ways of develop. More Damage., or Miniaturization., but Heat seeking need a check.
*Infyrno, this missile is awesome., but seriously., isn't possible put any tracking device?., can be a so powerful weapon. very expensive.,
put a heat seeking tracking device., if you can put in an poor missile like a MX-64., you can also put it in an infyrno
*Meson warheads yeap they need it start developing. possibly the only way to take out a juggernaut with only bombers.
*Harbinger, they need it back., at my first think., probably very cheap in comparison with the helios and more useful, why? simple.
They have a lot of subsystem damage., and i think the best way to treat with destroyers and bigger problems is DISABLE'EM ALL.
if GTVA have a second a start some test with this two weapons probably start to build harbingers., i can destroy all Sathanas beam weapons. Very quickly. to be noted.
Only to talk., in this forum possible more people have a very interesting thoughts in this matter. a new Jury-rig ideas in order to put the GTVA. in a better shape against the shivy threat
