Naw, the GTVA beams aren't useless. Its more of that BFReds are freaking powerful.

AlphaOne · **Reply #121 on:** January 15, 2009, 10:09:01 pm

oh RLY ?? Then what about the LRed ???

In fact the only beam i believe is somewhat normal for the shivans is the Sred which if i remember corectly is rather weak when compared to a GTVA beam .

Colossus has thirteen beams, eh? So the odd one out is the one at the top...

In a broadside battle against the Sathanas with the Colossus overdriving all its beam cannons, the Sathanas will probably lose.

The Colly wins in a broadside battle regardless

Neither the Sath's four main beams not its LRed can hit the Colly when broadsiding.

However if the Colly overtakes it it's in for some hurt, the Sath's main beams have quite an arc

You get the Colossus anywhere but the front of the Sathanas and with overloaded beams - clear winner.
Same goes for the Rakshasha. The Sathanas is just an oversized Rakshasha tactical wise.

And with everyone talking about overloading EVERY SINGLE BEAM CANNON THE COLOSSUS HAS everyone must have forgot that it did so with one cannon and melted the reactor.

Okay then. Do it with five or six beams on one side all at once. Watch it explode right afterwards. Go ahead.
That would have to be in a real-life scenario though at best.

What Ship Type is the GTVA Colossus?

GTVA is an abbreviation of two things:
a) organization Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance, military-civilian pact consisting of both Terrans and Vasudans
b) ship class, represented by one, (Rest in Pieces), ship GTVA Colossus, which means Galactic Terran-Vasudan Armageddon.

Thanks for listening

And, Zane, you're right, one uber cannon almost destroyed colossus instead of sathanas, so if we make it two cannons, colossus probably dies.

BS? Does it mean BattleShip?

Well I thought Armageddon was funny

BS = Bullsh!t

That said, TrashMan's GTVBS Archangel Mk 2 must stand for Galactic Terran-Vasudan Bull ****.

The one-of-a-kind ship prefixes are just the faction abbreviations. Sheesh.

WTF are you ppl talking here. Overloading ONE beam cannon almost destroyed the Collie ???!!! The Collie overloaded ALL of its side beam cannon's at least the ones facing the Sath.

And it was not even that that damaged the Collie since from the said discussion the Collie and apparently every other ship out there has a possibility to overload its beam cannon's .

However the discussion said specifically that or rather left me with the clear idea that they used the overloaded beam cannon's for far too much time and so they did not have the ability to cool them down .

Basically if they had the choice of firing the overloaded beam once every minute or so I'm sure the same problem's would not have occurred since they would of had much more time to cool down .

The Righteous went boom. n00b at overclocking.

Put simply

Beam Cannons are not made to be overdriven, just like your car wasn't made to run on an empty tank.

It's more like taking the govenor device off your car and pushing it past the limit

Referred to as a Corvette by your Wingman at one point. "We're 5 Clicks from that Corvette!"

The GTVA Colossus is never explicitly given a ship type in game, so what do you think it is closest to?
