Um... Gateways?

[Woomeister]

Ancients mod.

[Snail]

Oh. Cool. So that's where all the new Ancient ships are going to. Has it started or is it still stuck on the drawing board?

[Woomeister]

Can't start that one until after the main campaign is complete.

[Dark Hunter]

So we won't be seeing it for a long, long time....

[Snail]

It would be a lot faster than the main INF since all that needs to be done is making the missions and the negligible table cutting and pasting.

[Mobius]

There's an icon of the Kurruk,right?Basically it WAS a modified Sobek...

So we won't be seeing it for a long, long time....

12-24 months+12-24 months=from 2 to 4 years!

The Lucifer sure isn't having a good day...

[Mobius]

The Titan fire BFBlues?

Snail:remember how many hitpoints does the Lucifer have?How many BFReds?You tihnk that a Phobos,an Alcyone and a Titan could stop it?
Probably there are other ships(I see a glow under the Lucifer)but they won't be enough

[Snail]

Could be with sustained fire, 10 BFBlues all firing at once at the Lucifer would bring down its hull strength conciderably, though it might not destroy it. The Lucifer can only target the Phobos and the Alcyone at that angle, it can probably hit the Surkan with its LRed and probably hit it with its quadruple SReds, but it probably will target the larger Phobos and Alcyone instead.

[asyikarea51]

Uhh, ten BFBlues only bring the hull strength down by 5-8%. Death Squad consists of one Tereus, one Phobos, one Argo and one Alcyone. All are using Helios as secondaries; Tereus is using a mix of Blue and Silver beams (this is story related ).

When the Luci first jumped in, the Tereus's front BFSilv got whacked out instantly... or just failed to fire 'cos the FOV was off. Took me some adjustment to get it to fire...

Point to note, Surkan's Argo is actually pointing in reverse Front Titan is an anti-fighter grid (AAAf/Hornet/Stinger/Vortex), bottom Titan (which faces backwards when you dock it with the Argo's bottom slot) is an anti-capital grid (BFBlue, Helios).

Sadly I was only successful the first time I loaded the mission (i.e. All Death Squad ships survive and only Lucifer dies)... rest of the times, I had to cheat invul the DS ships, I just couldn't get them to repeat what they did on the first try Lucifer is one tough mutha... Bangwal

[Snail]

Has anyone tried a Lucifer vs. Diablo?

[Dark Hunter]

I think the Lucy wins...... it's got two juggernaut-level beams, while the Diablo has only one.


Course, I'm not taking in the changes that the Inferno guys made. I think the Diablo is the same, but they really upgraded the Lucifer did they not?

[Woomeister]

Lucifer should win.

[Dark Hunter]

If the battle works out like this (WARNING! HORRIBLE ASCII ART!):

     Lucy                             Diablo
     ----|-  ---->      <-----    ------|

then the Lucifer wins, but if, for instance:

      Diablo             Lucy
    |-----   ----->     -----|-   ------->


Then the Diablo would win.

[Snail]

I just did a bit of testing...

Scenario 1 = Diablo
-->> <<--

Scenario 2 = Lucifer

Woo put 3 BFreds on the lucifer,it could win a Sathanas.

[Snail]

Really? The Diablo always wins at front on stationary...

[Woomeister]

It should have 2 not 3. Unless I weakened it since the public version...
