If the table says it should, then why doesn't it??  Or do you mean some table that's not in the game?  What table are you talking about?

The FS1 table. It says:

$Default SBanks: ("FighterKiller") ;; Should be Vasudan Flux Cannon.

But it doesn't have it, now does it? ;7

I hope the TV-War project will re-do all the weapons, since half of them make no sense whatsoever...

True. The Orion p4wns the Typhon unless the Typhon has VFCs.

There was no "big damage" flag in FS1. You could kill the Lucifer with an ML-16 if it was not invulnerable.

Actually, use a Disruptor or a Vasudan Light Laser or something. Much more fun.

I'm not talking about weapons capable of doing the final 10% damage as pergame mechanics...I'm talking about DEDICATED ANTI-CAPSHIP ONLY weapons.

ATM, THTs target everything and suck against both capitals and fighters/bombers... :ick:

So, the FS1 table says that, what does the FS2 table say?

If they both say FighterKiller, then that's what it's supposed to be.  If FS2 says flux cannon, then the Vasudans upgraded their Typons... beam weaps haven't been reverse engineered yet in FS1, remember?

Well depends. The first Typhon may have had Vasudan Flux Cannons, but other ones had to be cheaper so they used FighterKillers.

Ahem... Where does it say that the Typhon should have FCs?

And what does "big damage" do?

If the Shivans hadn't shown up, I feel confident that a refitted Orion would have forced the Vasudans to redesign, again.

That's what happens in Twist of Fate, a campaign I'm working on where the Shivans never come. The Orion is refitted with beam cannons. so the Vasudans build the Hatshepsut. The GTA decide the Orion has had its run and build the Titan and Nemesis, and the Vasudans don't have the resources to build new destroyers anymore.

Orion > Typhon any day of the week

IT's simply that much better...far more THT's to blast that typhon with. I wouldn't credit the Eisenhowers destruction to a duke-out with the Typhon...rather a surprise attack by it..
THTs are actually weaker than Terran Turrets in terms of damage per second.

Can you read? What's your IQ?

Whaddabout the Ancients?

The Typhon could easily beat the Orion if you replace its FighterKillers with Vasudan Flux Cannons, which the table says it should.

I mean, if it says it in the table, why doesn't it happen ingame?
