Title: Introducing the Ancient Moloch
Post by: Darkage on August 12, 2001, 06:16:00 am
The Ancient copyed the design from the shivans..it is better then the orignal.It has more armor,abit higher speed,and a little more agile.The vessel is capable to destroye a Ravan from the side or to and back,but at the front it has some trouble to destroye it.I tested it whit a Deimos corvette and the Deimos lost 4 times from the 5 battles.

Armerment
AAAF=4
Capbeams=5
flak=1
laser=6
missile's=1

A battle test of the Shivan SCv Moloch and the ACv Moliana has showed that the shivan one is underarmed      (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, that ship really didn't look too shivan to me... where are the arms?! Damnit! I want arms!!!

Yeah, but remember the Moloch gets its power not from its beams, but from its fighters.

Pit a Nimitz against a Iowa alone, and the Nimitz gets its ***  kicked. But pit a Nimitz with its fighters against a Iowa, and the Iowa will be resting at the bottom of the ocean very quickly.

terrans need more turrets (roating ones)!
more turrets! (and better weapons) which means itll suck in battle and look like a support corvette with loads of fighter docking points or something...

You know, I think that the Moloch looks better as an ancient ship anyway.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

YEA ITS THOSE DAMN SHIVANS, THEY STOLE THAT ANCIENT SHIP AND USED THEIR BRAIN TENTACLES TO SUCK OUT THE INFORMATION AND REVERSE ENGINEER IT.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CAMPAIGN, THE GTVA VS THE SHIP STEALING BRAIN TENTICLED SHIVANS

Ahh... I've always loved the Moloch design (although [v] was probably pissed off the the poly count at first). Can't wait for the Terran one; this one looks great!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

It depends more on it's AAAF beams but the flak gun is used for very weak ships.   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
