But why? The Terrans had the best cruisers..... The 'Zog ones just sucked, and the Shivan ones were only good for shooting capships. The Leviathan and Aeolus were perfects..... enough beams/flak to give any oncoming fighters an economy-size dosage of whoop-*** . So why would they turf them completely?
Title: Cruiser and lots of them
Post by: Woomeister on December 11, 2001, 03:10:00 pm: Cruisers where found to be unreliable against Shivan capships, with the advent of the Deimos, Phobos, Neptune, and Taisan, the old cruiser classes where made obselete by stronger sips which could do their job. The Vasudan cruiser will belong to the VCI fleet if it is done. So it'll be for special ops. The GTVA Terrans wil get the Eclipse Class Cruiser by the end of the first chapter anyway (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Post by: IceFire on December 11, 2001, 07:40:00 pm: I have to agree with Shrike up there, Cruisers definately have their place. But thats okay, there's plenty of room to make that statement elsewhere.

A new Shivan cruiser is definately not a bad thing (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Not mod wise anyways, its bad for everyone else (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

A Deimos, but only because the Aeolus class of cruisers is so rare after Capella that maybe only 4 exist anyway, and thus would be very hard to get one's hands on. That's why I came up with the GTC Peleus in the first place.

I think the idea of an anticap cruiser (an example being the Lilith or the GVC Tuket featured in the 2nd and 3rd campaigns of the Eden Project) that could provide heavy firepower against both fighters AND caps, is a good one, since making a cruiser with heavy beam weapons is much, much cheaper than making a ship about 7x as massive (corvettes are about 3x as long, 1.5x height, 1.5x width). It would also be more mobile, and easier to replace if lost in battle.

I've tested the GVC Tuket against several different types of Shivan warships. It can destroy just about anything up to (and including) a Moloch, with the exception of a Lilith, although a Tuket-Lilith match mainly depends on whether the Tuket kills the Lilith's beam turret or not.

Just goes to show that fast, mobile anticap cruisers which can be pumped out very quickly and (comparatively) cheaply are quite nifty. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Hmmm, you know those things would probably need buttloads of maintenance, right? Those kind of massive refits tend to be very expensive and in the long run be less useful than entirely new ships. Which is why you see very few converted ships except during wartime, where numbers and how soon they can get into service are the overidding concern, and not service life and economy.

Post by: Woomeister on December 16, 2001, 07:05:00 pm: Ah from your site is says your doing a total conversion, we're not. Our story and ships still revolve around the FS2 universe and a few ships are still in it. That's why we're a campaign still (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Hmmm, you know those things would probably need buttloads of maintenance, right? Those kind of massive refits tend to be very expensive and in the long run be less useful than entirely new ships.

Actually, no. The hull sections of the head and engine are the same, basically, but the internals are much newer. Although, the engine section is largely untouched (except for a tune-up) since it was working okay anyway.

It's the fact that the ship is partially prefabricated which makes it more appealing to Command; it can be pumped out faster and at a lower cost. Considering the plot of WoF, it would be preferable to the more expensive Aeolus.

The other reason is, Aeoluses have to have a ton of ultra-compact (and ultra-expensive) systems to support their high turret density. Peleuses are less condensed, so they don't need that extra compactness. Besides, Peleuses are better against capships than Aeoluses, thanks to its forward MGreen.
