It's over the top because it's the rarest, best Shivan fighter ever. Also the allied ships fighting it were much stronger and more powerful than FS2 - era ships.
I get that it's rare but your description tells me that just one of these things can win an entire battle by itself.Well there's no excuse for it not being able to if I'm able to take on fighters and a Cain with a Lilith in an Athena alone and win. :P
Okay, I give you props for imagination.
But 20 gunpoints on a fighter that's as large as the Ursa yet more maneuverable than a Dragon and can pretty much zap enemy fighters with AA beams from anywhere? A 250 m/s afterburner with near-limitless fuel? Dude, if you're gonna come up with an 'elite' fighter come up with something a little less ridiculous. I get that it's rare but your description tells me that just one of these things can win an entire battle by itself.
Hey, I was considering giving it self-regenerating hull armor, self-repairing turrets, and the ability to hack into other fighters and take control of them, but I dropped those featuresBecause that would be too overkill, right?
Time to see if we can get another one of those Prometheus Frames going... ;)

The SF Kraken performs an Epic Pwneuver™ and pwns it. :D
(Disclaimer: I have absolutely no idea what a Prometheus frame is :nervous:)
Trust me, Infi is far more superior than every shivan craft or vessel. Even superior to the Gargant.Especially when you most PRESS SPACEBAR TO SURVIVE
I saw a trailer for that mod. Looks like a bunch of weaboo bull**** to me :doubt:lol
I saw a trailer for that mod. Looks like a bunch of weaboo bull**** to me :doubt:What. So the most original mod ever made for FreeSpace is bull****. Got it.
lolololololIndeed.
this thread is legendary.
Because the .anis are the only content featured in Wings of Dawn, the models, textures, effects, music, plot all mean nothing, I'm sure.
I have it on good authority that a large part of the plot, background, and races are ripoffs of Star Control 2.I have it on good authority that it's good, clean fun.
And I have it on good authority that a large part of the plot, background, and races of Derelict, Blue Planet, Inferno, Blackwater Operations, and numerous others are ripoffs of FreeSpace 2. WTF is your point?Because the .anis are the only content featured in Wings of Dawn, the models, textures, effects, music, plot all mean nothing, I'm sure.

Did someone just say "weeaboo?" 'Cause I think I just heard someone say "weeaboo." ;7WEE-A-BOO! WEE-A-BOO!
Okay, but seriously, I think Spoon would have something to say about having his campaign (which happens to be one of the best campaigns released) being dismissed as being full of weaboo bull****.
Probably, what it sounds like is a case of judging the book by its cover, not putting forth any effort into actually looking at what's inside.

Plagiarism is good now?That is no plagiarism. These are sidenotes to races from star control. There are sidenotes to Gundam etc. too. It is....a goddamn Freespace-Anime. The first ever created anime mod for the space shooter genre. C'mon! That's marvelous!
Adding anime to Freespace is like adding urine to fine wineAdding Gargants and Krakens to Freespace is just ludicrous maaaan.

What's SC2? Is that some sort of Shivan cargo container?Star Control 2.

In terms of looks, a lot beats Infi
Bull****, I want an evidence. No one can beat "Infi".
Maybe, i'm just to obsessed with"Infi". And I know it was a dumb logic. It was a lack of facts.In terms of looks, a lot beats Infi
Bull****, I want an evidence. No one can beat "Infi".
Also if that's your 'logic' for dismissing Darthwang then it's some ****ty logic
I did it in 10 minutes, flying a shieldless Anubis :pimp:Why not with a GTDR Amazon?
Oh, and as for a serious answer to the Kraken vs Prometheus Frame question, I extracted the relevant files from the vp and played around with it for a bit.While most of it is silly considering Tech Room fluff doesn't usually match with gameplay in most cases, this has a viable point, there are times when the Prometheus Frame becomes overwhelmed and it has very little chance to save itself unless its turrets can land hits every single time they are fired, and given the speed of the craft attacking it that's not really going to happen.
Conclusion: It's too slow. With the disparity in speed and maneuverability, it would never land a hit with its primary or secondary weapons. The only threat are the turret weapons, but they are not strong enough to make enough of a difference. With those strong shields and armor it's a tough nut to crack, but the Kraken would eventually wear it down, especially considering its huge target profile. The PF pilot would either have to be very lucky or the Kraken pilot would have to be very careless for the latter to lose.
Of course, this is using purely game mechanics. If I wanted to be cruel I would point out that the tech room says the PF's reactor produces 280 MW, then compare this to the Harbinger which canonically has 5 GT of yield and does 3200 damage. Scaling this to the Subach, which fires 5 times per second and does 13.5 damage per shot, we can calculate that an Erinyes firing dual Subachs is using ~3.53e18 watts, and that's just for the primary weapon systems, not counting shields, engines, etc. If you're not fluent in scientific notation, that's more than 12,600,000,000 times the PF's total reactor output. And the Kraken's reactor is obviously >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the Erinyes reactor.
Pwned - by SCIENCE!

Really? Guess I'll have to start firing missiles with no intent on hitting a target from now on then. :P
I can't hit a single thing with the secondaries that ship uses.
And science without evidence.Conclusion: It's too slow. With the disparity in speed and maneuverability, it would never land a hit with its primary or secondary weapons.
Assumes a favorable initial setup, which may not always be the case. Also you have to remember the Prometheus Frame's missiles are off-boresight capable. I can and have scored kills simply by launching them at random.
Science without context is no science at all. :P
What's "Infi"? What's "Prometheus Frame"?
To know who Infi is, you must play Wings of Dawn. No, don't ask why or think twice. Just do it.

Yes, just do it. Unless you actually have good taste and a problem with crappy terrible anime bull****.
Also I don't think you can change the size of ships with ships.tbl, although I could be wrong
