fighter - 700  (825)
corvette - 850 (1650)
frigate - 1350 (3300)
cruiser/carrier - 1350 (4000)

Uhhh... Unicron will not be working on it, pretty much at all...

[übermetroid]

I wish it would get done....  

[Liberator]

Please, for the love of that is holy, please don't make the Water Pistol buildable!

[redsniper]

you mean T3H COLLLOSSUSS!!!ONEONEroxoromg
which actually sucks?

[Liberator]

Yeah, the bloody Space Water Pistol that was okay against most stuff(NTF) but as soon as it's actual opponent(T3H S4!V4N5!!!!!oneoner0x0r) shows, it folds like cheap newsprint.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

*suitably impressed*

And it reminds me, whatever became of that FS2 mod for HW1?

[aldo_14]

NB: HW2 is out on budget soon. (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002Q2K3M/qid=1092904291/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/202-6716167-1203833 )

EDITED AND REMOVED, SINE I CAN'T DELETE IT!

DITTO...

The Collosus was an OK ship, but in FS2, shivan beams have more power and fire twice as fast.

I once equalized shivan and teran beams, and the Collossus waxed the Sath (just barely..the second time thy killed eachother)

[kode]

yes, the collosus was made to bring down a lucifer, gtva didn't even know about the sathani.

and I haven't got hw2 (or 1 for that matter), and they don't look like my cups of tea either.

it also depends a little on where you place the ships when they battle each other. if the collossus is behind the sathanus in the start, it actually deals quite a deal of damage before the sathanus has turned around to shoot...

[aldo_14]

It the Sathanas approaches from the rear of the Colossus (or possible the top / botton), it should tear it into shreads.  Side on, I think the Colossus has the advantage...... weak spots of FS2 ships are always the engines (rear), and IIRC usually the tops / bottoms.  

Maybe it's someting that should be worked more into missions... i.e. using fighters and smaller capships to maneuver the larger enemy ships into position, or simply just stripping a side of the enemy ship in preperation for a capship to jump in and finish the job.

Thats the way it works in both HWs. Capships take more damage in the engines, top and bottom armor. The only two ships that can fire directly aft are the Hiigaran Battlecruiser and the Flak Frigate. The best way to destroy a Vaygr Battlecruiser is to send in fighters and bombers ahead, have the fighters distract it while your bombers take out its engines (and then the other subsystems). Your capships then just come in and take it out, taking minimal damage in the process (provided you've disabled the missile launcher and engines).
The Vaygr 'Cruiser has three bow mounted cannons that can take out a frigate in a single hit. Innaccurate as hell against ships that size, but when it does hit, BOOM!

How many (FS) ships can you see in this picture?

[Jetmech Jr.]

'tis upsetting that this mod may not get finished. I've been keeping tabs on it for a while and theres been virtually nothing new for a loooong time

I see 5 classes: Deimos, Hatshepsut, Nephilim, Erinyes, and Manticore.  It's a really unbecoming angle on the Hat, though.

[übermetroid]

 I am suprised you could make out the Erinyes...  You win a Banana!

[Setekh]

Clothes pegs are unmistakable. Cool looking. Pity it's gone quiet of late.

Been there, done that.
