Wow...you guys are using the Rakshasa? How does it fair against the other Inferno Cruisers?

[Woomeister]

It wouldn't last long against other cruiers, it has more of an anti-fighter role. The upgraded lilith is the anti-cap cruiser.

What's the difference between the old Lilith and the upgraded one?

The New Lilith IIRC uses the juggernaught textures and has more beam cannons than the old one.

[Trivial Psychic]

The 3 arms aim a little more inwarnds and it has darker textures.  Those are the 2 most visually identifyable differences.

[Woomeister]

It also doesn't have an LRed.

[Trivial Psychic]

MRed?

[Woomeister]

SReds I think

[Trivial Psychic]

So, basically it has the same armament as a Rakchassa, which mounts 3 SReds IIRC.

[Trivial Psychic]

Exerpt from FS2 tables:

Weapons:

$Name:         SRed
$Dammage:  200

$Name:         LRed
$Dammage:  600

Ships:

$Name:               SC Cain
$Subsystem:       turret07
$Default Banks:   ( "SRed" )

$Name:               SC Lilith
$Subsystem:       turret07
$Default Banks:  ( "LRed" )

$Subsystem:        turret02
$Default Banks:    ( "SRed" )
$Subsystem:        turret03
$Default Banks:    ( "SRed" )

LReds are also the main guns on the Ravana, Demon, and the tail gun on a Sath.  Also, the Luciferbeams have identical dammage specs to the LRed.

That's the armourment of the Lilith, the Rakshasa has a more unique weapon that it carries

[NGTM-1R]

AF-Cluster-B...

Does that mean there's an Anti-Capital cluster bomb?

errm....AF = Anti Fighter (I guess)

[Woomeister]

AF = Anti-fighter
AW = Anti-Warship

so that is an Anti Fighter-Cluster Missile-B Type

Weapons are graded C-A+

C being the weakest, A+ are rare weapons used by the larger ships.

Small Red.

[T-Man]

So what your saying is it goes:

"Race"-"Weapon type"-"Weapon Name"

So "T-B-Large" would be The Large Terran beam, "T" meaning "Terran" and "B" meaning Beam, right?

[Trivial Psychic]

So, how does an S-B-Small rate against an SRed or LRed?  Also remember, that part of the sting of the LRed is its quick, 10 second firewait, over the average of 30 for standard FS2 Terran beams.

T-B-Large:

Terran-Beam-Large

another example:

T-AF-Las-LR-C

Terran-Anti-Fighter-Laser-Long Range-Class C

so it goes:

(Faction)(Type)(Name)(Special)(Class)

specials include 'LR' 'RF' 'HV' and others

Our naming system is complicated




S-B-Small is the same damage as SRed, but fires faster.
S-B-Large is the LRed but fires slower.

[Trivial Psychic]

So the Lilith's 3 cap-ship beams are all mounted on the 3 forward spikes, or is one mounted for rear defence?

[Woomeister]

Forward facing on the arms.

[Trivial Psychic]

Like a min-tri-Sath.
