Break for comedy...

  IP Andrews said, - "Convert the amazon into a Collossus."

  Shivans say - "Screeeeech Scree!" (ops, activate ETAK next time)
 "Go ahead and do it! In fact convert the 'Colossus' into a Amazon while your at it. We think it's sorta redundant..."   

[S-99]

Someone should remake the colossus to have some real frontal power, but it'd have to be close Give the colossus like 100 kayser turrets on the front of the ship, next thing you know, 100 kayser blasts come at your ship and that'd be pretty bad.

[AlphaOne]

Umm how much damage are we talking about cuz i know the kayzers can do a lot of damage. Also since we are talking about capship damage wouldnt it be better to actualy give it maxims?? Oh yeah id love to see what a ship does agains those..! I must be nuts...

[S-99]

You should leave it as kaysers The reason being, it'd seriously damage everything. I mean everything, from capships to fighters. That's right, maxims do almost zilch to shielding, but imagine how much of an overdone anti-fighter screen that would be to any wing in front of the colossus from 100 kayser turrets that just keep shooting monodirectionally. It'd be hell and lucky to escape that kind of fire from such a big area on the front of the colossus

[AlphaOne]

Yep yep you are right kaisers it is! What about trebs??

[S-99]

Something else along with trebs, would be 100 infyrnos. Now that is overkill, sounds like something the galactica would do in the new bsg

[AlphaOne]

100 what??? Inferno?? Umm....oki have no clue but it mai just be cuz i pulled a 24h shift! What is 100 Infernos what are those bombs/torpedos ??

Infyrno

[S-99]

Infyrno is a dumbfire missile, when fired it has a range indicator for how far it's travelling, when it reaches the distance of your desire, you detonate it. The resulting blast is just a huge explosion that's about fighter wing sized, and great for shaking up formations, and causing some heavy damage. Imagine 100 of those being launched and going off simultaneously. Instant death for many fighter wings, and the biggest explosion you've ever seen.

[AlphaOne]

Just fighter wings?? I would imagine them as dooing some rious damage to ships cap ships that is. That would be like what 5 time the average Helios bomb?

[S-99]

Yeah, another thing that could be done is launching 100 emp advance missiles at say like a cruiser, corvetter, destroyer, or even a good area of a juggernaut. That would be just over kill on temporary disabling of any target. But if you really want to permanently disable a ship, the collie should fire 100 stilleto 2's at that thing trying to cover every subsystem equally with all of the missiles.
But personally the 100 infyrnos sounds the best.

[AlphaOne]

that sounds like a good idea so this is the new colie of the future just strip out some of its beamcannons and use infernos at the blasted thing!

[TrashMan]

Problem - limited range..

You need longer ranged missiles. Trebs are the way to go 

[Colonol Dekker]

There was that missile from FS1 that paralysed a cruiser for a few moments, Phoenix V was it?
A few of those would lock down a destroyer surely.

<additional>Why dont torps have an emp effect, The basic nuke ones cyclops etc?<additional>

[Mars]

That was the Disruptor Missile, or D-Missile as it was often called.

[Prophet]

That was the Disruptor Missile...

I think I tried those once... On the Anvil when escorting the scientists from Altair. I just spend them all in one strafing run, and didn't really notice anything different. I won anyway

Did they really do what the description said? Shut down an entire destroyer for a while?

[Nuclear1]

The D-Missile is designed to temporarily stop a cruiser or destroyer from firing its laser turrets. The effect will last about 10 seconds per missile fired, so using these to temporarily disable a cruiser should usually be for suppression until the cruiser is destroyed, or whatever was trying to evade the cruiser has gotten out of range. Only a few ships can carry these - and they are very scarce - so proper utilization is important.

I always figured that the D-Missile existed almost purely for the a counter against the Zenith's turrets should Omega actually have to face it in the red alert mission.

[karajorma]

Only place I ever noticed those things being used was the new version in Inferno.

Pretty much everyone ignored them in FS1.

[Colonol Dekker]

I used stillettos or he D-Missile on the kamikaze aten trying to head-butt the galatae.
Cant remember which.

You more than likely used Stilettoes here, as the D-Missile wasn't available at the time.
