Why do you use the old Archangel?  The new version is much better and has glows to boot.

...:::WARNING!!! SPOILERS!!!:::...

In Earth's fleet you'll see two type of destroyers:

- Nemesis - Only one Nemesis exists. It's heavy armored and dangerous. Nemesis is using Archangel MKII model.

- Genesis type destroyers. It's less armored and weaker than Nemesis. Genesis's are using Archangel MKI models.

[TrashMan]

Oh..got it..But that also mean destroyer just got a whole lot bigger...and meaner

[Mobius]

Why you're using the name Nemesis?

Lol, I defend some Inferno copyrights

Keep it up this is going to be a beautiful MOD!

[takashi]

say, by BTRL do you mean viper/raider reskins or weapon effects?

[shiv]

Maybe I'll use weapon effects, bur never reskins of BTRL ships.

[shiv]

Okay! So as I said before today I'm presenting new screenies + reskin of vidar...





And vidar:




Please, teell me what's your opinion about it...

[Snail]

The reskin looks like Aldo's original textures.

Nice, no shields! I always love flying with no shields, it actually makes me FEAR the enemy.

[shiv]

I don;t know. I got it from Hades-Combine

[Snail]

Will we acquire shields later, or go on without shields? (me hopes the latter)

[shiv]

It is no shields in Apocalypse III.

[Snail]

Great, I hated the fact that in FS1 once you got shields you could fly into an entire fleet of enemies and kill all of them. Without shields I actually have to fight to survive. :

Another reason why I like FS1 more than FS2.

[takashi]

and the reason i hate the overpowered cylon KEW in BTRL.

[Mobius]

Uh, if there are weapons specificately designed to disrupt shields you can't be that sure of your victory.

You're surrounded by enemies, your shields are ok, then a shield disruptor missile hits you and you're vulnerable...

[Snail]

Yes, but shields recharge and damage disappears. However, when playing without shields, if you get hit, you can be severely damaged and be limping off for the rest of the mission. However, when you do have shields, when you get hit, your shields take most of the damage, yet, they recharge and you can go back in there. It makes you more cautious when fighting the enemy.

[Mobius]

If your shields recharge quickly, your engines and weapons reactors are surely receiving a low amount of energy.

In Colony Wars, there were both primary and secondary weapons designed to destroy shields/hulls. I remember a "Two Stage Missile", a couple of missiles(one anti shield and one anti hull) that worked together. Obviously, the blue anti shield missiles generally was the first to hit the enemy


And missions that take place in subspace usually are shields-free.

[Snail]

Yeah, but what you could do is gun in, blow everyone up, wait for your shields to recharge and go back in and blow up some more people. Without shields, you'd have to be cautious, dodge fire, stay on the move, stuff like that.

But there's only one subspace mission.

[takashi]

which is why we have FSport and BTRL.

[Mobius]

Either you fly a super Perseus or we're not thinking about the same kind of battle.

I intended the presence of cruisers(Aesacus class ), several other warship and fighters of all types. You're told to destroy turrets and you fly in the enemy's side of the battlefield. Escaping isn't that easy.

WCS works well too, dogfights are fluid.

[Snail]

You CANNOT recharge your hull, but you CAN recharge your shields.
