Does the game even supports things like torpedoes? I've seen people talk about this for ages but I've never seen it in the game.

[Polpolion]

what do you mean by torpedoes? Do you mean Helioses on capital ships? Yes, they do.

What the hell are you talking about ?

[TrashMan]

I know what they can make-Science Cruisers/Awac Vessels that don't die easy.

Allready done...by me

Alltough, quite technicly, you can make even the Faustus into a fortress of DOOM...

[Gamma_Draconis]

Was the Boanerges supposed to replace the Ursa?

Nope, the Ursa was an assault bomber. The Boanerges was suppose to replace the Medusa as the standard GTVA Terran Heavy Bomber. The Ursa was relatively new while the Medusa was an old workhorse at the end of the Great War.

the technoloigical level of the GTVA. sorrow that they didnt have the money to have every turret a beam turret.

if you dont understand, watch babylon 5.

[NGTM-1R]

The ship class the GTVA is sorely lacking currently that really ought to be there somewhere is actually pretty blindingly obvious, from the first debriefing in the damn game.

Assault Transport. Something designed to deliever troops to the surface of a defended world, in, say, regimental strength, complete with supporting armored and artillery elements.

You mean the 4th

I think that the GTVA already have some atmospheric marine transports, by the looks of it, we just never see them.

[Sarafan]

Using a example is better, have you ever played Starlancer? Or saw the capship combat in it? I mean something like that.

[TrashMan]

5-6 torps and any enemy ships bites the dust....of course, bombers could only carry 2 or 4 of them.

Protecting ships was hard there....especially given that anti-fighter turrets sucked BIG TIME

But I would like to see a weapon that looks like that plasma ball weapon capships lob at eachother (for no damage whatsoever, but it looks friggin great)

[Sarafan]

Oh, IMO it wouldnt have to be a torpedo, it could be something more powered down, you know? To maintain the game balance, I used that more as a example of the weapon system.

[akenbosch]

Tech the GTVA would probably need:

freelancer-style plasma turrets

converting all beams to slashers (have greater chances of knocking out turrets/subystems and vaporizing unlucky fighters)

b5 style multi-fire turrets

b5 style interceptor turrets

b5 style weaponry PERIOD

swivel beams (see: b5 triad weaponry)

tractor beams (see: star trek, star wars)

stuff they would probably end up making:

antimatter primarys (see: b5 vree weaponry)

ships that have no blind spots (see: vree ship desing)

true juggernaughts and "pwn all" ships (see: vorlon planet killer, nomad sun destroyer, imperial star destroyer, SSJ Gargant)

Gunships (see: ISA whitestar, FTX-011a THor)

Beam bombers (between gunship and bomber) (see: SB VInychal, AB Satyr)

Subspace torpedos (see: Local SSM, Cruise missle, Supernova bomb)

[ShivanSpS]

Dynamic damage! i whant to fly over a beam hole on a destroyer... i whant to see ships apart when i hit them

[Snail]

converting all beams to slashers (have greater chances of knocking out turrets/subystems and vaporizing unlucky fighters)

I've seen TerSlash beams overshot so much it's scary (doing ~5% damage to a Fenris since it decided to go for the little just at the bottom)

[TrashMan]

Slashers just aren't that effective in my book...too much wasted energy...their damage needs improving IMHO...

[akenbosch]

that would be done, if i add this to the list

better beam reactors (more beam damge, longer beam life, longer ranges for beams)

[TrashMan]

I jsut HAVE to ask...anyone made something like this?

But I would like to see a weapon that looks like that plasma ball weapon capships lob at eachother (from Stalancer)

[akenbosch]

i've never played starlancer, so how can i know what it looks like?

[Game_Master64]

Maybe an actual artillery piece, kind of like the RBCs, but more powerful. I've seen people put a bunch of small ships together and have them all fire at once, and call it artillery (gorgon cannon) but no true weapon.
