On the GTD Hades
on: December 18, 2007, 02:09:49 am
I've got a little question.

In the original Silent Threat, the GTD Hades was a sitting duck that kept releasing fighters. Will it be moving about in ST:R?

The ST:R mission is different from, and much better than, the old ST mission.
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

The GTD Hades is no longer a sitting duck in ST:R.  And it will certainly be moving about. ;7

Will it have a cap on the number of :mad: fighters that it can spawn?  I think I finally got toasted at kill # 100 or something like that.  :hopping:

The original mission was ridiculous from start to finish.  The ST:R mission is well designed; don't worry.

It spawns a maximum of 200 fighters. ;7

But yeah, the blow-up-the-Hades mission was redesigned from start to finish.  It's much better than the original.

The Colossus can hold up to 240 fighters, so I didn't think that was unreasonable.

I thought you meant they were all launched in one mission one after another, with two wings called Bragi and Huri with wing respawns of 99. I assume only a few of those 200 fighters would be launched in one mission.

I was talking about the very last mission.  It's possible for the Hades to deploy up to 5 wings of 10 waves each.  However, it's highly unlikely that the average player will face every single fighter.

Especially when your wingmen and the GTC Orff (Who's genius idea was it to put a goddamn Fenris in a battle with a superdestroyer?) are all cannon fodder. :P

Hecate = 150 "combat spacecraft".  Since when did the Hades ship out with 100% Loki fighters?!

You can probably fit two Lokis in place of one Ursa. :p

Ah, but what was the Hades to be used for?  A space superiority fighter carrier?

I don't think it was ever meant to go into combat, since the GTI was trying to recreate the SD Lucifer.

Instead of a goddamn Fenris are you going to put a destroyer there instead?

:wtf: The SD Lucy plowed through the GTA and PVN forces... what makes you think the GTI wouldn't want to use the Hades in the same manner?

It wasn't finished yet, maybe?
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!
