The thing is, in universe there's only 3 of these big destroyers, so everyone knows what the Eris or Solaris is.

The only name I find hard to remember is Shepseskaf.

At first I thought the Eris was a computer because of the reinforcements mission.

Androgeos Exeunt · **Reply #803 on:** December 26, 2010, 12:03:12 am

Most of us had an early spoiler of what the Eris is in the form of an early trailer for WiH, showing the Eris taking on three Allied warships on its own. It was still an FD Vexor back then with the metallic black paintjob.

I think Darius has since deleted it off YouTube.

Something i want in the rest of war in heaven is precise numbers about weapons and ships in the ship and weapon selection and even more of them the techroom. Damage per second (shield hull), energy use per second and projectile speed are the most important ones for weapons. Size, speed, turning rate and armor and shield strength as well as weapon points and capacity are the most important ones for ships. In the techroom there should be anything, that is gameplay relevant. That includes stuff like reactor power, burner capacity.

General Battuta · **Reply #805 on:** January 06, 2011, 09:59:08 am

Aren't those all present as of the 1.1 patch, in the weapon selection screen?

MatthTheGeek · **Reply #806 on:** January 06, 2011, 10:11:22 am

Crack open the VP and browse the tables. It's that simple.

No it's not. Users should never have to leave the game to get information they need.

MatthTheGeek · **Reply #808 on:** January 06, 2011, 10:24:17 am

Who said they needed that info ? The infos given in WiH are more than enough already. You don't have to know the exact turning rate or afterburner recharge rate to play correctly.

General Battuta · **Reply #809 on:** January 06, 2011, 10:27:35 am

We would prefer information on par with that in the MediaVPs. The patch 1.1 loadout screens are a step in the right direction in this respect.

Fury · **Reply #810 on:** January 06, 2011, 11:18:20 am

Actually the "Level 3 Hull Damage / "Level 2 Shield Damage" in mediavps is really useless. BP2's patch has much more useful details about weapons in loadout.

Mars · **Reply #811 on:** January 06, 2011, 12:25:59 pm

Also, the wiki doesn't have information on afterburner recharge or turning rate. It really is a matter of cracking the tables.

ION3 · **Reply #812 on:** January 07, 2011, 02:15:33 am

There's a patch? Holy ****! *installs*

Hey that's much better. Here are some comments:

GTVA equipment descriptions are not on the same level as UEF ones.

Ship descriptions still have the rather unusefull information:
armor average
maneuverability good

I suggest instead:
Armor (number) shields (number) (armor+shields as a single value would also work)
turns per second (number) (not seconds per turn turning rate averaged over pitch and yaw)

Primaries have reloading time listed instead of shots per second
Ballistic weapons have ammo size listed instead of ammo count

Secondarys have damage per second listed. I would instead suggest damage per release (swarm damage added up)
Secondarys lack a rating for lock on speed and maneuverability.

And not everyone knows how to open .vp.

That's why afterburner recharge should go to the techroom. The selection screens only need basic stuff.

Where can I find this patch?

DarthWang · **Reply #814 on:** January 07, 2011, 05:58:23 am

Wouldn't it make sense for there to be less info on GTVA stuff since you're flying for the UEF so you would have info on all your weapons but only some captured intelligence on GTVA weapons?

Try the sticky RELEASE topic right on this board...

It would but such details are not campaign-specific. If you have WiH selected as mod, then those same details would be shown when you play AoA or FS2 campaign.

I would love to see a terran capship commander with command over a vasudan ship...
Something like a pet of Khonsu II and not liked by his fellow terran comrades^^

MatthTheGeek · **Reply #817 on:** January 07, 2011, 08:46:59 am

I think the Terran-Vasudan relations are too strained in BP for something like that to happen...

crizza · **Reply #818 on:** January 07, 2011, 08:52:22 am

Yeah, I know...but Terrans with this fancy Order of Vasuda medal...
Should work somehow^^

ION3 · **Reply #819 on:** January 07, 2011, 11:54:05 am

Another addition: Swarm missles should propably have their size also listed as swarm size, not individual missles.
