Yeah, I like the Typhon, Hatshepsut and Demon because they have missile turrets that can be reconverted into torpedo banks or else.

I wouldn't be surprised if BP Hatties and Typhons got something better than Fusion Mortars or Fighter Killers.

[Snail]

So, the Typhons are going to be buffed up like the Carthage?

Probably, or else they'd die instantly. If nothing else they'd get armor.tbl stuff.

[MatthTheGeek]

We know that with the Eos and the Supernova, the technology for capital ship torpedoes is here. And we know with the Hattie that shows up in WiH1 that the Zods have already quite retrofitted even recent destroyers (pulse turrets).

[crizza]

A Typhoon would require more turrets...if you would convert the four fighter killer into torpedo launchers...well, try it in fred

[swamper123]

Just Perfect ,with this features I will wait for the game as long as necessary . 

[Insomniac34]

this is amazing

[Droid803]

The main problem with Typhons is that they didn't mix well with beams.
I would presume that any potential typhon appearance would have it be some sort of Torpedo Boat.

[crizza]

If there would be torpedo launchers fitted into the fins, it would work as a torpedo destroyer...
but in fred, I always give a Typhon Ultra AAAs...I know, this is not the right thing, but only with them, the ship stands a chance.

[Flak]

If you ask me, the Typhon need 1 more beam, and just replace that pair of blob turrets with more AAAs or pulse weapons, and maybe something else like torpedoes.

[Droid803]

No man, it'll be 50% long range flaks and 50% supernovas.

[Ypoknons]

Maybe it'll be some sort of massive electronics warfare platform or a FS equivalent of an assault landing ship. (edit) Or a SSM boat.

[-Sara-]

Typhons could easily play a large variety of roles other than that of a destroyer. Anything from cargo duty to fighter carrier to mobile base is possible, given that while they are an obsolete design they are still large and capable vessels.

[Destiny]

Typhon logistics destroyer.




...uhh...

[Snail]

what's wrong with the tawaret

[Raiden]

So it looks like the opening of R2 will be the battle taking place around Neptune during Delenda Est...very cool. And the Fedayeen undertaking a special op to take back Europa? Involving a sabotage mission in Jupiter's atmosphere? I am down for that. When you guys first mentioned a 'hub' mission I originally imagined Noami would be able to use her new quantum device to return to the red nebula Ken appeared in, and be able to converse with him and perhaps receive cryptic info and such. Sounds like what you've actually got in mind is a lot more ambitious. Can't wait for the finished product. Can we expect any more previews of this sort, perhaps as you come close to finishing Act 4 and then 5?

[Dragon]

It's not really a sabotage mission, but something far more awesome.
And you're right about the "hub" mission. It is also something more ambitious (and awesome).
As for previews, I don't know for sure, but the team will be doing as much as possible to keep you hoping you had a time machine to skip forward to the new release. 

[PsychoLandlord]

Ohhhhhh. Didn't even think about the ken-nebula, been so caught up in the more terrestrial aspects of the war that I completely forgot about the Alien gods playing with Humanity. Very cool.

Just out of curiosity, how much time will be spent jumping POV's in R2, or is it just  a one-off thing in a few missions ala AoA?

[swamper123]

I didn't understand the hub mission, It will be like a ''freelancer bar'' style , or something like that? ^^

[crizza]

The Hub mission reminds me of the different parts of the Hyperion in Starcraft 2.

[General Battuta]

It will not be as cool or immersive as the Hyperion bar or the bars in Freelancer - we can't render people or rooms, just spaceships.

It will, however, make fictional sense in the setting.
