We're going to charge it head-on with full power maximum destruction!

Such a bad idea...

[Deadly in a Shadow]

We're going to charge it head-on with full power maximum destruction!

Uhm, the Nelson tried this if you know what I mean, with full power maxim thrust.

[Snail]

The black ops gunboat variant carries forward-firing Gattlers and a mass driver.

The man is not joking about this. Dakka dakka. More than enough if you're on the receiving end.

[Destiny]

I don't recall what the Nelson is, but...

We're going to charge it head-on with full power maximum destruction!

Such a bad idea...

The design of the ship is really, really...sleek. It's practically a perfect ship gunship-ish design that entirely caters to my taste. I can't wait to be flying near/with it. I like that ship a lot, so I'll befriend the Custos, lots and lots!

Zenryoku zenkai~!

[starlord]

who needs a normandy?

[crizza]

The mass effect thing?^^

[PsychoLandlord]

Are these forward Gattlers the stock variant or the SuperGattler on the Solaris? The former is going to kill you, but the latter is going to kill you faster, and I think thats a distinction we need to make here, for Destiny's sake

Either way, wonderful amounts of Dakka on that little boat.

[starlord]

true!

I wonder how reapers would fare in there...

[crizza]

Well...the Gattler Turrets of the Solaris have a range of 4400...as oposed to a Terslashblue with 6500...
But since there ar no ships mounting this things on their prow turrets...it will give the Tevs a run for their money, if their beams are jammend...given that is it a black ops, this will surely happen^^

[Fury]

4400 is range of lifetime, targeting range is 4000. Terslashblue has range of 4500. Note the +Weapon Range set in all weapons.

[crizza]

My bad, bust still, my example works or not?

[-Norbert-]

There are the torpedoes and the massdriver to consider though, along with all the electronic warfare equipment.

who needs a normandy?

The Fedayeen and the SOC, seeing how it can almost completely disappear from sensors for hours and can make FTL jump without utilizing subspace.

For my sake...? Nah, you don't have to...because it's my playstyle to go full power maximum destruction. Salute me if you would, but you should salute the ship because my Trebuchets will knock out the forward guns while I go BOOSTO with all guns blazing to Maxim range.

[MatthTheGeek]

The escort will tear you apart long before that.

[Destiny]

Without actually experiencing it myself, I can't say I'm intimidated by either the escorts or the Custos. So I'll be patient and wait for the release.

All because the Custos is a pretty aesthetically appealing ship to me.


Although, I was half-hoping the GVCv Dashor to jump out and save the Carthage, because they happened to be deployed together in that particular mission in FS2. A silly thought, isn't it.

[MatthTheGeek]

Well, last time I checked, the Dashor was still a single Sobek. Against 4 Karunas and escort. It would just have been one more corvette to the UEF killboard.

[Destiny]

While the Karunas were busy pulverizing the Carthage while the Dashor jumped in from side/behind and started to VSlash? Snap, forgot to mention that. Still, I've no indication as of R1 that the UEF as a whole and individual pilots/captains themselves, would treat Vasudan vessels as hostile targets, without provocation. Naturally in this case the UEF'll shoot at the Dashor, but...well.

[X3N0-Life-Form]

UEF frigate have a nasty tendency to win against any GTVA corvette from any angle, apart maybe from sath-killing corvettes coming from behind.

The black ops Custos is shielded and can fire countermeasure swarms, so neither Maxim nor Treb would be very effective.

Want to fly it more and more every time I read this thread.
