| Summary | 0021094: Stronger spire frigates | ||||
| Description | Spire frigates seem pretty worthless in comparison to other types of fleets, especially since they count the same toward the "too many fleets on one planet" cap. They'd need to be a lot stronger in order to be worth paying attention to. | ||||

I wouldn't boost the Lance focused Frigate. I've seen that thing murder hundreds of AI ships in seconds by itself numerous times. It would be the secondary weapons I'd boost probably. |
|
|
Gave them a minor durability increase and 50% damage increase on the secondary weapons. They're also faster. I want to see the variants a bit more myself before doing more than that for now. |
|
|
Sounds good, I'm excited to try them! |
|
|
I've not had much success with the Lance frigate. Perhaps because I rely on autotarget and autokite especially versus armor piercing foes. It just dies so quickly. |
|
|
Humm, I've always had it do fairly well without really micromanaging it. Interesting to hear. I'll keep an eye on the thing. EDIT: After reading that I gave them a bigger health boost. It's not super amazing, but I'll look into the health of these centrepieces next time I have a test session. That seems to come up often. |
|
|
I've attached a save with the current game I have with the Lancer if you want to check to see if I'm generally ineffective with the ship or there is something I'm overlooking. Compared to my other fleets, I leave the Spire ship at home to dust bookshelves. |

Ah, thank you. I would note that's not the Lancer - they all have a Lance weapon, but the "Lancer" I refer to is one with three beams instead of one plus a secondary weapon. You have one of the other types. Saying that...that weapon could be improved a lot. |

I got my hands on a laser frigate in my latest game and it's feeling a lot better to use. At first I was kind of disappointed still because I was expecting something along the lines of the Fallen Spire from the first game, but I think a more reasonable expectation is somewhere between the lower-end FS ships and the spire fleetships you got from asteroids. With that comparison in mind I'm pretty happy with where spire frigates are right now! |
