| Summary | 0021671: Suggestion for siege frigate variants | ||||
| Description | Background/Problem: concussion needs more robust options, it's a bit stale compared to the other techs and doesn't compete as well with fusion for clearing out defensive structures Have some concepts for siege frigate variants: 1) Inferno: Missle battery that combines concussion and MLRS to take out large swaths of low armored units and doing bonus damage to weak enemies. Hits X targets for Y damage. This siege tank focus on AOE and mobile strike craft, other stats mostly identical to siege starship otherwise 2) Ion Discharger: Weapon fires a single target ion discharge that deals bonus damage to structures as well as a short paralysis. In addition, all nearby structures (ideal aoe is enough to get all the turrets surrounding a guard post if the guidepost was the target). This applies the saboteur mechanic as an artilerly weapon, making it a strong alternative to bomber/assault frigate strategies 3) Beam Frigate: Human version of the beam slapped on a siege frigate. I think people would enjoy more beam shenanigans in general (I do for sure), and frigates are capped severely anyway so wouldn't get out of hand | ||||

Devastator is turned into the Inferno, more or less. Ion Disruptor is a new one. Beam...I am really conflicted on it being a Concussion, as by all rights it should be a Splash, so leaving it for now. May find something else...got one idea in mind. |

Don't think I ever encountered the original devastator (surprisingly), ion disrupter should be fun and hopefully open new techniques for dealing with static defenses other than fusion weapons! I absolutely get the problem with beam frigates being concussion--Splash makes the most logical sense and I don't think they even have frigates associated with that tech currently (Hmmm, a Tesla Frigate sounds pretty cool actually...) |

The original one was just half damage, 100% shield bypass. Fairly boring. Might stick some of that onto the Disruptor just so it's kinda still there. |
