| Summary | 0000226: Multigun Frigate | ||||
| Description | With the AI command carrier and its swarms of AI drones looking to make it into DLC, and an offical add-on focusing primarily upon spammable ships for carriers round the corner, it looks like we're going to needing some more antiswarm up in this boy- which seems like a great oppourtunity to see one of my favorite ship types ever, of all time, ported to AI war, because there is nothing cooler than watching heavy ships with lots of independantly firing weapons ploughing through a horde of spam. * frigate class; likewise speed and vulnerability to bombers as missle frigate * considerably tougher than the missile frigate at perhaps 200% the HP * Short range weapons- not much larger than fighters- qualifies the boost in toughness * Has a shell weapon that fires multiple powerful projectiles, maybe 8/12/16/24/30 shot (increase with MK) balanced against a fairly long reload * Projectiles are very effective against swarm, teleport raider and fighter types, ineffective against shields or units capable of skirmishing out of range the result would be a decidedly defensive unit- lacking the speed and range to actively engage fighters, but able to match speeds with the fleet missle frigates and starships to provide close support against carrier drones, fighters and other annoying types. Infact, considering the size of the sprite there, it might be cool to make it a heavier fleet ship type (ie, lower shipcap greater individual power).

For 5.064: * Another new Ancient Shadows bonus ship class has been added: Spire Railcluster (Mark I-V). ** Large Spire fleet ship mounting multiple short-range railcannons. Highly effective against very small ships. ** Thanks to superking for the idea that inspired this. And thanks for re-entering it here so it didn't get lost :) |
