| Summary | 0023627: Missing Melee frigate | ||||
| Description | One thing that was noticed while making starting fleet was that Melee tech has no Frigate type. Ambush could also use another given how rare bounty hunter is to find. Not pressing, but something for post DLC2 to work on. | ||||

This is on the ZO beta wiki but makes sense to add here. These concepts try to address the overall weaknesses of the melee tech -- these ships tend to die en masse are many ships are sacrificial in nature (from the self-damaging gangsaws to the self-destructing auto bombs and company). Melee lack any units with high survivability, so my melee frigate concept aims to remedy this. I also had an idea for a new melee strike craft that compensates for the general sacrificial nature of the other melee units (for what it's worth, I really like this concept) Moreover, this is strikecraft answer to super units (which all techs should have) Ninja (Melee Frigate) Cloaked frigate with NO base weapons. However, launches special torpedos -- "corrosive shurikens" that deal high base damage to a single target (preferably guardian+) and minor AOE acid damage to nearby units. Shurikens are IMMUNE to gravity effects and are high speed. Mosquito (Exsanguinator) Melee swarmer ship (for players/AI) that has "reverse" death grip-harmonic tractor beams. The idea is that it only can tractor super units (mass >= 5tx) but the super unit can move as normal, the mosquitoes are stuck to it. The mosquitos get the death grip and harmonic bonus so they do deal a lot more damage when they swarm the same unit. |
