Marsflyer

[Horon]

I was dinking around in single player earlier. Having fun mixing parts of ships with each other with Ioncross CE. I decided to use an Arwing and Marsflier. I went to Battleship Isis to buy a Marsflyer. Nothing strange there. I bought it, and undocked. I tested the weapons on the Nomads flying around.. The odd thing is, that my energy went down to ZERO in about...I don't know... half a second? Maybe this is what they meant when they said they balanced the Marsflyer. Still, this seems really....Wrong...

Well, the thing is, people were using Marsflyer guns on transports...so their energy usage got upped. A lot. That was my understanding, anyway.

Thats correct. However, they decreased the damage that those turrets do as well. Besides, the Marsflier used to be able to fire its guns for quite a while. This...is no where near where it was once at...

EDIT: That, and the fact that the guns state that they use hardly any energy at all....Seems kinda like a joke to me. Might not use much energy compared to the ship, but that doesn't mean the ship has alot of energy to begin with..

Don't forget, a gunboat can do circles around it.... And I used to fly one when it wasn't a bad ship...

They really should just increase the ship's powerplant. I've only seen two Marsflyers in my time here, it would be nice to see if somebody can come up with a Roleplay reason to use them, if they were actually worth something.

while i think them marsflyer is quite a nice ship ( custom sound for example - an example how much you can actually modify FL ships ) it allways caused raised eyebrows. it was allways considered out of roleplay - no matter what faction you were using.

i guess its one of the ships being replaced by something else soon anyway - ( allthough i like the sound / engine ) - it is useless now, - so in addition not to fit into roleplay it is now utterly useless, too. works for the mod though.

besides - i d love to know how to do custom engine effects/sounds - a zoner ship ( a real FL design ) with such effects would be awesome - instead of the common thrusters ( if we take the "this is an alien design" - stuff serious.... if there have been so many different aliens in sirius - and a ton of the ships utilized by humans now - why not use such an effect for .... maybe a new capship. )
