Mortars

[Jamez]

Hi everyone, Jamez here.

I use a gunboat ALOT. I love them.

I'd like to be able to use the light mortar but i cant. It uses 500k energy, gunboats have 300-400k energy.

My proposal is have a mortar for each class of ship.

Light Mortar - Gunboats - use 350K energy.
Mortar - Cruisers - use 450K energy.
Heavy Mortar - Battleships - use 550K energy.

I need feedback from igiss on this idea.

Thanks for reading.

Sound good but that would be not a gunboat any more.

Instead maybe make an Adv one with the name TorpedoBoat that has anough energy 2 use the light morters.

Sledge... What a good idea. Anti BS torpedo boat. Lightly armed exept the torpedos
and possibly quicker, or more manouverable to counter its vunerability.
A get in fast... Hit your target... Get out fast type of craft..... Nice

Yes the mortars do need reduced energy consumption (usage). I think Igiss said he was reducing it but I'm not sure. But yeah the heavy mortars take so much energy i can only shoot 2 torps, but thats fine since they do tons of damage. But the lights were made to be used on gunboats but are too high for it to even shoot once. Lights need slight damage reduction and energy consumption. normal mortars are for cruisers but I havent heard of any complaints about those being to energy consumptious. I might test that sometime.

I'd just point at Mortar (all mortars) uselessness against the Battlestar Advanced

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

THANK you Dab. I don't want to have to buy a torpedo boat just to use a mortar.

Nice idea sledge but i dont like Specialised ships.

But only 2-4 turrets so there would be no use for them except BR or Infernos... I don't think this will ever happen though.
