Interceptors

[Blaze]

I think two CDs will do. Yes we do need to increase the usability of the interceptors.

Just change the texture to make it red.

coolest interceptor ever would have 1 MR, 1 Class 10 gun and 1 TCd + mines, CM and thruster....

since that is not flood : i d say "no change to "interceptors" in that regard" - because:

- a fighter is not meant to stop a cruiser, - cause that is like a fighter is meant to engage a cruiser - and it was said many times.... that is not the case. capital ships fight capital ships, bombers ought to be capital ship support craft to assist other capital ships. - interceptors and fighters fight other interceptors and fighters and bomber. ( that just points at the example given - if the "role" of an interceptor is to attack and stop a cruiser, then the role of the cruiser is to engage that threat - which means...... justify the attack on a fighter )

- agility / size is unproportionally unbalancing over firepower and armour. a ship that is fast cannot be hit. a ship that cannot be hit can eat away a slower ship.... slowly but certainly. - such a fight might be utterly boring and take hours ( literally ) - but we have our rules in place ... nobody must leave a fight, once engaged... unless wanting to face a 4 hour locational ban.
if an interceptor can evade most attacks while doding, AND is able to catch up with anything + able to stop everything... you can get everything into a combat and simply draw the combat to unbearable length.

- interceptor is but a role given to a ship, which can be achieved by our existing equipment. - so you want a ship that can stop someone else and have an easier time hitting?

+ put a CD on your ship
+ add fast projectile weapons
+ add an enhanced thruster

you want a tank that dishes out well and is more defending?

+ put on a MR on your ship
+ add slow weapons with a heavy punch like missiles
+ add an armoured thruster on your ship or something that has more hitpoints than an enhanced

the differences are not huge - but we can make loadouts defining our ships already

even now we have people claiming they have destroyed VHFs in even an arrow in a 1 vs. 1 ... a situation that should not be extended.



edit: jokes aside - adding a cheap looking pimped up racing skin to a ship with a sleek shape ( without any changes to stats ) makes the ship feel faster indeed. - and people will swear that its more agile and quicker.

I'd have to say more ships like the arrow, and similar in stats. but no, a fighter should not be able to stop a cruiser. perhaps a rogue (not the faction, I mean a lone) fighter/bomber, but not a cruiser. What it sounds like you want is something more along the lines of a good support cruiser.

Haha, Make it Orky. Paint it blue for luck, and better aiming.

I play a game where you can upload own made skins for 'cars'.
Would be awesome to have that in discovery also but then for ships. but probably undo able, because it would need a big data base and each time you log on it would have to download all skins people made and if there are 200 people on the server and everyone made a skin you need to download for ages.

I am always a fan of interceptor classes ships. But actually they already exist. The light fighters they just CD a big ship evade their fire and wait for reinforcements.

Edit: Now I think about Im gonna make a freelancer skin for a car. The car in my avatar is also a skin made by me;)

I believe the official response would be this:

LFs are getting increased cruise speed as well as a bit better powercore.
Let's see how that works?

Funny, you started the thread that contained this as well Spazzaloughogus.
