|
chrono pod (class 3 ship)
this special prepared tanker that locks itself to the warp capable ship with a tractor beam. it is capable of transporting chrono-matter, which is used to speed up space travel.
it is very fragile.
chrono-matter is harvested from the chrono mine wich can be placed by any player who has a colony score of 10 or above (conquest + foundation).
the chrono pod can be evacuated only by the player who build the chrono mine.
if a colony is conquered all chrono pods and mines are destroyed.
if a chrono pod in a fleet gets shot it will be capture by the player who shot it .
you are free to trade chrono pods. just let them be shot by someone else.
attack/life: 0/10
buildingtime: 12 h
battle details:fights
(battle engine syntax: f)
if this ship gets destroyed it after the fight of each subbattle of your class 4 it creates 1 itself in the enemy fleet in the class it belongs and the created ship will stay in that fleet after battle.

Exactly how and by how much does "Chrono Matter" speed up space travel? Also, can it attach itself to ANY warp-capable ship including those outside of Class 4? Is this applicable for a ship that only create a warp feild for itself?

it doubles the speed.
it works with all warp types, not tested with single-warp-ships though. |

no,
you have to change course to start a crono boosted hyerjump, and each time, you change course you loose transwarp speed |

| If I am using a TWG or a MTWG or a Wormhole will the pod still boost my speed? |

Does any one know the answer to this question yet? I have no way of testing it right now, otherwise I would. Like, can you use a Chrono Pod to boost the speed of a Flying Saucer, and other ships of the like?
I feel that you should atleast be able to chronoboost a single-warp ship upon TAKEOFF.
