New Ship/Probe Types.

[paul]

the crystal thing sounds nice,
when can i test it ???

[spacetrace]

i need to thank you for your ideas !!!

so many brilliant ideas... i am impressed.

you can imagine that most ideas need to be programmed ( i already thought about some new routines, but it will surely take some time )


thx

Having had a conversation with penguin in irc last night, I would like to suggest instead of a newb helper ship,(Godfather) a better idea would be a defensive anti aircraft array (building class 4)could still kill 500 class one ships, but could not be moved off planet for attacks.Again it would self destruct after about 2 weeks. I suppose there could be various combinations of what it could hurt but I like to keep things simple.

We could call it the "R.J.Smith'Crisper'"

[RJSm1th]

The Crisper, I like it. However I think it should be a satalite controle center and should maintain a defencive orbit of satalites. Durring the first weeks of a players game it could provide 500 1/1 attack satalites. Later the building looses effecency due to Ionization of the atmosphear, space junk in low orbit, and plane old pollution. after the degrade it becomes 10 sats of 10/10. Sats would be replaced automaticly after every battle. The building in question would be somthing on the order of a 0/2000 in the first weeks and later a 0/1000 reguardless it would always be the first building hit by an attacking fleet.
Such a building with this type of varriable would help a Newbie and not be a cruch that is suddenly taken away when you have learn to relie on it.

Pretty good ideas but......they cant do all of this they have to pick a select few dont they? Oh well as the rounds go ny I guess they will gradually build bigger,smaller,and more effecient ships and probes! But I too like that newb helper idea it would provide some protection against others when your just starting.

Spector
Class 1
MP:200
Ap/Mp:0/1
Research Time: 48h
Building Time: 24h
Research needed: fanatic warfare
This ship destroys all class 1 ships(including your own) along with itself and any other Spector(s) in your fleet..(caution! self destruction!)

I still like my idea

What if the SPECTER were a Class 2 ship instead? then it would justify a larger man power. or possibly a class 3 ship. kinda like a smaller black hole ship from the class 4.

[RJSm1th]

the CRISPER.

I would think any planet that could send ships into space for distant exploration could provide for a home world defencive system too, the CRISPER is the answer to that.

It would kill the single ship kamakazi against the home world as the sats would take the blow planed for the planet, probes shold be able to detect the presence of armed/armored sats too. (Active Crisper/ no Active Crisper)and a DSP may be able to determine the level of activity (Active Crisper, Many Sats/ Few Sats).

dang i meant class 2 and i know my spelling thats how i spell it "Spector"

I like your crystal cruiser the best RJ!

[fatman666]

i like the cloak genartor

[Dougster]

The spector is too good. you would only put a few class one ships in your fleet and happily attack fleets with thousands.
I would like a retro ship that fires into class 2 from either classes 3 or 4 like the cyclops fires into class one.
