fusion lancer

[tec_server]

fusion lancer (class 3 ship)

by the means of a thermotransmodulator, the fusion lancer creates a enormous white flame that engulfs it and powers it for multiple attacks, but with less power. as a result of this enormous energy, few of your ships are destroyed from the scorching heat.

The original idea was here:
http://forum.spacetrace.com/viewtopic.php?topic=1666&forum=26&9

but since nobody responded to it I just invented it.

There is one slight error in the battle syntax because it wouldn't let me put "Fusion Lancer" into the battle sytax due to the fact that it didn't exist while i was making it LOL
So, the "all" in the battle sytax should actually be "Fusion Lancer"

so it makes ap of one ship of your own weaker and fights and self-destruct one of your ships and redoes the process? what does shuffle do?

Well sort of. It attacks and then weakens itself then attacks and weakens itself again. All the shuffle does is keep it from attacking the same ship over and over. I'm not even sure i need it. the Admins have to try it out and see wat needs to be changed. Since the battle syntax is pretty confusing i don't even know myself
The thing i said about the "all"
""So, the "all" in the battle sytax should actually be "Fusion Lancer" ""
It can be fixed by putting "itself" instead

[BladeTech]

but it doesn't seem to say that it weakens itself

Do you see where it says, modifies ap? well you'll see it repeat itself several times. Thats where it weakens itself after each attack

[BladeTech]

i know but it doesn't specify ITSELF. that was the keyword...

lol so the repeater was your creation too? well i think that this invention is problie better than the repeater. but the destruction of another ship plus the weakening of ap makes this ship weak though, don't you think?

No Not at all. The cool thing about this ship is that its like havin 1 cruisers vs 1 cruisers.

First attack kills a cruiser, but lancer gets damaged. Then the second attack hits, but does not destroy and then lancer gets destroyed. But i it was to survive it goes for a third time, but you have to realize the ap has been going lower after each attack.
This is an interesting way for class3 battles and think about it! You can at least take down more class1 or 2 ships before it gets destroyed. Might as well take down 3 fighters than with 1 fighter with a cruiser

Admins I want this ship!!

[BladeTech]

i don't think you understand what i am saying.

this was what i've been wondering about:

[blackmagic]

As i said before, the "any" in the battle syntax needs to change, but here I edited it so the text of the battle syntax don't fit with the actual battle syntax. The purpose of this is to destroy another fusion lancer. After this battle syntax is if you survive and is able to attack again.

Oh i also thought of lowering the mp to about.....say..70 because it destroys 2 cruiser and then you lose 2 fusion lancers. The loss would be too much. There is a way to take advantage of the last battle syntax but that is for other people to find out =)

[darklim]

In less words, can you explain this?

lets see if i can put this in terms you may understand.
Lancer destroys cruiser
Cruiser damages Lancer
Lancer kills another Cruiser
Cruiser destoys Lancer
Lancer destroys one of its own ships.
Therefore, enemy loses 2 cruiser and you lose 2 Lancers or 1 Lancer and 1 cruiser

Does that help?

Oh, ok
But if that, you only need:
Destroy 1 ship in the same class in your own fleet
But it will make it too weak...
It cost is too high, 2 Cruisers can do the same thing

Think about it. can 2 cruisers destroy 6 other lower class before it gets destroyed? I say it a totally cool idea. Go down with a fight =) There is also an excellent strategy you could use with this, but thats for you to figure out
