Well this is more of a basic ship. Apollo cruisers and cyclops are specialzed in attacking certain classes, but wouldn't you like it if you Lancer can hold up against more fighters and take down 3 of them instead of a regular cruiser that can only destroy 1 fighter.
I feel this would add more variety. People who use apollo cruisers or cyclops or dreadnoughts may not want to use this ship as a combo in fear of getting it destroyed, but people who have a defensive or in some cases offensive fleets with just cruisers and Lancers, that works too.

I looked at a past invention and I kinda like this ship better now that i understand it more than i did before.

This is a good combo ship with some luck involved. I'll give 2 scenarios. Also I'm goin to add the new battle syntax below to balance it some more

SCENARIO 1
You are fighting against a medium sized class 2 fleet say 60. So this ship a total of 2 times. Tat means you can use 30 of these ship to destroy 60 class 2 destroyers with 3 lancer losses. Meanwhile after each subsequent fight one of your class 3 ships loses AP. Although the class 2 battle was one sided, if the enemy has any size of a class 3 it will take generally 2 of you class 3 ships to destroy 1 enemy cruiser.

Class2
enemy 60 destroyer vs you 30 lancers
losses:
enemy- 60 destroyers
you- 3 Lancers
Score: 255

Class 3
A)
enemy 16 cruisers vs 26 Lancers <-- in random probablity it is possible that all 26 lost LP. That mean you can only destory 13 cruisers.
losses:
enemy-13 Cruisers
You- 16 Lancers
Score : -580

B)
enemy 7 cruisers vs 26 Lancers <-- in random probablity it is possible that all 26 lost AP.
losses:
enemy-7 Cruisers
You- 7 Lancers
Score : 175


SCENARIO 2
You are using something like a swank fleet. The battle syntax states that a random class 3 ship will lose AP. So, Imagine you have a Lancer and some apollo cruisers. Lancers end up modifying apollo cruisers who already don't have any AP. That means Lancers have a better chance in attacking enemy class3 ships at full AP.

enemy 30 cruisers vs 15 Lancers
enemy 8 cruisers vs 8 apollo cruisers
In an ideal situation there somehow the lancers only modified the apollo cruisers
losses:
enemy-30 cruisers
80 destroyers
you- 8 apollo cruisers
15 Lancers
score: 1165

ON THE OTHER HAND in a nonideal it can look something like this

enemy 20 cruisers vs 10 Lancers
10 cruisers vs 5 Lancers <-- these 5 lost AP due to the fight above
so you can only destroy 4 cruisers
8 cruisers vs 8 apollo cruisers
losses:
enemy- 24 cruisers
80 destroyers
you- 15 Lancers
8 apollo cruisers
Score: 125

It can go into the negatives. Its all about luck on which ships get modified!! ^____^ how fun! RISK! Like the lotto. you can win much big or lose mucho big.





Fusion Lancer (class 3 ship)


invented by Blackmagic of Shadowball

attack/life: 101/101 <-- Wondering whether to set AP to 101 or 100
manpower: 85

researchtime: 2 d
buildingtime: 12 h


nanite-technology
needed research:
TO BE DETERMINED

battle details:

1. fights
(battle engine syntax: f)
2. modifies AP/LP by -1/0 of 1 ship of any ship-type in your own fleet in class 3
(battle engine syntax: mod,self,1,3,all,+,-1,0)
3. shuffles all ships in your class 3 that still did not fight
(battle engine syntax: shuffle,self,3)
4. fights
(battle engine syntax: f)
5. modifies AP/LP by -2/0 of 1 ship of any ship-type in your own fleet in class 3
(battle engine syntax: mod,self,1,3,all,+,-2,0)


SO........ If you bothered to read that and "UNDERSTOOD" Plz tell me wat i have missed!! Maybe there is still some tweaking needed

you're not getting it. By lowering your own class 3 ship's AP, the modified ship can't destroy another class3 ship. Basically you have 1 ship doin the job of 2 and hopefully not getting it destroyed on the 1st hit.

that 1165pts was in the most ideal situation for yourself. I know the battle sequence is wrong. Its just a summary. Just makes it easier to explain. If your the unluckest person then all the lancer might have modified other lancers. in that case your @#%^#%$#^. Its a gamble like i said.

Yes you can input 2 fight commands. The shuffle is used so that the lancer will not attack the same ship twice -__- or i least i hope so. Just think of it as a beefed up cruiser/ plasma emitter.
