holo-clone-ship
holo-clone-ship (class 2 ship)
Makes a holographic clone of the actual enemy ship.

For example:

Your clone ship fights against a cruiser.
1.Your ship clones the cruiser
2.your cloned ship , in this case the cruiser will do all a cruiser does: it intercepts a torpedo and shoots 100 damage points at the actual enemy ship
3. after this the clone effect ends and it will turn the cruiser back into a 0/5 holo clone ship

Attack/life: 0/5
Manpower: 12

Researchtime: 2 h
Buildingtime: 13 h


e-ray-Technology
Needed research:
holo technology

Battle details:
clones the enemy ship that is the actual target
battlemessage: "clone-ship clones ... ships"
(battle engine syntax: clone,clone-ship clones)

Lord Philemon: "holo-clone-ship
makes a holographic clone of the actual enemy ship."



Do the clones already act in the battle or/and do the ships stay cloned? Do they also clone ap and lp and special abilities?
Frederik: I think the clone ship becomes identical to the ship it is cloning, but only for the actual battle.
littleraven: i think it clones to look like the enemy and then does not fight
admin: @littleraven: that wrong.


the clone is exactly the same like the ship that was cloned and is does fight.
God: I don't get it!!!
so a fleet with clone ship will fight like normal fleets so what is diffrent between having clone ship and not having it?!

Lord Philemon: For example:

Your clone ship fights against a cruiser.
1.Your ship clones the cruiser
2.The enemy cruiser destroyes your clone ship
3.You still have the cruiser (only for this battle) that you have cloned, it will destroy the enemy cruiser

Captain Starlight: That's it in a nutshell
Lord Philemon: Umm... will you keep the holo-clone ships after a battle? Or are they lost?
limsky: Who choose what to clone :smile:5
admin: the cloneship does not selfdestruct, so if it is not shot, you will keep it.

and you cannot control wich ship wil be cloned. it is always the next ship in the battle order.
this should be part of the tactical plans
limsky: By the way what is the battle order? From most attacking power, most shield or most manpower? What happen if it clone another holo-clone-ship :smile:5
Captain Starlight: @admin I dont think you are correct, I have used cloneships, and I have never kept a cloned ship, regardless of the battle.
Lord Philemon: @Captain: You don't keep the cloned ship but the holo-clone ship (keeping the cloned ship would be a too cheap way to get ships...).

@limsky: How battles work (I think including the battle order) is shown in the manual under "Battles".
Iain: say the cloned ship does not get destroyed in battle....

but dissapears at the end of the battle, do you lose any points?
lufect: if the clone ships get destroyed do you lose the points
al12: The clone ship can't get destroid because it is a holographic clone, you will only loose points if youre actuel holo-clone-ship that makes the clone gets destroid.
Cloudgatherer: I've seen this question from one of Senor's old posts but never seen it answered:

Can a Holo-Clone-Ship clone a DA? :)23
Cloudgatherer: "Can a Holo-Clone-Ship clone a DA? "


Upon further testing, I found Holo-Clones CAN clone a DA, but only if they target the DA first, otherwise they get stuck behind the other buildings.

Nifty trick but hard to apply in actual battle.
vyor: nice!
