Captain Starlight: This is a curious ship.
what happens, when there is a class2 v 3 battle, and your class 2 has holoclones, do they fight or are they self destructed??.

I think Black Mobile would want this ship very much.
DaBlackMoB: like this:

:wink:

limsky: Compared to Carrier which has warp of 1 this ship is too fast.Can the ship be carried by the mothership as a lifecraft? Someone may suggest a similar ship that can carry only class 2 and class 3 ships.
Captain Starlight: Hey, a liferaft, theres an idea!!!
Captain Starlight: I just submitted a ship, using the lowrider as a liferaft, and @admin sorry, I forgot the trigger. Oops
Lord Philemon: That's actually a cool ship :smile:
The only thing is:
-the enemy needs only 1 class 1, 1 class 2 and 3 class 3 ships to destroy the lowrider
-Using the syntax like it is shown you could actually have class 3 ships in it, only in a battle they would be destroyed.
IceZoo: ". if a lowrider is involved in a battle, it will obliterate all class 3 and all other class 4 ships in your fleet."

What about the enemy's fleet?ill it obliterate the class 3 and 4 ships too?
darklim: That is a suicide ship.
adamx17: The use for this ship is rapid deployment of class 1 and 2.
darklim: Fast deployment of class 1 and class 2.
Interesting
Will be added to my fleet configuration

Seee with a fllet with a lot of class 1 and class 2 with only 1 cruser u can use this ship. because maybe u always lose the crusero but with the lowrider, u can send ur fleet and her arrive more fast and in the battle u no lose point. the problem is cant be used twice time. of coure yes but if u fight class 2 vs class 2 is stupid!!, maybe 4000 kamikazes.. aprox!!!!!! so u can send the fleet with the lowrider and arrive fast but have 80 mp more of the mothership, the problem is if is detsroyed, because if u cant have cruseros, u always need another mother, if is used with a pirtae flague ship is good so u can have 3 battles in a day.
Lou of East from West: So, "if a lowrider is involved in a battle"

that means u have to shoot on it,
for instance if ms attack lowraider, nothin happen?
(standard class 4 battle)
But Timesliper kills shit in him?
JaM: If a class 4 battle happens it will destroy your whole fleet because a battle stop when all ships got their turn of either fleets are destroyed. So by a ms vs lowrider, the lowrider will get his turn and will destroy class 3.
Lou of East from West: and not killing him self (class 4)?
JaM: I don't think so. It oliberates all class 4 ships except itself of course.
Look at the commando fighter: it kills all commando fighters and self destruct.
But I never used a lowrider.
darklim: It kill everything of class 3 and class 4 except itself
But is a nice ship
We are Bjork: The lowrider can carry class 3, but if it is involved in a battle you lose all class 3 and 4.

So if you have one cruiser and the fleet fights you lose your class 3 and 4.

Warning, do not leave in base!!!
Metody I The Evil: And to think that long ago I met someone who used it to pull a Doomstar...

Lucky bastard - the Doomstar went off killing my poor cruiser, before the lowrdirer could destroy it :lol:

An Fast and Deadly Doomstar, because the Lowrider destroy the ships in class 4 battle
And the Doomstar fight in class 1
Metody I The Evil: So, I think that you're trying to tell us that when class4 fights, it's not a class4 fight :grin: I couldn't agree more, I always thought that only destroyers vs destroyers is a class4 fight... :lol: Sheesh...

And, you could check out the penguin-recycle BR /since u're digging up old topics and stuff :wink: /, to see that when class4 fights, it's a class4 fight :lol:
