Mk.II versions for all House ships for Discovery? - Igiss - 09-21-2005
This is a poll about Dab's and VladiC's idea of making Mk.II versions of all House heavy and light fighters. So we'll have, for example, a Bretonia Cavalier Mk.II capable of handling level 9 guns, and Crusader Mk.II capable of handling level 10 weaponry.
Idea seems very arguable to me for several reasons, but I'd like to hear opinions of other players about this. Vote.

Guys, u can read the arguments of the matter in the topic Thoughts on 4.76.
P.S. Thanks to Igiss for his co-operation in any way!

We should have MkII HF or make them VHFs as all level 10 ships are VHFs, but level 9 light fighters is overdoing it. Remember when you attack Alaska? Partriots with nomad weaps, they were hard enough with 20 people behind you. Now think of player controlled versions of those ships. It would completely disregard any VHFs from the game as nothing can hit the patriot more than a few times.
Another idea is that we have the gun that goes into the torpedo slot that does 17k dmg to shields we should also have one that does a little more than that for hull dmg like a gun like the shield gun that does 22k, becuase hulls are stronger than shields. I thought of this because of missile/torp immune zones on battleships.

1 - A High Yield Energy Cannon (HYEC) for mounting in the torpedo hardpoint. This kind of weapon should have a low refire rate (say 0.5), and moderate-to-high energy waste. Also the same price (or a little higher) than the torpedo launchers...
(i'm thinking in a pulse phaser emitter)
2 - A Mid Yield Energy Cannon (MYEC) for mounting in the corresponding level hardpoint, according to the damage it causes.

I find it a good compromise the desicion of making only the HF into VHF. Remembered the mission and had second thought on a 9lv light fighter.
But the other fighters should be made a MK2 version so, like i alredy sayed , pople can fly their favourite ships from the game everywhere.(i dont see me flyin' crusader in the omicron systems yet)

Yea nomad fighers are light and have only 3 weaps and they are hard enough and are NPCs.

Nomad's fighter is not enough powerful , it's true !
But I don't think it's a good idea to make MK2 of all ships ...
If you want firepower , trade a bit and buy the Eagle !

The idea here is to make the house ships more powerfull. So we can choose from a wider variety of ships instead of the same 3 VHF's.
In my opinion every ship should be able to mount any kind of weapons, but given the power output difference between HF, LF, VHF, only HF and abobe will be able to fire without exausting their weapons energy reserves too rapidly.
So, mounting lvl 9 or lvl 10 weapons in a liberty defender or a crusader will be a bad idea because you will run out of energy after 2, 3 shoots...

Hmm... this sounds like a fairly good idea. Reminds me of the Evolution mod, where they made a HVF for all the different houses. They looked different, and could mount just about everything. Perhaps not the Level 10, but level 9 and 8 (still nasty), and quite a few of them.
Why not? Although upping the light fighters is a bit silly. I think i'll pass on that part.
Only one amenment; Somthing to make them look different. Perhaps different colors, or something distinguishable. Otherwise, they're just suped-up versions of the same ships, and that's no fun. "Oh look! He's got a Valkyrie!" As opposed to, "OH F*CK! HE'S GOT A VALKYRIE MKII! RUN FOR IT!"
It's all in the presentation.
Mk.II versions for all House ships for Discovery? - Dab - 09-21-2005
Run?! Bah! Bring'em on!
And the VHF* on evolutions for lib is the sentinal level 9 and 10 which i have.
And power levels arent all that bad If Igiss makes new MkII fighters he can up the power to around the same as the eagle/sabre/titan depending on the amount of weaps it can carry.
