Bottlenose improvement - Crusader4 - 12-12-2010
Since I have alot of free time now, I tougt about something.
Wouldn't it be great if bottlenose could get larger cargo hold(300)?
From tactical side, it would be possible to mount CAU8 and with it, bottle will have a max of 220k hull instead of current 165k...
Thougts?

it has a low cargo - so it cannot mount high tier CAU armour - that is a balance issue

The Bottlenose is an oversized fighter. 220 Cargo hold is more than enough.

It will be all cool until a group of good players gets 4-5 of these and annihilates everything in their path. Just saying that you should always consider you might end up fighting against the ship, as well as in it.

What are you talking about?
It has 55k hull as a base. :mellow:

His math is right. Nanobots repair hull, the armor multiplier is only accounted for when taking damage. The bottlenose would have 820k max effective armor. Current value is 615k if the best mountable armor multiplier is 3x.
For comparison, you have to do 443750 damage (or less, each bot usage will waste a fraction of a nanobot) to a Mafic SHF if you can't kill it instantly. This value for fighters is somewhere around 115k. (Accounting for 2.5x armor in both cases.)

I'm just saying that in fact it would strengthen the hull by 205k as opposite to 55k.

Get the Hacker Gunship, mount a cap 8, ??????, profit.
No doubt that will be nerfed too next release, but since that's years away, you should be safe:P

I might argue that the Hacker gunship is easier to hit, but that would be off-topic.
