SHF Balance

[Rudo]

Plus tranny turrets are so strong now, GB turrets are actualy about the same strength, weaker in some cases.

transport 3 turret - 1k range, 1050 per second hull, 525 per second sheild.

Gunboat basic turret - 798 range, 700 per second hull, 350 per second sheild.

Transport 3's have a 2.00 refire. GB Basics have 4.00.

That means they do 2100 damage per second, while the GBs do 2800.

Ah, my bad, was readin basic stats from datastorm.

MORE reason to not give the s patian a transpor turret, too powerful. Not sure how much power a spatail has, havent looked in ages, but it could proably support a cerebus. Prehaps just make a 'GB turret only, no cerebus razor pulse or missle' rule

That, or code in a single permamounted basic GB turret that cant be dismounted. Itd complete the look, add something a tad more special, but not overpower it.

This will create the most work, but will solve the problems of what type turret to put on it - make a ship specific one for it like slave liner turrets or stem guns:

Spatial primary turret - lvl6, x hull, y sheild, z energy, 4 refire (or whatever it is so it syncs up with vampires)

I like the idea, but I honestly doubt it will be implemented. That was the reason why I didn't bring the idea up when I had it ages ago...

Crazy Proposal:

Bump up SHF armor to a minimum of 69000, thus allowing them to barely survive a direct hit from a SNAC but not a Nova Torpedo when packing a Universal VIII armor kit.

Pro Balance Arguments:
- Ordinance will still quickly strip them of all weaponry rendering them useless
- A SNAC plus a missile and/or razor hit to the hull will still wreck them
- They'll burn through regens that much more quickly if SNed

Negative Balance Arguments:
- Who heard of a fighter having 69000 armor?
- SNACs are hard to aim with, you noob
- for that matter, stop biasing toward your faction you stupid powergamer


Anything I'm missing?

EDIT: Yes, I have thought of the horror of trying to fight a 200m/s 170000 armor quasi-bomber. I just threw this out there to see if it'd get anyone thinking of less stupid solutions than this one.

I'm willing to agree with this, but what do you want a SHF to do?

Myself, I had this crazy idea.

I think that a lot of people would use SHF's primarily for RP purposes, but there should be something that they're good at

Eh. Couldn't tell you the amount of time I've seen a Spatial with 5+ missile launchers. The thought of that plus enough armour to survive a SNAC scares me. Probably still easy enough for a Bomber to kill, but what about a fighter?
They'll be stronger than Gunboats/Ships, probably.

There'd need to be a lot of tweaking. Reduce its plant a bit more to 36000 and make it only able to fire Nova Torpedoes, for one. If not that, reduce its speed to 160-170 on thrusters to account for the extra mass.

Really, I just threw that idea out there. And yes, it'd make them a bit imbalanced in the scheme of things.

The super-armor fighter is an idea on the border of crazy and good. If you have an idea that's a bit further from the foul line by all means post it.

I fly a Mjolnir for the RFP. I kinda like it. but when facing a fighter pilot who knows what he`s doing it will be returned to scrap quite fast, despite all the B&B en heavy armor.

it`s manouverability is its achiles heel. mines and snacs can hit it quite easily. a SHF has to joust a lot when fighting smaller craft so hitting it with dead-on weapons is easy.

also, about the snac: leave it. at least on the Mjonir. that tub needs it to be able to stop smugglers in trains etc. I don`t see a smuggler cowering in fear when I fire a slow-as-hell torpedo at him. and the snac is neccesary to fight pirates in GB`s and bigger when the RM is still snoozing (lazy gits:rolleyes:)

Meh all fighters should have as much hull as what their total Hull+bott is worth... and carry around only some 10 botts for repairs...

I just thought of my spatial with a trans turret and lolled. It would be pretty worthless on a shf because it would throw your aim off. But a fun idea none the less. I would equip one.
