replacement BHG battleship

[Muleo]

You can't go compare ships to the juggy, you made that one too big:P

[Tic]

Still wish it was a big longer, but gotta say it looks good skinned.

Isn't 14 guns a bit overkill for a ship that small?

Nop. Thats because it's artillery ship. And it isn't that small...

[Muleo]

so.. if you haven t felt overpowered much by the current BHG battleship... you will certainly not feel by that one. its a straight downgrade ( to what feels a little better ) - and its now "only" 6 times smaller than a zoner juggernaut:laugh:

why nerf it though? BHG bs was a pretty decent/balanced ship as it was

[Jinx]

i know - well - the jugs job is to intimidate more than to overpower:)- and ... size does matter. - no one is intimidated much by an osiris or a BHG battleship. - but an outcast dread, a zoner jug or xings liberty carrier will make attackers get stunned in awe. - simply cause you feel so dwarfed ( until you realize that you simply cannot miss them with a supernova - even if you try to )

edit: well other than the size... those large battleships get some super extra bonus in 4.85, too - but still... the small BBs are supposed to be the high tech ones. - ahh... now we just gotto nerf the supernova down to a projectile speed of 1 and a damage of 10.

@Tic: easy to change - its the cockpit/corona.ini for the turret cam - and the shiparch for the chaseview ... doesn t need a wipe ( as a matter of fact, only very few things require a wipe )

@Orin Hasting: Arcs:

14 forward
12 backward
8 left/right
13 up/down

@whoever else suggested it:
the engines are now reversed ... the longest is the topmost, and they get shorter the lower they are. ( can t see it properly on the pics )

Looks really nice now. Great work.

And how are the fire arcs backwards now, again? All foward with 360, so nothing backwards?

[Tic]

Also Jug is Zoner ship, it is only supposed to fight nomads.

But imo Zoner Jug should have 650k armor and 18 turrets with 100 bots/bats..

@Orin

Arcs:

14 forward
12 backward
8 left/right
13 up/down

[Orin]

12 backward? Ehh... That really doesn't fit an assault ship.

[Tic]

It isn't assault ship, it's artillery ship.

You know, fire from long distance, turn around and hope your opponent wont catch you.

It depends on how good the bomber pilot is and how big your ego is. You can use it to warp space so the Supernova curves and misses. Or just use strafe:laugh:

What constitutes a super extra bonus is a very subjective affair, particularly concerning just who's getting what bonus. Mjolnir.

As for the Supernova nerf, I'll drink to that.

And the BHG Battleship isn't traditionally flown in turret if the pilot is smart...he or she uses their maneuverability to keep their front profile small. So, it's a moot point. As long as all the turrets fire forward we'll be happy campers.

Quick comment - we thought that Panzer was the Leader, Swift. -Agmen

Which Dreadnought was that?

One of your nine.

Umm.... I dunno about that. Tiny, good firepower, not so great a hitbox...




Well, I'd drop the rear firing turrets to 10, myself. However, it's nice with the 8 side turrets, and larger side target it poses. Now you have to get it from the side. I don't much like the big hangar on it, but other than that, it looks awesome.
