havent seen a post about this here yet, so i thought id bring it up. (p.s. havent gone on sisi yet but alliance mates have and posted screens of the stats on the UK forums)
are these going to be 'Stealth' bombers? if so i say scrap the idea.... why fly a covert opps ship instead of a bomber? they should just be normal bombers imho... still i want one
CHANGE THE NAME OF THE MINMATAR ONE! HOUND is just stupid.... now... Manticore, that sounds badass, hound dosnt... i say name the minmatar bomber something simmiler to Breacher, because thats what its baced off..... decimator? except not as 'uber' sounding idk, think of names people  --------------------------------------
I saw a hobo once, he was holding a sign that said: Parents killed by ninjas, need money for samurai lessons.
i gave him everything i had.... i hope he killed those damn ninjas |

the stats don't show anything. Same reqs as covert ops but they have like 270 PG, kestrel version has 3 missle hardpoints and a low cargo capacity (150 or something). ________

They also heavy as a bricks, "kestrel" if like 2.8k tons. Speed of around 200. 5 highs. 5-2 and in between meds/lows.
Says that they have -90% cpu to the mods which require "advanced gunnery". Targeting around 60km.

I have an idea regarding bombers. Most likely the idea lab would be the better forum but here it is....
Most people think about bombers as improved missile boats. But bombs are not missiles. When I think about a bomb I usually think about weighty things that fall down from air planes (bombers) because of gravity (and because there is a war, argh). Of course there are 'stationary' bombs, too.
My idea about bombers is that they are ships that can drop the new weapon type bomb. In space there is no gravity (do not argue...) so it wont fall 'down'. A bomb doesnt have its own propulsion like missiles/torpedos so a bomb cant change direction. Speed and direction of the bomb is a result of the speed and direction of the bomber at the time the bomber dropped the bomb.

And these bombs do around 1k damage each, so a squad of them can be deadly to capital ships!
...sounds nice..^^

check out the stealth modules on the obex. its lists 4 sizes of mod to reduce your sig rad, but the large requires an awfull lot of cpu, maybe stealth bombers get a bonus to use these?
i think it was 250 cpu or something

hmm the placeholders only have limited stats so im sure they are still being tested, as for why get a covertops over a bomber, well you are forgetting the new bonus they get to probe launchers, Bombers will get no such bonus.

Edited by: Selim on 23/03/2005 02:43:11 Isn't it kind of getting old, how they keep making the caldari ones the best at what they are supposed to be doing?
Interceptors: Crow, its the second/third fastest overall inty after malediction and maybe crusader, with 3 midslots for web and scrambler
Assault frigates: Good damage over super range and decent resists
Covert ops: Most CPU and midslots
And now the bomber has the most missile slots? I mean, yeah, the caldari are supposed to be missile *****s, but when the WHOLE SHIP CLASS is apparently meant to be based on missiles, don't you think that precedent needs to be broken? At the very least, give the minmatar one the same amount of missiles... jeez.
Its like making a ship class entirely based on drones, and making all of them kinda crappy compared to the gallente one. It may seem OK but its not.
In this situation, they should be pretty equal. Differences being in order of HP - Minmatar, Gallente, Caldari, Amarr - speed being the opposite. Differences based on CPU and powergrid amount, lock range and sensor scan res, and something else too.
I also second the motion of changing the Hound's name... thats kinda lame.

Crow isn't that great, it has to use light missiles afterall, its fast but it has almost no HP, at all. Stilleto is much better for tackling. ------

Manticore Hull: Kestrel Class Role: Stealth Bomber Specifically engineered to fire cruise missiles, stealth bombers represent the next generation in covert ops craft. Advanced techniques in spatial distortion technology enable them to actually fly faster when cloaked than when uncloaked - a fact which, coupled with their considerable firepower, makes them extremely dangerous in the hands of an accomplished pilot. Developer: Lai Dai Lai Dai have always favored a balanced approach to their mix of on-board systems, leading to a line-up of versatile ships but providing very little in terms of tactical specialization. The Manticore, however, differs from other stealth bombers by virtue of its additional launcher hardpoint. Minmatar Frigate Skill Bonus: 19.65% reduction in Cruise Launcher powergrid needs and 5% bonus to Cruise Missile kinetic damage per level Covert Ops Skill Bonus: 5% reduction in Cruise Launcher powergrid needs and 25% bonus to cloaked velocity per level
CRUISE MISSILES ON FRIGS ARE BACK BABY????? ------

The Minmatar one isn't called the hound.
Minmatar: Dagger Gallente: Nemesis Amarr: Purifier Caldari: Manticore
Dagger is a rather fitting name, considering the err... cloak and dagger nature of the class.

no, I'm whining about the general dev mindset on the caldari. And apparently they have indeed given the caldari more missiles than the others... which is totally ridiculous considering the ship class is entirely meant for missiles.

Edited by: Pottsey on 23/03/2005 22:52:10 Only got time for 1 ship and as I like Gallente best here is the Nemesis
http://www.dissonance-corp.com/files/2005.03.23.22.40.52.jpg
As for the comments on everyone should have the same missile slots, as these are missiles ships, I donÆt agree. When we get drone ships I expect Gallente to have the most drone space and most bonuses same for missiles ships, Caldari should have the best missile ships or pure missiles ships. It makes sense to me that Gallente are not missile uses so I expect them to sneak in a few blasters. Balanced ships does not mean everyone has to be the same. One thing that does seem odd is these are the combat covert op ships yet they have less hull and shields then the scout covert op ships. _________________________________________________ Gallente defensive innovation comes from unexpected source. |
