I find it really ridiculous that battleships (or dreads even) only have 8 or so hardpoints. The thing is miles long, has hundreds of teraflops of CPU power, and yet only has 8 hardpoints?
Why cant an apoc have, say , 32 hardpoints? Or 12 for cruisers? For balance, large guns would use 4 hardpoints while medium guns 2 hardpoints.

They are balanced, compare the powergrid requirements between the various levels of guns. Although I think you can fit a cruiser gun on a Retribution with the help of some MAPCs. ___________________

YES!!! yes... i see it now... ravens with 32 slots... BUT and heres the best part... make every turret there is now, take 4 times as many... oh wait... that doesn't change anything... Takin a break from Freedom Fighting for the moment, but a Freedom fighter at heart.
These comments are not the opinion of anyone, anywhere, anytime. But It is RIGHT. |

What's the POINT of this idea?
You want to be able to fit 32 gatling pulse lasers on your Apocalypse? -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

No Point Really, A GM/Dev Would look at this one and scream at night saying "Why Why Why!!!" ________________________________ Club Seals Not Sandwichs |

I think I get it! (Assuming that I do indeed get it)
It makes sense. Huge ships can carry around 4 large guns or 4 small guns. But wait, they aren't the same size, are they? No, they're not. So why can you only have 4 small guns when you're able to carry 4 large guns 3 times the size? Oooh...
Maybe I got this whole thing wrong?

Because if a BS could fit 32 frigate guns, it would be a solo pwnmobile. And in the words of the devs, "battleships should not be solo pwnmobiles."

well for eve? this is a very bad idea ;p
but i think i migth be getting the jist of what ur saying
BSes being mammoth things, should have like 30 big guns, point defense, missiles and all the good turrets/missiles/and other weapons that most sci fi give to their big ass ships, and frigates be the sort of figthers of eve. Alone being able to barely scratch a bs blah blah ;p but won't work here :S if thats what u mean ;p ------------------------------------------------ NEWLY ADDED ON 1/19 (though applies to all posts before ;p)

It's similar to the fact that you can carry 8 or so large weapons in games like Doom.
It's a game, ffs. You *have* to have some suspension of disbelief in order to enjoy it.
Otherwise, you might start questioning faster than light travel and other such nonsense... ------------------------------------------- "Never underestimate the power of language."

Yes, give me a Raven that can fit 40 standard/rocket launchers, I'll show you people what Anti-frig is all about.

You know that somewhere, someone's probably drooling about 32 mining lasers.

I didn't think of THAT either.
An Apoc would probably be able to mine as much as 3 large mining barges... -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!
