This is going to be very interesting. Those missiles are so fast they would tend to reduce the usual disadvantage of missiles; that is, delayed damage. Even with the flight time penalty, they still get a range increase. I think they will also make good snipers.
Their look is really nice too, quite original.
I'm quite curious about the BPC drops... That could make them somehow easy to get if you're lucky :) |

Will the battleship be the missile chuckers ticket into Incursions or are we still forced into turret weapons? Well, that missile speed bonus is surely going to make a difference, since it lowers the "delayed damage" problem for missiles at Incursions. Even with the flight time penalty, they still get a range increase.

Out of curiosity, I just did some quick calculus at what would increase the Barghest (theorical) damage: adding an 8th launcher or increasing the 5% damage bonus to 7.5%.
- Adding an 8th launcher: would increase damage by 14.3% refering to what it does now.
- Increasing damage bonus to 7.5%: would increase damage by 12.5% refering to what it does now (all skills at 5).
I'm posting this here in case it's useful for discussion. Many people claim a damage application bonus. The other alternative would be to increase its damage output in one of these ways. I have no idea which one would be better for the balance, but adding an 8th launcher would be better than giving it a 7.5% damage bonus, as it not only allows it for slighty more damage but also makes its hardpoints to be symmetrical on the model. I insist, I don't know if that would be too much damage! But it being a Pirate Battleship seems like it could use some more damage. |
