I am surprised at the bad dogfight rating as we see three Frazi fleeing in the face of three shadow fighters, and when the two flip back to fight they both die hideously. (Well one does get to ram I guess.)

Three words, powered by plot :lol:

Bah...the game is based on the plot powered vessels. If we can standardize something as silly as the jump point bombs (ie something that happens once on special circumstances involving a pre-arranged ambush) then we could at least give the old shadows there due. There is no reason not to give the darn things a better dogfight score.

Ripple: Vorlon fighters now better than than they used to be. 2AD instead of one, and now hull 5, making them fairly scary

 

[Ripple]

Well that is nice then...=)

They still die in droves to younger races fighters though due to their speed being lower and the enemy fighters getting to choose the engagement. Well Nials and the EA afterburner ones anyway. If Hull 5 factored into dogfighting maybe it would make a difference.

Still nice to see them get a boost against ships as you are almost required to buy them for a lot of fights.

Still like to see something low PL enough to have more than one ship at the lower pl fights for campaign. It would be fine if fighters counted as ships but they do not so you just lose a lot of the time as the Vorlons. Get out manuevered in your one ships and it just a matter of do you survive long enough.

Oh, saw the Vorlon fighters in action this week, four made it onto a Sulust, nearly killed the poor baby in one volley, although that did include a 6 5 critical.

2ed Vorlons. Testing possible new Damage system (but absolutely nothing decided yet). There, that enough apology?

Hi LBH

I've decided to get off my encounter suited butt and post something, i've been lurking here far too long. :wink:

Anyone been able to make a five point Raid Shadow Fleet work ? Options are somewhat limited. 5 Scouts or 1 Scout and 1 Hunter. Unless you can run round an asteroid belt, or jump in from hyperspace. Any ideas. This is perhaps leading me onto the fact that IMHO the shadows still need more options. I quite like the concept, previously mentioned in this post of a scout variant, i.e. lost the scout trait but beef up its weapons. I'd love to take a shadow fleet to a tourni, but at the moment, no way.
