Maybe a request for EA.

The Thunderbolt might be great at anti-ship tasks but it's not much of a dogfighter at +1 and it's pretty slow for a fighter (nearly all of the Drazi warships can outrun it !). All of the major races (other than the Vorlons and Shadows) have better dogfighters that can counter it and with a Brokados or similar in the fleet most League fighters are at least equal to it.

+1 dogfight is a wee bit above average, Drazi, Bakari, Abbai, Raiders, Shadow, Vorlons, Dilgar, Narn Frazi are worse.
They have afterburners so aren't that slow ( i think they should scrap this anyway, easier to keep track of without) , Drazi can't turn if they want move away & the missles can still hit. Decided that the poseidon wouldn't be that bad at battle as you can get 18 fights for a battle point anyway, they are already deployed no need to launch, possibilty with a Hermes/ any jump capable to jump behind/ or any tacticaly important position, thats better than having a Poseidon most of the time if it's at War.

Enough about your Earthly complaints.

Why not give the Centauri an actual carrier capable of launching more than 1 flight a turn (I mean... it has those 2 things that stick out... wouldn't fighters go there meaning they can launch at least 2 a turn?).

The Avenger has MORE fighters, MORE abilities and a COMMAN BONUS to boot.

Let's show some alien love... that is all I am asking.

Balwarix?

Balwarix?

... is a BATTLE level ship that the Balvarin should already be.

Alright, lower the command bonus to +1 and take off the matter cannons and THAT is what the standard Balvarin should be. Now, put those matter cannons back plus some Rutrians and you have the start of the actual Balvarix.

It's not my fault they messed things up the first time around. ( :wink: )

It used to be that way, but it was pretty damn strong 55 hits, interceptors 2. I would like a balvarian with interceptors 1, carrier 2. No reason to have 55 hits though, 40's are fine. Lots of races need carrier luvin.
Silly thing about the poseidon it's way better to get 1 avenger & 18 flights of t-bolts for the war pt, fleet carrier & 10 more flights that are already deployed.

Back to what the thread was originally about. I'd still like to see an EA Battleship for crusade era. They havent had one since the nova. And as far as the warlock being armageddon, maybe using the tech of a race billions of years older then the minbari justifies it skipping a level. I just wish it showed the shadow tech more like the nemisis does. at least give it the +1 to stealth roles.

I'd like to see a Nova type ship in the Crusade era to. Liked the idea of the Quaser from one scratchbulid thread. Maybe a nova with self repair, maybe slightly different weapon to the Laser/Pulse array, possible mini beam thingy phased polaron beam and 4 flights of T-Bolts. Also think they need a Light carrier to replace the avenger. The Crusade era should only be able to get T-Bolts or maybe the new ships have them with no option to swap out.
Plenty of shadow tech for crusade era thats what i want.

 

[H]

no.....more....ea......ships....grrr.
Or more specifically, no more EA ships until all existing ships and stations get models, Mongoose should concentrate on finishing what they have planned instead of more new EA ships. Mind you, I do like the nova, but the Marathon is a fine battleship, why would you want something else? am I missing something?

 

[Target]

No Nova in crusade list

 

[Valen is my name]

EA does not need any more ships at the high priority levels, the only new models should be to pad out the lower levels at crusade era where its a bit lacking, the other fleets, whilst good, should get more concentration than EA

 

[demonllamma]

I think the point is more that there are problems in the naming conventions of the EA rather than OoO I want teh mor ships plz!!!11!oneoneone! Besides, it would be interesting to see a crusade era battleship. Not neccasarily as a fully fledged model line, but it might be interesting to kitbash something.

Ask prelude_to_war for a Nike class battlecruiser or two....

 

[Target]

Looks damn good that Nike, people have done pretty good paint jobs on them as well.

 

[Silvereye]

It is a damn fine model. He really did do a first class job of building it. If he does re-open for business, I will heartily recomend getting one.

 

[[Omicron]Urobach]

No Nova in crusade list

i work on this problem.... :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

 

[sidewinder]

well the marathon is a replacement for the omega, so I wouldnt call it a battleship, maybe a destroyer or cruiser. The Nike is a nice model but untill there are offical rules for it its not really usefull except as a stand in for another ship. But I do like it being called a battlecruiser.

 

[Silvereye]

The Marathon seems to actually fill the role played by a Hyperion in the older fleet lists in my mind.
