Most Broken Ship ever to rear it's head in ACTA

[Rynar]

Hi all,

I finally get to return to this forum afther a long period of computer difficulties. Annyway I am surprised to see you talking about broken ships while completely forgetting the Centauri's Adira...

Annyone botherd looking at this beast? Next to its fenomenal weapons array it has a GEG 3 field, this combined with a hull 6 and 120 damage points makes it almost impervious to harm!!! only double or triple weapons with sufficient AD will be able to hurt it a tiny bit at a time. The only way to tackle this beast is to crit it to hell. This means missiles, missiles and more missiles for all you EA players!!! (since it doesn't poses interceptors this is its greatest weakness)

And the Warlock is a dissapointment, from one of the best war choises it has gone up to one of the worst Armageddon choises

Yust my two cents,

Well the Adira IS armageddon level :wink:

In playtesting I lost several of them versus Victory class, Ka'Bin'taks and G'Vrahns

It IS an armageddon ship though The Victory has 100 dmg with adaptive armour, so 200! and the Brakiri/Abbai ship has enough interceptors to um, intercept stuff ;-) they all have something, the Ka Bin tak is a bit left out, but it does have a load of guns, the Adira however is in my opinion what an armageddon ship SHOULD be like.

Yep the Adira is about right imho. The Victory on the other hand I have a feeling might have been pushed into the 'slightly too good' category... Time will tell though I guess.

To be honest anyway though Im far less concerned by ships that are a tad munchy or a tad weak at that sort of level anyway as due to their cost they are rare anyway and hard to 'abuse'. An overpowered skermish or raid ship on the otherhand tends to rapidly lead to cheese fleets....

and in a campaign, think how muc hhurt you will do to your enemy taking down an Adira? 2 Bin Taks, 4 drakh cruisers, 2 sharlins, all a match for an Adira.

I think the VCD has become too much of a "it just wont die" ship.

Firepower is good. Nothing to feel like a king. Sharlin plus some extra secondaries, but the damage......

 

[emperorpenguin]

Think it's tough now?! you should have seen the damage in the first draft of playtesting! :wink:

 

[Voronesh]

Well you could always tell us ^^.

I mean not like its important to know, but it would be a fun fact

 

[emperorpenguin]

Well it was a fair bit more, to be honest I don't recall but I cried the first time I fought one!

 

[Rynar]

Not many weapons, let alone a decent War-lvl ship in the EA list makes it a very hard nut to crack. But I gues Centauri have always been a bit NUTS!!!
