New Brakiri (no pics)

[katadder]

nope they are heavy fighters.

 

[Talisinbear]

so if new ships don't address weaknesses they are basically money sinks for players it would seem?

 

[pwrserge]

More variety allong a given theme is never a bad idea. The weaknesses of the Brakiri are just like any other race's down sides, they make that race unique. If all the races were equal in everything, what would be the point?

The Pikatos Fighter was a heavy fighter with some anti-ship capabilities. I'd doubt it would be any better than a Falkosi in a dogfight, but it would have more punch than a Falkosi. Falkosi are nothing but pocket rockets, they excel in speed and that's it.

 

[Talisinbear]

I understand you need ddiversity and weaknesses, but not sure adding minis for money is great either

I have the 2 Centauri boxes, but among ships not included it seems concensus most of the rest of the extensive range are basically pretty paper weights.

Well, the Brakiri are missing a warship somewhere between the Tashkat and the Flying Brick and the Dreadnought could plug that gap. Even if it's at the same PL as the Tashkat it may have more "traditional" Brakiri weapons rather than the more gimmicky Gravitic Shifters. Don't know how much use the troop carrier will be as they've already got decent Skirmish-level ones. A Heavy carrier would be pretty useful as the current Fleet Carrier only has four flights. The heavy fighter is definately needed as the Falkosi is a pretty good (if fragile) dogfighter, especially if you are using the Brokados as well, but not up to much as an anti-ship fighter.

The Courami Dreadnought

Quite like it. Glad I have gone for Brakiri now. :lol:

 

[MongooseMatt]

The Brakiri are most certainly becoming born again hard this year. . .

 

[MustEatBrains]

Oh hell... Courami, Firehawk, cool! (seeing previes makes me talk in macros like that...)

The Courami Dreadnought

Yes i really like it!

Erm, has the Brivoki class been cancelled?

 

[MongooseMatt]

No, a new Brivoki is still coming. . .

 

[JayRaider]

Cool, thank you Matt.

PS. Great design for the Courami, its up there with the Ztakk for quality !

 

[MustEatBrains]

Can it be that the new Brakiri will lean heavily towards the higher levels of the game? The Kabrokta is battle, I´d guess as a dreadnought and with such a big ship the Courami will be ariund War, and the Armageddon ship is also still coming... or is this one of those situations were the newest ships are simply so powerful that they have to be costly?

Well i don't see many people buying more than one, they wouldn't need to.
I'm happy to pay it, i like the design.

 

[Valen is my name]

i just wish dancing dryad would hurry up and actually get some of the new models, last one they got was pak'ma'ra way back in february!

 

[prelude_to_war]

I like it too - although IMO it needs a strut right in the center...reminds of a Romulan Warbird (NG) which was a great design.

Well, I thought more of "costly in fleetpoints"; being better and all. But having just seen the price, I just hope the whole ship will well be worth the 40$...

I like the details on the Firehawk, btw - really looks like a crossbreed between a Warbird and a Stormfalcon...

No - the Brakiri are, overall, becoming a lot better rounded out. Think of them as akin to the 3rd Age EA in terms of capability.

That makes an already great ship into a drop dead model... ebay here I come for a Brakiri fleet box and extras.
