E.Class

OP 30/05/2012 · 12:42 AM #1

Well in the past there`s been some talk about the uselessness of the light class so I propose these designs to replace the light class, and really the only neutral ships we are lacking is a missile damage neutral class so this is it. I would have named them L class but that was taken, P class would have also been nice since it also plays off of Light albeit not the definition of light intended by the light class so they will be called E. Class which stands For Electromagnetic w/e enough with the names

here they are.

E.Aurora Fighter

E: 4
K: 0
M: 20
C: 0
H: 30
S: 0
Range: 7
PR: 33
BR: 900
Upkeep 23

ES: 35%
KS: 0%
ECM: 0%
IH: 20%

No Retal

Mineral requirements
TM 0
RC 0
WC 0
RT 0
C 2
SO 0

This is the only ship in the group that has a dual damage type

E.Nova Frigate

E: 0
K: 0
M: 400
C: 0
H: 1,500
S: 80
Range: 8
PR: 850
BR: 30
Upkeep 615

Shields
ES: -20%

ECM: 40%
IH: -10%

No Defense
No Retal

Mineral requirements
TM 0
RC 1
WC 1
RT 1
C 3
SO 0

The Nova is inspired by guards L. class a missile boat with decent range a hull which is a oddity for a missile ship

E.Pulsar Destroyer

E: 0
K: 0
M: 1300
C: 0
H: 1500
S: 0
Range: 9
PR: 1376
BR: 20
Upkeep 1,045

Shields
ES: 0%
KS: 0%
ECM: 0%
IH: 0%

Mineral requirements
TM 0
RC 2
WC 2
RT 2
C 5
SO 0

The Pulsar was inspired by the Tiger, which is the most overpowered pure missile boat around, it`s a weaker version lacking both no defense and no retal, and also lacks shielding of any kind which makes it unique but it has enough hull and range to let it do its job.

E.Quasar Cruiser

E: 0
K: 0
M: 3,000
C: 0
H: 1,000
S: 10
Range: 10
PR: 3,015
BR: 8
Upkeep 2,231

Shields
ES: -35%
KS: -35%
ECM: 15%
IH: -25%

No Defense
No Retal

Mineral requirements
TM 0
RC 3
WC 3
RT 3
C 10
SO 0

The Quasar is inspired by the Terran P class obviously. This ship will be the Paid ship of the group .33 hull to pr and mostly negative shields make this ship look a bit pathetic but this ship give everyone the opportunity to have a 10 range ship and a nearly a 1:1 damage to pr ratio.

Also I know some people are fond of the LFD, so if there`s enough people who want to we could probably keep the LFD and just rename it like the C. Libra or something and attach it to C class research.

So any how talk and discuss and test and ect and provide me with some kind of feed back.

I am surprised you say E.nova is inspired by l.class. It looks more like a buff version of the m.calcite to me.

Terrans may feel a little devaluated if soo many neutral high range missile ships are introduced.

meh i like things the way they are things are fairly well balanced already id rather go back to the good ole days before viral existed now that was some niclely balanced races and ships but i can see you put a lot of thought into it tho too bad "someone" dont care about GC enough to do do what needs to be done if we gonna get any changes id like to see the mission for viral that everyone thought they were getting when they got the paid account since the restart page lies and says they have them and we have been promised for like 4 years now
