A.Kryo Remake Suggestion

R RequiemOP

OP 29/08/2012 · 10:24 AM #1

Name A.Kryo
Class Starbase
Weapon 6,000
Energy Damage 2,000
Kinetic Damage 2,000
Missile Damage 2,000
Chemical Damage 0
Hull 150,000
Range 7
Scanner rating 8,000
Power rating 75,182

Cost per unit 601,480
Upkeep 32,328

1 turn produces 1.0

Ship Attributes
Defense Modifier
Energy Shield + 50 %
Absorption Shield + 75 %
ECM + 15 %
Ionized Hull + 50 %

Main changes are a more balanced attack distribution (cause i`m OCD like that) but the main thing to note is the shields.

Kryo is a weak ship, but it has its purpose: PR climbing while in DP. However, that still does not justify how essentially useless it is in any kind of fleet. With a buff in shields, Kryo still remains rather useless in the weapons category, but is at least viable in stacks as a kind of "fodder" against kinetic especially. It would be hard to kill, but without the no-retal ability, it would tend to kill itself against ships like chlorite etc.

Thoughts? Just want Kryo to have a purpose other than PR climbing whilst in DP

If its meant as fast fodder then it should have range 1 and no defense. Those shield give it crazy much effective hull/turn it seems.

one more thing:
a single full size SB should be able to fend off light to medium attacks at low pr with little difficulty. One would need to use harassing tactics or ranged attacks with missile to defeat one.

I actually like Tranq`s version. SB`s in my mind were always meant to be huge, very powerful weapons platforms designed to deliver damage at range and protect fleets and other worlds.

dont take away from that by weakening the thing so severely that no one will use it. Also, dont op it just so you can have a quick pr jump and still be invincible.

SBs ought to be used strategically just as any other ship, albeit for defense purposes only.

Also I do believe that smaller SBs have their advantages as well, A.Hoko for instance is more like an automated weapons array rather than a full on base of operations.

So update them along those guidelines and while you`re at it, please update the Collective`s itty bitty little tiny incy wincy pathetic little toy of a starbase they have...

Appologies also on my part in derailing this thread.
I think the idea of beefing up Kryo is great. Maybe make it weeker against missiles and give it range 8 or improve it against chemical attacks so it does better against Fez but can be taken out by missile boats.

My apologies req, I let my temper get the best of me. I also willingly will accept any punishment for violating any in game rules if such is deemed necessary. I will not be looked at as being in any fed is protection from being treated like any other player on here. This is the last of the off topic comments from me.

Sorry req

Also seeing as your thread got derailed as well you can send me a pm about it if you like.

while i`d be okay with a improved kryo that also is a big of a huge change and probably way too strong given i didn`t test it yet it`s obvious enough that the shields would need to be dialed back a fair bit to be considered..

But if you can come up with something a bit less overpowered looking i`d be happy to test it and consider putting it up for official discussion.

Varda you`ve just made the point I was trying to make for me very effectively there.
Of course no action will be taken as you are part of the little group so I won`t bother to post a complaint about your flagrant filter bypass as I`m certain nothing will be done anyway.
Oh and learn how to mock people, that last attempt was weak.

I can mock people just fine, see here I go: fourtythree your an iddiot, stop picking a fight with raist cause your but sore. His remark about kelti wasnt even insulting in the least and its one that gets brought up once a month for years now. Kelti has always been a strong advocater for terran updates especially terran bases.
Their now you have been mocked by a professional and have something to complain about.

True Raist there is nothing in your job description that says you can`t mock people but there is in the guidelines a refrain from insulting other players. While I haven`t seen Kelti around for a while I am sure he would be insulted by the implication of this post.

A little consideration for other Raist is all that`s required, or is not not part of your job description?

i asked him about the starbase redesign a couple months ago (a month or 2 after the event closed), and he said all the submissions to the staffbot9001 had been deleted due to how gc handles PMs. so unless he has the entries/winner recorded somewhere else its more likely that the contest would have to start over or every1 resubmit

Nothing in my job description says I can`t mock people, only that I need to help out. I appreciate your concern about me doing my job as a staff. In fact, why don`t you apply to be a guide yourself next time they`re hosted. If you can help out giving advice as you are now, you`re bound to be able to do more good as a guide!

Oh and if you want to know the results of the competition, you will need to talk to EE as he was the one who hosted and ran that. Not even mods or guides know the results of that.

Well Raistlin if the redesign competition was ever resolved even to say that none of the entries were suitable then he might shhh... and not have to be mocked by guides who really should know better.

Now I`m just waiting for Kelti to post something about terran starbases.
