  Ships- Barracuda  

The Marauder destroyer class ship. The Barracuda is a frigate-sized ship loaded with two twin barrel rapid pulse blasters under each wing, two pulse lasers on both sides of it`s nose, a multi-launch photon torpedo turret in the underbelly and two turrets mounted above the command center. Each turret consists of four rapid-fire cannons. This flying death ship has totally no defensive capabilities due to the reliance on space travel energy generation and therefore is near useless when not use in offensive missions.

It sounds so much cooler than it is. Carry on.

I wonder how big the dreadnought would be for guardians when their fighters are the size of Terran`s battleship.

exactly chaos; you can`t fly, just float fast :P

Newton`s 2nd law still apply when you`re in space. So any mass ejected at the back of your ship will propel it forward. Although there will be no need for constant thrust.

It didn`t look that obscene on paper but testing it in battle in a stack barra quite sucks...

No, ishy`s idea was to show everybody how sucky the barracuda is. I am quite sure it was better before the update - besides the no def and range 8 it gained, it is generally much weaker now - lower hull:pr, lower damage:pr.

Reborn - It wasn`t to do with the typo :P He thinks it sounds like a really cool ship when in actual fact it`s pants.

BTW - my favourite part of that post was that subtle `Carry On` at the end; it made me LOL XD

certicom - i wasn`t calling anyone out on it. i just love this game, and fixing some spelling translations would make it a little more enjoyable so why not let them know? you can`t fix a problem you don`t know exists.

I think it is more likely an incomplete knowledge of English grammar rather than a typo.

However since it was most likely written by a non-native speaker I would not be so quick to call him or her out on Reborn. I mean a lot of native English speakers including myself suck at grammar lol. I am sure I made a grammar mistake somewhere in this post even haha. Should it be "including me" instead of "including myself"? Ahhh whatever!

Looks good though, I like it.
Is this supposed to be added to the Barracuda disc?

*Reborn orders 100k Barracuda for next offensive campaign, but is rejected for being A.Miner*

scratch that, "when not being used in offensive missions" sounds better.
