Title: Is it a weapon? Post by: Seilhenker on March 25, 2008, 11:53:30 PM For a swarmerdesign, I chose that weapon: Weight: 1 Attack: 1922 ACU: 15% En.: 4504 Total cost: 2cr Is it a good enough design, or change less ACU for more attack? Title: Re: Is it a weapon? Post by: jessiedog on March 26, 2008, 06:25:52 PM try increasing the weight to around 2-4, decreasing the energy needed, and increasing the attack. 10-15% accuracy is usually good for a swarmer, so ur on the higher end, but since the swarm bonus effects attack and not accuracy, try maybe 11-12 % and more attack.

Title: Re: Is it a weapon? Post by: Seilhenker on March 27, 2008, 02:47:48 AM The weapon was just a preview and I wanted to know if it is good enough as a weapon for a swarmerfleet. My actual swarmerfleet has 300 hull and cost just under 50k cr. I use a different weapon now. Has a bit more power with the same weight and acu, but also a bit more energieusage. Title: Re: Is it a weapon? Post by: waylain16 on March 27, 2008, 02:50:04 AM 50k is a lot, the one i use cost 3.559 credits
if you have gold look it up its the Bad tiny stinger Title: Re: Is it a weapon? Post by: Seilhenker on March 27, 2008, 03:03:20 AM I have that pricelimit, too. But the losses are getting too high for me, so I put some defence on it with defBonus. To support that with enough energie, I had to get a higher Powercore. I thought, what do I need for the ship, how much defence, hp it needs. Then I created the Powercore and weapon simoultanesly(heavy word). In the end I made the core bigger to get more energie on the weapon..... but I think, I can look that over again.... heyyyya.... not easy that designing.

ACU is a quite a bit more complicated. You can see the formulae I've used for superships here (http://forum.spaceo.net/index.php/topic,389.msg12018.html#msg12018). |
