Re: Poll: Ship design strategy
quote:
Using plain old vanilla tech, I max out engines, put on one, *maybe* two shields, Stealth/Scattering, and 3 Organic or Crystalline (depends which one I have . Weapons are 3xH-EAGs (w/ Organic) or ShieldOnly/ArmorSkip combos (w/ Crystalline), 1xH-EngineKiller, 1xH-WeaponKiller, 1xPDC.
Interesting. I've tried that weapon killer beam a number of times and my conclusion was that it is utterly useless. I had a DN filled up with about 6 of those (heavy mount) and in 30 combat turns it wouldn't even kill all the weapons on another DN that didn't fire back (both ships under manual control in simulator)!
