Default Re: P&N Pirates: too weak?

quote:
Note that a BlackHole does not mean instant death for a BattleMoon (or even a baseship).
In fact, you merely need to spend 1020 KT to make a BlackHole-Proof Vehicle.

Just place 24 Organic or Crystalline Armor, Premium Mount, and 3 Repair Bays.
You get 5040 armor, repaired every turn, and BlackHoles do 5000 damage by default.

Once you are stable on the event horizon, you can retrofit your vehicle and add Lots of Emergency propulsion, then muscle your way out. Races with advanced propulsion can get 4 movement with EP.
Or, I suppose, anybody could open a warppoint on the event horizon, and warp through.
In that case, anybody who tries to follow the warppoint back towards your base of operations/Homeworld gets a nasty surprise.


Have you actually built and done this? If so, then I am truly not worthy. I stand in awe of your modding skills. What is the view like from the event horizon?

Which leads me to another dimension of SEIV. How about warping those points from the event horizon into another current game of SEIV? I think this would be the ultimate, the SEIV multiverse.

With that, and a little scenario modding (build a planetary engine on nomad's homeworld before uploading to PBW as 1st turn), you've got your nomadic start.


And all of my wildest fantasies shall come true!

I'm not hard to please. It was a long, hard day at the office.

"Henceforth I spread confident wings to space
I fear no barrier of crystal or glass;
I cleave the heavens and soar to the infinite.
And while I rise from my own globe to others
And penetrate even further through the eternal field,
That which others saw from afar, I leave far behind me."
