Battleship Discussion

Post by Strail »

Please stay on topic with the question ;)

If there was a battleship in the game, and it was run by a player, do you agree with these statements:

1. Battleships should only really be able to be taken down by more than one player attacking the battleship with his fighter ship. (i.e. a player with a battleship should be able to hold off a single player attack in a VHF)

2. The Battleship should only be able to dock at designated places, these places should be at most one base per system.

3. Battleship cargo holds should be small as they are not trading vessels and will provide an unfair advantage, if people want to trade they should be in a trading ship, not  a battleship.

4. Battleships should NOT be widely available to every single player and there needs to be some sort of restriction on who can have a battleship.

Have your say please ;)

Agreed :D , Thats not a bad Idea .. but If a player have a battleship ..... wont they have a great advantages in fights ?? but also . it is needed in some cases :)

What do you think about " only Clan leaders or persons Nominated by them ( Instead of them ) can have a battleship . or maybe one or two persons per clan can have that .... and to pilot a battleship a player must be level 70 or above :D "

Yeah overall I like the idea of adding battleships :D would be a bit more exciting . :D

:-?
yeah i think if there was in the game a battleship
1 - must be at least 3 good HF or VHF pilot to destroy that
2 - fair it will be can dock all most all bases
3 - becouse of hard manevrability i think can have a large cargo ...is a big ship
4 - YES must be restriction like - behave, time online, for clans number of members, let say 1 for 10 or 15 members, u know things like that must cost huge like 1500 mill to be hard to have that

1. Battleships should only really be able to be taken down by more than one player attacking the battleship with his fighter ship. (i.e. a player with a battleship should be able to hold off a single player attack in a VHF)  GOOD

2. The Battleship should only be able to dock at designated places, these places should be at most one base per system.  GOOD

3. Battleship cargo holds should be small as they are not trading vessels and will provide an unfair advantage, if people want to trade they should be in a trading ship, not  a battleship.  GOOD

4. Battleships should NOT be widely available to every single player and there needs to be some sort of restriction on who can have a battleship.  THIS WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS AS EVERYONE WOULD LIKE TO TRY OUT A BATTLESHIP AND MAY FEEL TREATED UNFAIRLY.  Although I'd like to say Battleships are a pain in the @$$ to fly.  You'll see.

Another thing I'd like to add is Battleship should NOT be able to use hyper lanes, should only be able to dock at Planets with Mooring Fixtures, and have a hella slow 'give me a break type' of cruise startup engage speed.  :)

I think all you said is full logic.

If you don't want to make it available for many players, just increase it's price: 200, 500, 1500M? Even clans should have to work hard to get one.

And what about undocking? Will battleships suddenly appear in space?

About giving capships to players:

Of course not every player, but how to see to who, maybe like this:  ?

Every 2,3,4,or week should be organized events, and that events should be announced on forums, like I think that every week we give 2 or 3 battleships, and winners of that events should get battleship, it IS UNFAIR that some1 starts a clan and already has bship, that ships should be given by time u have played, and u can see that by ur skills of pvp, but I dunno what with players who are here from beginning and they are npc killers( ex. Asmodeus).......................................

So, in short: events every 'week', 1st, 2nd and 3rd, or not 3rd and 2nd should get battleship.......................................

well my veiws as follows:

1. If NPC battleships can fall to 1 player , but thay have no skill. i think that depends what the ship is armed with. maybe weak points in a battleship that make it taken down easyer but in the case of 1 player destroying a battleship maybe it should be realistic , theirs no chance of that happening unless its week spots and hit by admin torps or something.

2. This is one of the best ideas i have heard yet m8. serious smart , the clans base is what im thinking of. fighter wings have to pickup and transport other Batlleship weapons to the battleship. i have to admit even if this idea of mine dosent happen this should be made possible. a base like monkey outpost , Nomad 1, should not be able to have a Battleship docked in it becuase look at the size of it. commen sense is needed i think. clan bases should be one of limited bases to dock on.

3. i belive ur right , space for ammo and other stuff. not for cargo transport a battleship is for combat , let it stay this way.

4. 1 battleship per clan , the battleships would cause major lag if it was for everyone. the clan leader should get to pick who gets the battleship in the clan.

]PLEASE LOOK :
anyone played hamburg city server , it has battleships that u have to buy fuel for meaning a clan has to pay for the upkeep of their battleship with H fuel , which alsow has to be traveled for i think. u could introduce this sort of things so clan has to pay for upkeep of their battleship

I think this is a good ideea , clan leaders decide who can have a battleship , trusted members or somethin , and battleships should be used more at clan wars as support ship or somethin like that ...
it would be cool to see some battleships in clan wars (it makes a battle to be harder)
Battleships can be used as patrols , sistem guards . Like the ESF guard characters in nomad 1 , someone should have a Battleship as a Super Heavy support ship  (i took ESF as example because i see them often in guard chars defending nomad 1, but i could take also n*o clan that guards New Berlin).

My opinion , YES TO BATTLESHIPS :D:D

EDIT : just saw , nice ideea of hamburg city server , very good

I play on Discovery RP server , and there the battleships are allowed only for clans for special operations and big assaults on enemy sistems or defending a sistem . No one can have a big ship without an ID that allows u to use it .
If the battleships are added in the next mod and folowing this ideeas it will increase the RP , dont u think ?
