Description
Here you can see the Vong cruiser smashing a Vengeance Frigate into pieces with a horizontal dash. Curiously, the engine tends to use the horizontal sweep more frequently than the vertical one...
Again, sorry for the lags. The next one Miid Ro´ik´s shield - will be hopefully captured on Empremi´s PC. Enjoy ;)
Youtube.com anyone?
man, this thing is fast^^
...and deadly
Impressive
Now that looks just slightly overpowered...
trust me, you won´t be able to hit more than once from 5 tries if the target moves and given the cooldown... unfortunately, I wasn´t able to "code" into it some loss of HP (tried to use STIM_PACK ability), so now it takes more damage during the dive. any help would be welcome though ;)
You could increase manouverability and decrease damage, so that a frigate/capital ship survives but takes heavy/light damage, depending on this ships cost. This will make for a more stable, reliable ability without making it unbalanced, and for that I think, more fun. Nothing as frustrating as relying on something and it failing, like this ability has the potential to do as you say.
larger ships will survive, since they have hardpoints far from each other so only some of them will get within the range of the impact.
I do not want to return to the old "turn on hidden harpoints and speed up the ship" thing. but I think Shapers will preserve this so people can try it there. this one is like poker - if you have skills and luck, you can win a lot.
not even mentioning the issues old version would have with ships on different height levels (yes, I´m actually mentioning it).
All power to the... Wait, Do the Vong have engines or do they just use magic?
Basically magic, and black holes in order to fend off projectiles. Yeah the guy who came up with the whole vong thing really ran out of good ideas, so they just started using nonsensical ideas instead. Also they warp space-time around them in order to move.
but remember - you can´t spawn those micro blackholes into enemy warships to tear them apart and send these parts randomly across the entire universe, because..well because it wouldn´t be fair probably... :D
Yeah the whole vong thing is retarded. You can warp space time but you can't win from a technologically (far more) inferious foe? It's unrealistic at best.
