Mothership concept

Reserved -_-

Btw I guess the Dom Razak, Dom Setek, Dom Nepesh, Sentinel, Warrior, Savage and such outer galactic races and their motherships are not part of this ?

So you really ment that you are inactive for years now... cus those are since 2 CF versions ago, it's from where "Warsies" come.

Yes, those have the top Motherships, while Ancients have no mothership. That station they have near the sun, known as a broken Mothership, dunno, it's hard to count Ancients having Motherships when you never seen one in action.

Pretty harder than DK motherships, these outer galactic ones have better weaponry.

It's also why the Dom Kavash were in fact our allies, only having the Nomads to defend certain systems, as well as training the human kind in space combat, advancing our technology by ourselves (with that push), and etc.

Now that we are above their Nomad pets, we are able, and requested to join the DK forces and help protecting our Galaxy from those intruders, which mainly, were able to come here thx to the DK's technology. Also learning that we exist because they allowed it, by abandoning sectors of the galaxy due to them being the only race, alone, with their wars and conflicts solved, they noticed it was better allowing life to grow again, different than their own race.

You could have fun checking this pdf, " SAL_Xeno_Field_Manual_v1.1 ", mainly by Orion, with SA, and in cooperation with CFPD, Huor and Maxbur.

Here in the downloads section: index.php?page=DatabaseItem&id=1067

It's 27 pages, so take your time. You can skip any SA advertisement if you find any

I don't really understand the part of "Calculations and balancing" though, all of that is already established, at moments it looks like you plan to create a new one rather than making a database for the existing ones.
But if you need the current mothership's intel, I can give it to you, with the math and all. Just that the part of damage output / second is not calculable (just aproximated), because they can't fire with all the guns at once on a target, if you are down it could only shoot with like 5 weapons, since the rest cannot turn into that direction, and so on. A total damage output is easy tho, just summing each gun's output.

Though so, you said it on the other thread.

Quote from (IOC)Tyrael

I don't want to fight a freaking ION cannon;

Why not ? They are not like before, at least not like the Dom Kavash Disruptors that desintegrate your ship at 10k around the Hyperspace Doom gate ( I bet you remember that one ).

This is mainly a big problem around, balancing. The trip to Inner Core already requires several people to go together for some action, but most people, after few of those group tries, already adapted into surviving in there alone, no matter what. Many of us, hunting them for their guns, and some of us include the capital ships like the Motherships, they actually seem easier than their fighter/bomber wings as it doesn't move that much and you can hit them, while the fighters may be at your tail before you notice it, and firing at your ass without missing much (like the big capital ships).
So in the end there would still be some crazy dudes (or just skilled ? ) who will manage to play even with the Dark Reign Ion cannons, or the ones in Omega 3, and survive as long as possible, since they can't be destroyed (well, the Dark Reign ones yes, a way of being disabled).

Miner Event turrets are actually perfect for this type of stuff, a capital ship putting it hard for players, but for it to be "efficient", it must be piloted by a human. I still remember when I was piloting such Miner, against the other side which was a Battleship as the 2nd Event Miner was not available, several players tried to get me down, but being disorganized, they came 1-2 at once as some were on defending their BS, and making the trip just to get sniped 1K far, until they all came at once, THAT was when the fun started, especially for them, but as well for everyone, as the Miner also had the players defending it.
