A new party joins the fight
Sooo while I was busy happily bashing the Onyx Watch and taking their homes from them one by one aswell as sinking ALL their navy liberating them from their cruel overlords. I finally got to to their main stronghold and defeated it . Naturally I scrapped it afterwards and replaced it with this
Way. Better. Anyway the Lightning Hoods didn’t like that and have declared war on me. In other words: I dun goofed. They bring a LOT of nasties to the battlefield, inluding but not limited to these here
All of these have strong lasers and missiles. They are shielded (altho only with disrupting shields) and they go properly fast. They are jam packed with lasers, engines and thrusters and I am scared. My fleet is designed around fighting big, slow things and not small, fast things. In addition none of my craft currently have smoke. Another problem is that many of my craft rely on torpedos which are useless against most if not all of these craft. So yea it is time to modify my fighting forces. That UFO-looking motherfucker circles its targets at a distance, firing its stupidly powerful laser in the process. It is ludacriously fast and it is also shielded. I’ll need something with long reach, accuracy and damage. I’ve tested particle cannons and they’re not quite accurate enough for this. The damage is decent enough tho but it needs A LOT of power in the process. Mine needs 20k battery power per second but steam turbines can pump that much out. The obvious choice is to fight lasers with lasers. I haven’t seen smoke on many of these designs so this could work. Also could get a decent late-game unit this way. The only chassis fit to house some lasers currently is my Light Cruiser. Never thought I’d refit this thing into a laser-boat but I can see it work. The power is certainly there if I tear out the particle cannon again. I’ll update as soon as I have some design on the way to counter the green threat.
