steamrunner (class 3 ship)

[img]steamrunner.jpg[/img]
if there is a fleet in the sector you are heading towards this ship type will stop 1 sector away from the arrival point while the rest of the ships continue on to the sector. once your fleet in the sector attacks a fleet or is attacked by one the steamrunners will then fight the battle 1 sector away launching high energy torpedos at their targets.


attack/life: 0/250
manpower: 71

researchtime: 1 d 12 h

what does everyone else think about htis ship?

[Grayback]

seems good to me, it supports the ships in the fleet in battle and cannot be attacked unless an enemy fleet comes to it. tricky.

realy tricky.
But of course, those steamrunners can't establish warp for em self.
It's not bad,
but lower LP to 100-150

I'm afraid that this ship won't work. You cannot create a fleet outside of your base.

[Lou of East from West]

It should be triggerd some how, but if he leaves that sector, those ships couldn't follow him, nor fight from larger distance then 1 sector (100 ly), something like long range artiljery, but if u attack them in their sector (0 ly) then they can't fight

1 fleet tender
50 steamrunner
followed by a mothership to pick up the steamrunners

your losses:
100 class 1
100 class 2
100 class 3

my losses:
1 fleet tender


This ship destroys 2 class 3 ships, is invincible and costs 71 mp!!!

LoL quite good battle synthax... But, I can't imagine the way a fleet one sector away can affect a battle... It'll require major changes in the game

But, what about sending that fleet Tofu proposed, to the Black Hole... It'll be a huge massacre

Move the Shipyard to an Pre-Warp World, but of course near the Black Hole...
To use it like an Long Range attack ship...
And make a lot of point without losing it

hmmm never thought about that, ya you would be able to get good points

[Grayback]

but you would still need to send in a fleet to start the battle. the steamrunner only attacks if your fleet in that sector is attacked.

[Lou of East from West]

well there sould be some kinda distruction trigger!
Like hevy artilery, when u caught them with infratry or tanks, they are doomed!
so like if u kill one of those, all others are destroyed as well
