against fighters...

[administrator]

we will soon invent a ship( free for all on a random planet):

interceptor:

kills two fighters, but has no effect on other ships ( class1, mp=1)

[Frederik]

Hi,

I have a question about the interceptor :

Does it always kills 2 fighters? (Like commando fighter kills the other commando-fighters).
Or just when the next 2 ships are fighters?

[peace of love]

allways the next two fighters in the fleets, destructing them !
(but only fighters, no mosquitoes e.g.)

its a very good thing this ship...
the only fighter strategy is proved but becoming boring
-> with the new ship ill be interestring again

peace

so not to be mistaken:

it allways kills two fighters (if there are any left SOMEWHERE in the fleet).

doesnt matter if the next two ships are fighters. otherwise the new ship would be rather useless

peace

its quite difficult to decide wich version of interceptor should be realized...

we will decide soon.

[administrator]

i tried all possible combinations and i am sure that the best version is:

the interceptor deals ech one damage to the following two fighter-class ships.

it has no effect on non-class one ships.

this version leads to interresting combinations and its not too easy to use.
( some brain work is needed)

i show you some results:

yours: 100 ships
class 1:
100 interceptor (0/1)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
enemy:
class 1:
20 fighters (1/1)
20 mosquitoes (0/3)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
your class 1 vs enemy class 1:


20 interceptor destroys 20 ships
10 interceptor destroys 20 ships

20 fighters vs 20 interceptor

Losses:
You :
20 interceptor
Enemy :
20 fighters
20 mosquitoes

-----------------------------------------
second example


yours : 100 interceptor (0/1)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
enemy: 11 ships
class 1:
10 mosquitoes (0/3)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
your class 1 vs enemy class 1:


5 interceptor destroys 10 ships

Losses:
You :
-
Enemy :
10 mosquitoes

---------------------------------------

third example:

yours:
class 1:
30 interceptor (0/1)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
enemy:
class 1:
20 fighters (1/1)
20 mosquitoes (0/3)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
your class 1 vs enemy class 1:

15 interceptor destroys 15 ships
6 interceptor destroys 12 ships

19 fighters vs 19 interceptor

Losses:
You :
19 interceptor
Enemy :
13 fighters
14 mosquitoes

looks like a real fighter-class-hunter ... i think...

nothing against it???

then it will be that way ( its a nice one)

[peace of love]

its a cool ship...

[untouchable]

So the ship is able to kill all class 1 ships???

[Frederik]

I believe it does 1 damage to 2 class1 ships

[untouchable]

Think I got it...

[Lord Philemon]

But why do 5 interceptors destroy 10 Mosquitoes? I think it´s a bit unlogical as mosquitoes have got 3 LP...

[spacetrace]

right now this is a problem of battle report.

if ever ships are modified the battle-engine counts the number of successfull modifications.
the mission of the interceptor is to destroy ships, so he will only report destruction-counts to the battle engine. ( the non-destruction shots are not reported)

[Hobbit]

Would the interceptor's function be stopped if the other player had got a disable ship?
