How about it has a warper like Cpt Kidd instead of extremely long range? This "strikes" me as a very tough AI to kill as SD. Other alternative would be to make it like Platties with a long range laser and hard-hitting pulse/torp that it prefers to use if it's in range, so you can at least dodge.

So they're fast and rangey Wattages that aren't weak to physical?

Not requesting anything. I'm coming around to the suggestion, to be honest. Just trying to get a feel for how this content would fit in with what already exists. I do think their regen shouldn't be like DC's. I haven't tried it but I'm pretty sure you need to be a damn good SD to kill DC with just a 2-shot.

Seems good to me then

Love the idea, though the range seems a bit excessive. DS is famous for low range, and 1.5k would make this thing quite annoying to kill. With Reavers already getting a range boost, I'd rather see him a very agile yet heavy (too much mass to be easily tractored) version of DC. Give them high thrust/low turn engines, have them strafe you then fly out and turn around to go again.

A flimsy, high-damage, high-range DG AI using beam weapons. You're right, not even close to reavers.




Completely idiotic. I never said I didn't want them to be difficult, you overreacting noobface. Fighting AI with excessive range isn't that much more difficult, due to their own failure to understand their advantage, but we already have too many AI with above-average range, and they're never very fun to fight against.

If you stopped to think, you would see the low-turn suggestion I posted had nothing to do with reavers, and would in fact make them fight more like the real DC, as well as vultures/condors. They would come in, unload a volley of shots into their enemy, then fly out and regen as they turn around. This is how AI like this should act, much more interesting than just another long range/low shield AI.

You're kidding, right? You can't honestly be this thick. "High damage" is completely meaningless without actual numbers, of course it doesn't hold any significance. Why you assume my idea of high damage is lower than yours, I have no idea. If admins designed them to hit in bursts as I suggested, of course they'd adjust the damage properly to go along with that.

Also, why do you freak the fuck out when someone suggests a change to your idea? You're like a little kid, totally incapable of having a rational discussion, it's embarrassing seeing you go through such theatrics over a forum post.

I say 100k shields would be decently hard for endgame players with that regen level of DC.


As for high damage, say 1-3k a shot at .2 recoil? should stack up nicely.
