So far all I would say is all the section 23s sort of draw away from the appearance of the ship, but it shouldn't be a problem when it's armed.

For a name...hmm...nevermind, I'm braindead right now.

True, mainly because their the hardpoints for the laser arrays.

A name? Hmmm. Hades? Or a titan instead of a god. Looks good, BTW.

Hades doesn't sound to far fetched actually.

Update. Ship is armed. Minor things to be tweaked.

This just in, IVL has finally released photos of their latest arsenal upgrade. The "Hades" class Armageddon. This massive and powerful vessel features their latest in laser technology and is their largest ship to date. Critics say that according to the test statistics shown, it will make a fine flagship to lead the IVL peacekeeping navy.

Yeah, you were right, the ship looks perfect now.

I was directed here to avoid hijacking ArcaneDude's VSE thread.

I just wanted to ask as to the specific methods by which your carriers function (just in general). Do they release a swarm of medium-low damage demeters, or a fewer high-damage ones? (One is better for point defense overwhelming, and the other for framerate.)

Lizzie · Post by **Lizzie** » Sun May 25, 2008 1:29 pm

Neither. The only thing modded on them is range.
The carriers engage at range with long range demeters and artillery weapons.

Damage? As far as I can see on the sb3 's you gave me, they're only range modded. Unless you changed it in the process, of course.

Ah, so they're range-modded.
Are they lifetime-modded too?

You're right, I meant range, not damage.

Nope. Or else there'd be a hellish amount of Demeter's around before the battle was over.

1. Which would break, and badly, because the Homeworld engines do not allow easy shipbuilding and customisation.

I wonder if the Essence Engine (used in Company of Heroes and Dawn of War 2... and probably Homeworld 3 if it is ever made) might work... hmm...
