A2597 King for a day Beiträge 239	# Thema - 24.02.2010 um 19:12 Uhr Was just thinking about this... In X3 there is some balance between the races and ships. (Maybe not in the Kestrels case, but even then, it's close). A M5 is fairly well matched with another M5, a destroyer is almost always a match for another destroyer. (Unless player armed for the occasion). Will this happen in your mod, or will we have more of an "As seen on TV approach, where a Sharlin is more than a match for most other species ships, etc.

SpuddyMcFuddy Moderator Herkunft: Derbyshire Beiträge 571	# Antwort: 1 - 25.02.2010 um 13:08 Uhr Let's just put it this way. You won't take out a Sharlin with an Omega destroyer Likewise, you won't easily take out a Nial with a Starfury. However. It will have a degree of balancing. In the show, you got the distinct impression that a Sharlin could take out a fleet of Omega's simply cos the Omega's could never lock on. CLearly this would, a tad, annoying. So you'll be able to take out a Sharlin, you'll just need to be a bit more tactical about where you hit the craft.... not that a Sharlin has many "blind spots"

A2597 King for a day Beiträge 239	# Antwort: 2 - 25.02.2010 um 15:19 Uhr yea, part of what brought this question on is that the Homeworld 2 mod is as of yet unbalanced....and I got to watch the full fury of a Sharlin War cruiser against two warlocks and some Hyperions... I won the fight, but lost a couple ships in the process. And though "Damn, I want to see that from a fighters prospective!"

I_E_Maverick Moderator Beiträge 1427	# Antwort: 3 - 25.02.2010 um 15:26 Uhr We are pretty much with the series there, but you dont need to be afraid, it should still be fun to play. But as Spuddy has said already you need a bit more than one omega to kill a sharlin. Otherwise it wouldnt feel like b5, dont you think?

R3DSKULL Beginner Beiträge 12	# Antwort: 4 - 28.07.2010 um 07:02 Uhr Sharlin is far stronger than an omega yes. I think it would be interesting to see how it handles a white star in combat. They are stronger than any of the current EA ships except the later EA/IAS victory. That ship would probably hold its own if it used its main cannon. http://www.b5tech.com/oldb5tech/minbari /minbariships/sharlin/sharlin.html the sharlin is very heavily armed. This is also relative to which version you run into. I would not want to run into the Sharkaan or Sharoos version. There is the Valen'tha which is a single vessle the Grey sharlin which is very powerful and very special which is only seen in minbari space. This is the home of the grey council and has all the best secret techs on it. I personally would like to see this mod as realistic to the show as possible. I am personally tired of games where a shadow vessel can come in and hit with its beam weapon and not just slice a ship. in the show they even did this to vorlon ships and vice versa. One of the best space games off all time Eve-online had a sense of loss. Fear of dying really fast if you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time gives that adreneline sense of loss. Besides u can just load yer save.

Kasabian Going for pro Beiträge 588	# Antwort: 9 - 29.07.2010 um 13:46 Uhr Balance would dictate Vorlon and Shadows would not be overly tough. Realistically they should effectively one hit kill all other races. I am for "realistic" deadly shadows and impossible First Ones. It is more in keeping with the show. I agree with Amras, it is a simulator first, a game second. ------------------ ~R.I.P.

SAVOTW Moderator Beiträge 1523	# Antwort: 11 - 30.07.2010 um 11:48 Uhr He can't add the Battlecrabs...I removed the meshes just before release...same for the Vorlons and a whole host of other ships that had no weapons or needed editing or had no sectors or were top secret We will try to stay true to the show in terms of race power. If you take on the Cent/Minbari with the EA you will need to outnumber them or out think them. If you take on the Vorlon or Shadows u will need an army of light and a great GPU. But as Sheridan said there's no such thing as an unbeatable enemy
