LOL Uhmm Im thinking this ship may get restricted on most servers.
Although being able to do 31 holding 4 Photons and 1 ecm with 8Ph1's and 2 Drone racks, and of course effectively 4AMD
in 66 might not concern people as much as I think it will.

Anyone know what the design idea behind the Lioness CA (CAL) was?
Marine ship?

1- The F-CS Prometheus was a prototype. Only 1 was made. .. and 4AMDs? .. you mean 2, right? Yes, it should be restricted.





2- the L-CAL was to take the center of a DN (used when converting a CA to DN), and putting DD sides to it. Only 1 was made. They found that while this was an decent warship, it takes away the center from a DN which was a bad thing.

The center part has 15 warps, the DD sides have 8 warps each. That's 31 warps which is unique.

66?  That's early era, right?  There are ships in late that can't hold 4 photons and do 31. 

There wouldn't happen to be any Romulan designs for a Warbird with a stolen Fed warp engine, would there? ;D
I was never here, you were never here, this conversation never took place, and you most certainly did not see me.

Nah I saw it has 2AMD, but with also having 2 G racks not many drones are going to be hitting that puppy.   ;D


As others have said FS, thanks!

You've done an amazing job (again)

Now any chance of a "future" OP update including things like the Lyran CV's /BCV's?
I know they can be added, but I'd love to see them get their own model folder.

Thanls Again!

F-CS+ is a decent ship for mid era. 

And the NCL can run 31 with 4 photons armed while having more spare power to boot.

Late era it will get 'pwn3d' except by you, Hexx. ;)

I am worried about facing those new Klink mauler DN's though... K-MB10 with 57 batteries?!?!?!?!?!?

ACK!!!! :brickwall:

True, but the NCL+ has 2 less Ph1's One less drone rack and one less AMD.
CS+ is a better ship, out 5(?) years earlier.

Now I have to run off and chaeck out that mauler you were looking at, make sure they're not better
than the Lyran ones..   ::)

Only the Lyrans built a DN Mauler (the STL). The other ships are from R9 and are conjectural.
Before you ask, only the Gorns apparently build a War DN (the DNC which is in a CL somewhere). DNWs are CL or CW conversions to DNs. They mostly are sucky.

Only the ISC built an actual DNM. 2 in fact. DNMs are DNLs improved to DNH status, losing their fast status and returning to a move cost of 1.5. Why? This was done in X-ship era when all xships are 'fast'. DNLs are kinda a waste as they are and are far more effective as DNMs.

The F-CS should be considered a specialty ship like a fast cruiser. 

PS.  Anyone else notie the Dro
ne Control on the F-DNH and K-C10K?   ;D

Tis OK anywya, imho the STL is better than the M8.
(Although the Rom Mauler DN with 50 (!) batteries and 9 Ph1's might be nasty.)

Yeah War DN's didn't impress me that much .
The Klingon DNM and Kzin DNM seem... nasty though (14Ph1 7 racks and 6 dizzies on the Klink,)
Of course the Fed one is worse.. (7 AMD and 7 Gracks I think?)
But is the Fed supposed to come out 10 years (effectively) after the otehrs, Lyran 77, Klink + Mirak 80, Feds 90?

(Havent looked at the ISC yet, lol)

Are you just looking at ship stats, or are you flying them and checking out the models too? There's a lot of new stuff in there..

Looking at the stats for the big beaasties Ill never fly, but going through the Lyrans ship by ship.
(Course I had to change all the models, but you've done such an excellent job I'll forgive you)

Um, hexx, the 7 AMD are the 7 AMD from the G-Racks.   It doesn't have 14 AMD.

DNMs would come out whenever X-ships become available.  Are they really any worse than the DNHs or the respective races?

Hmm, well I count 7AMD on the ship as well as 7 G racks. Of course I haven't been paying attention alot so if the Grack fix has been done I'll just be quiet now. :P

Personally I think the DNm's are far superior to the DNH's. But I aslo know nothing of DN's (as I demonstarted the otehr night) so who am I to say.
Also only the Fed DnM (90) come out with the Xships, everything else seems to be 77 (Lyran) to 83 (Gorn and ISC?)

I really,really, really like the CAL thing btw, to bad they didn't do a power refit for it ...
 I'm sure I'd be almost invincible...

BTW isn't there supposed to be a L variant of the PFp's for the Lyrans?
- Not asking if FS missed something (what with 5k ships or so), just thought I remembered seeing one in the SSD books.
