Its the special weapon of the kvort ship. I think its too **** strong, a couple of them easily destroy a ship and 16 kvorts destroy the whole starbase (!!)
Also it only costs 45% special energy so u can fire 2 of them from 1 ship -.- AND it can be fired while cloaked.
I think they should make it do less damage or at least make it consume more special energy....

yeah it should cost slightly more special energy, but i think its power is ok, afterall it is an offensive ship. yeah it can be fired while cloaked, but while cloaked you can only fire 1 of them. in short yeah it should cost more special energy  |

u can mass them quickly in the game and then u can go to opponents base and destroy his starbase or whatever u want, no way to defend against it.... Thats what bothers me  |

khhhm actually you can't fire it twice while cloacked, couse the cloack uses 20% of the special energy and the torpedo uses 45% that only leaves 35%(and with intention i believe)
and for further calculation, the hit takes 7-8 hull percent on the starbase.

Cause of many rebalanced for v3 nearly all special abilities got rebalanced. including the shield breaking torpedo. the changes made are: - Damage reduced by 30%
- Energy costs increased to 55
- Can now only target hostile vessels (can no longer be used on stations)
Besides that "massing" units in the early part of the techtree will get a little more difficult to make vessels at the end of the techtree more interesting |

cool, although i am quite disappointed that the damage will be reduced by a whole 30%. would think that increasing the special energy requirement would be enough to balance things, it is an offensive ship afterall  |

the damage a weapon does is controlled by it's odf file, in there is a value labeled as base damage. that value is how much damage the weapon will do to either hull or shield (unless certain factors are applied) eg: (inside the ordinance odf for a weapon) damageBase = 9 <indent> fed_intrepid.odf 12 the base damage is the value for the damage it will do in general, adding a specific ship/station odf underneath will allow you to set the damage for a specific unit (here the fed intrepid) the value for specific units can be lower or higher it doesnt matter. |

well, i believe the weapon will be okay, it's still a great advantage to be able to shoot while cloacked and you'll still be able to use 6-7 ships and destroy a ship safelly.

What a pity!  No, I'm glad to see it's balanced now and it has been balanced pretty good! (But nevertheless you had the tachyon detection grid and turrets against it.) |
