Klingon miners/k'tingas

How would it be if the cargos don't fly of in one animation but one by one (or 2 everytime) for maybe 2 or 3 seconds. And then the beam is online but for the time the cargos fly of they are vaild targets for autotargeting (like fighters).

I think all should get something to defend the miners a little bit and distract the enemy

Lets say Fed with some fighters launchalbe from the miningstation and throwing out all stuff they gatherd like the klingon containers (just for full miners, but the fighters are valid targets to..., maybe just the fighters and the throw out for dom)
Romis should be able to clock the miners for some seconds away (like they can with the clocking generator but for a shorter time).
Borg allready got strong miners and sheap droppoints.
Dom... your task

The whole point of dumping pods is BOOM miner ejects its storage pods and is a warship, BOO!.


How is it taking raiding away from klinks ?

It's quite balanced this version, sure last version you could cloak right away AND go real fast, not to mention pop pods anywhere....... but that WAS over powered.


Yes, mining gets raided. Key point: Send a force strong enough to kill all crunchy bits quickly so it can run.



YOUR DOING IT WRONG!!!

Ok so he has 6 miners that MAY become ktingas ?

Kill them. if you cant, send a bigger raiding party.


So why not.... kill them.




So kill them, rank up yer stuffs.


HE was doing it RITE.

PROTIP: AMBUSH RAIDERS.


So.... manualy target!



Yes it is. Build century old battle cruiser with mining pods/magic-beam added to it, have ability to suddenly get a modern refit of a century old battle crusier.


Why not. How would cargo containers prevent firing. It's more likely that power WAS going to the mining beam, with the disruptor on hot standby, ready to go.

Oh ? How so ? It simpyl doesnt FIRE the disruptor, likely because it's busy firing a mining beam.



So the last sentence has the actual idea: You want poping pods to cause the use of the refit/constructing mode such as the generix/newton etc etc .


If that were to be the case, the klink miner would need to return to were it was last version, it gets full stats, as it takes extra time to make it active AND it isnt able to instantly defend itself like it used to.

There is no magic red button that a crew member can push and imediatly dispatch heavy crago containers or they would end up smashing into the ship and causing damage, bolts must be re;lased and even if there are explosive charges ready to detonate to release them then you have the problem of the containers smashing into the ship because the ship keeps moving.

Then the crew have to route power from the mining beam and into the disruptor cannon all this should take at least a few seconds both to actually make sense and balance. K'tingas are also pretty dam quick so you maybe taking out the klingons mining but adding to their fleet. The Pause can give more time to actually kill them just like when the klingons raid your expansion.

The 'easy dispatch' part I normally just class as part of The Law Of Conservation Of Detail. Too much detail boggz the game down.
