Federation Weapons

posted on December 27th, 2010, 6:06 pm

Hello at all,

Most federation vessels have more than only one torpedo tube or phaser arcs. Like the Intrepid Class or the Akira Class.

What we have in STFO is:
Many different types of torpedos with different damage and range.
Many different types of phasers with different damage.
Every vessel that is equipded with photon torpedos fires only one torpedo per volley. Range and damage of phasers is depended on the energy they get from the ships they are used on. Am I right?
Every vessel fires only one phaser, excluding the Monsoon Class.
I looks a bit chaotic here  I'm sorry 

The Idea:
There are only three types of photon torpedos for all federation vessels at all.
Type 1 Photon torpedos: Medium range
Type 2 Photon torpedos: Long range
Type 3 Photon torpedos: Artillery range (alternating to Quantum Torpedos)
There are two types of phasers at all.
Type 1 phasers are used on all Antares Yard vessels
Type 2 phasers are used on all Eraudi Yard vessels


I don't thought more about it than that what I have written here.
Because I can't write mods for the game on my on I won't be able to create testable examples... 
But I hope this idea is usable in some case.

no need for apologies for bad english, we cant all be english.

many people here are german, so if u feel more comfortable writing in german you could write it in german and english, its more effort, but then the german speakers will understand you perfectly.

im not sure i understand your suggestion.

if u are suggesting that fleetops ships become like your ideas, then i disagree.

they would become kinda similar to each other, and more boring. i like the fact that the monsoon fires 2 phasers instead of 1.

Maybe the Intrepid could temporarily fire two phasers when dealing with stronger opponents and fire volley photon torpedoes.

Sounds to me like he means uniform weapons range/power. Like my weapons pack for stock a while ago; all ships with type-10 phasers have the smae weapon, all ships with type-3 photons have the same weapon, ect.

Well, these are english based forums. I thought it would be better to speak english here...

You got me wrong.

It is just an idea not something that I want to have on every ship in fleetops.You are right, if allo ships would use that it would be boring.
But what about it, if only one ship is using it?

I'm thiniking of the akira class here - I think it would be perfectly suitable for that.
Maybe it is not to use in the normal game, but as a veteran.

i dont the idea of an intrep and a sovvie firing the same phaser.

they should look similar, but the sovvie should deal more dps with its phaser since it has more power.

Well, these are english based forums. I thought it would be better to speak english here...

true, what i was suggesting would be writing your posts in both. so write in english, then do horizontal line then write in german.

As I wrote, the power and range of the phasers is depended on the power the vessel warpcore can transfer to it.

The Intrepid has not the power of a Sovereign. And if they had the same phaser weapon the Sovereign would make more dps cause of it's powerlevel.

I liked the idea of TCR_500.
The Intrepid is a good vessel in Fleetops (my favourite).
But a "fire blast" with 2 phasers and a volley of tropedos would have a similar effect like the to the Precise Volley of the Remore Class...

true, what i was suggesting would be writing your posts in both. so write in english, then do horizontal line then write in german.

I can do that, but I'm tooooo lazy XD
Now for sure - writting in english is good training for me, cause I don't use my english that much...
