Risner Avatar Ideas

posted on August 23rd, 2009, 8:20 pm

Ok I know most people think Risner isnt all that great an avatar so Ive thought of a couple though not really unique ideas to improve the offensive capabilities of some of the vessels in the build list.

Akira- Special weapon: Pulse Fire Ordinance - When activated the Akira fires 4 shot bursts of photon torpedoes at a high rate of reload, lasts until special energy runs out

Sovereign- Special weapon: Phaser Attack Patterns - When activate the sovereign fires phasers at quicker burst that do less damage per shot but cumitavely do more than at a standard firing rate. lasts until special energy runs out.

Example:
Standard damage per shot 12.187 - 1 shot every 2 seconds - Shot Delay = 2.0 Sprite Duration = 1.0 Shield hit = 1.0
Attack Pattern Damage per shot 5.0 - 3 shots every 2 seconds - Shot Delay = 0.66 Sprite Duration = .33 Shield Hit = .33

(Note: sovereign should have Photon and quantum torpedoes as standard weapons for both avatar versions, with quantums being a forward firing weapon only. Balance I leave to the Devs)

Looks like someone beat me to an opening...

Oh well, I'll just keep postin.

With the Galaxy being one of the most popular ships in Star Trek i think this would instantly transform a rarely used avatar into a viable competitor to Adm. Mason.

he galaxy is history in the timeline of FO. But i'd appreciate a higher probability to warpin a galaxy for risner and perhaps +2 warpin-slots or the ability not to count as warpin anymore for galaxies available earlier on rankup.

Maybe. But I agree, no normal warp-in ship should be buildable, they would all have finished production years ago. The descent of course could be buildable, but that is a nother discussion.

Well, the warp in does't just represent buildability, but availability. The Steamrunner is still built, for example, but it is a very rare chassis. The Descent is a prototype, so is also very rare (hence why you have to replenish supplies etc) 

EDIT: I don't really think Risner needs such a strong boost: making the Phalanx and Avalon more powerful should suffice as I think her middle game is pretty powerful--it is her late game which is somewhat lackluster.
