[glow=gold,2,300]Update/change of topic: No longer:[/glow] [glow=red,2,300]"Norways; What Can't They Do.[/glow]

[glow=blue,2,300]O.K. Folks I have found the new Norways of 3.07.

Drum roll please...  :fish:

The C-11's Cascade Feedback! I just played a game against Mal today. I was feds and he was Dominion. After all his stupid bugs. I HATE BUGS!!!!! I decided to build some Norways. You know plasma coil to slow them down. After a while of engage/retreat he attacked with a fleet of bombers. Naturaly, I sent my fleet of Norways and a few Canaverals to defend, but little did I know, he had a fleet of C-11's coming too. The next thing I know. KABOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every single one of my ships destroyed!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it!  :-[ If you think Norways are bad, wait till you see this!!!!! [/glow]



Hello everybody, I'm kind of a noob, and I've played a few games! I've managed to win every time with Norways. On various occassions I've been outnumbered and outgunned, but thanks to the Plasma Coil, I've managed to end up victorious every time! I had like 16 Vorcha's against 10 Norways, and the Plasma coil destroyed all except 2. It took my enemy almost all of the game to build this massive fleet! After this, he quit! Does anyone know of a special weopon equivilent in any other races?

Edit:

Here's a representation of what happened yesterday. (also later in thread)

Not even Borg nanites and field of fire for the Martok luspets can compare.

Damn Norway spams .

Those were my vorchas btw - 2 full fleets     :lol:

yes, a mix of norways and canavrals is a very deadly fleet. I believe they are going to be toned down in the next patch tho.

Yeap.  Norways are little bastards.  No way to get around them, currently.  The way in which Area Effect attacks function will be balanced in the next patch.  There's a thread about that somewhere.  And races like the Klingons and Dominion who have low defensive values take Plasma Coil pretty hard.

Ha Ha! LOL! It is a good day to spam!  I think that goes against the Kittomour Accords! I smell a court martial.

NoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!  I don't know what I'd do without them!

lol dont worry, the feds will still balance.

The norways will get toned down but i beleive other ships are getting a boost here and there.

Yeap.  Norways will still be powerful.  You simply will no longer be able to destroy 50 vessels in one shot with your Norway fleet.

So the crew is taking that down to 49 as previously suggested

  The plasma coil is a little unbalanced at the moment. U cand wipe a fleet no matter how big it is, but that will change in the next patches. I think the total damage of the weapon will divide to the number of ships. The more ships U have, the little the damage taken.

no strictly true, ive learned a happy trick for norway, i break my fleet usually in to 4 or 5 groups depending on how many, maybe more , depends on fleet size an stick really crappy ships at the front and then the rest i spread out along the sides and back so all of my fleet is spread out and diverse, also i don't tell me fleet to attack theirs but instead carry on moving so once he fires his plasma coil it will hit the crap ships first but their fly past it anyway so only recieve a small amount of damage and then i should have him completely circled in and trapped (though you need to change the alert status of ur first group so they dont get tempted to go of course)

thats why im trying to get everyone to play at game speed three now, it allows better micro so you can do things like that.

Noob question: Seeing as I never get the chance to play online, what speed does everyone play at?!
I've always used the notch below half-way, it's just always seemed the coolest looking/most fun. Any faster and it becomes less fun and too much clicking, slower and it's too long to wait for anything to happen

I have no problem with erasing the plasma coil ability for the norway completlty. BUT the rest of it should stay as it is. The romulans have its spam ship and even so, you can take norways for spam ships. Now, the klingons and the dominion need a spam-ship too and everything is okay

sound nice mark but can u show it with a video or something like...vs a good fed player

how about making the norway fire the plasma coil from the ship, moving to the enemy, not just pop out the coil out of nowhere. that could make it evadeable.

posted on May 17th, 2009, 12:46 pm

Indeed. Dogfight range for the Plasma coil would be a good solution and there wouldn't be the necessity to reove it's power.

But I believe the FO has already implemented a solution in their 3.0.6.
