Now, I should be working purely on Olympus, but this has been raised, and I needed to get my head around some concepts for building items, so where better to test them?
So... The build is expensive, the brief to make an assault freighter that can't be horribly broken by everyone... hmm:
- Albatross Aug removed, stats made inherent
- Swoop Aura changed - beefed to be similar to UZ ship versions (timed buff)
- Resists altered - main base weapon type resists+, other types lowered
- Aug slots remain #3
- Launcher upgraded to be able to fire 4 fighters or missiles
- Plain version has sticky scoop that deals significant mauling damage, but cannot scoop drones
- + version has a different sticky scoop
- Inbuilt sticky item generator - new commodity factory BP in a Snaky Sun system: make a Colonial Marine Training Module, train your marines, combine them with a Bulldog Fighter to make your Assault Dropships!
- Assault Dropships are a unique type for the Assault Behemoth - use them like missiles, they're designed to be specifically used against bases (i.e. they won't do you any good against anything else). I'm fairly certain they will be effective against bases, but will require testing.
- Marines will assault bases and significantly reduce their defenses whilst on the rampage
17 XML / Balance sheets changed
This will require testing, I'll see if I can get it shoved onto test, looking for volunteers to help me - preference given to those who actually have these ships.
