Why does Turtle+ have 1 weapon slot?


come on. lol

My suggestion. To prevent it from being slaved like a Selen.

its t15 with only 3 augs, selens still wtf rape it. give it at least 2 so you can have a transference and a engi controller?

It has an in built OL that boosts drone stats. And Std Elect, etc Controllers are not weapons. There are only 2 Drone Controller weapons. One, the mission reward, has the same bonus as the OL, and the second is the Emp one.

im using it on a shm, and i cant have a weapon to control slaves targets, and a weapon to heal at the same time.

Tractors....

You have to make a compromise. Tractor the ai and gain aggro, or not tractor and have no target control.

using skillpoints for other things.


also wheres the orca :O

Orca is live - points if you find it.

do controllers from ur slaves boost your own dropped drones and does the turtle+ drone stats boost the controllers (if slaved) drones stats?

Put bluntly: no idea.

I designed the new freighters, but PaperTiger is the 'drone guy' - I'll flag this up for him to answer.

Where's my points?

Orca is a reasonable ship, but I feel it will be overlooked by the "Usual" setups that pump nothing else but it. It's rare that you get anybody playing the lower levels for the fun of it since honestly they aren't that fun.

Congratulations for being the first to find it.

It was intended, like the Turtle(+), to be a ship for newbies. I'm aware that most old-timers will either go for a Selenologica or simply skip to a Pax Astro / Rhino depending on wealth, however, I feel there should be options for the first time player that are some-what nice.

Long term, we're hoping that C2 will bring an influx of new players, where this type of content will be useful. And yes, a whole new generation of players* will have to work out how to get into Deflection, which is part of the charm of SS.




*I received a PM from a very old char thanking me for making this part of SS 'happen' again. They also mentioned some other ancient experiences that were 'fun'... not sure I agree on mining CM by hand however.

Thanks for the Orca location lol.
Also, mining CM is a good thing, as I have paid many noobs handsomely to mine me vast amounts. Its another tedious job that noobs can get easy cash for.

Just to confirm, btw - there will be a mission chain for an Orca+. At T17, it'll be a mission reward (item form) not a BP.

I might remove the Orca ship and replace with a BP, since that would probably more fit the Porpoise build.
