It was put in as a cruiser instead of a capital ship because the NR needed cruisers more than capital ships, and they're not as iconic as the MonCal line of capitals.Oh and did it replaced a ship in that slot? If not, I understand what Corey meant when he said if Dreadnaught was removed, it wouldn't be replaced by another ship.

The only other ship I know they're adding in 2.2 is the Republic-Class Star Destroyer, though that's a capital ship.Oh I thought Dauntless was a capital ship considering her fluff describing her as 2nd largest cruiser in the fleet and being over a kilometer long.

Playing NR in the demo is 45% using Imperial ships, 35% using Hapan ships, and 20% using the only decent NR cruisers in the demo. I don't even waste my time building fighter squadrons as cruisers that carry fighters are actually victory-relevant.

« on: April 06, 2017, 06:02:51 PM »Why aren't we using the Dauntless Cruiser? It has ion cannons and in Ascendancy it has enough room for an X-Wing squadron. No need to replace the Dreadnaught if we have that in the demo.The Dauntless in the demo is messed up. It currently has a hangar and is supposed to drop 2 X-Wing squadrons and 1 Y-Wing squadron (according to the text tooltip, but the code only gives it 2 X-Wing squadrons), but the hardpoint is broken somehow and the game doesn't think it exists so it ends up not having any fighter support. The Dauntless acts more like a fast tank and as far as damage goes, it ranges from underwhelming - average.

Edited: Hrm well, giving NR access to Carrack can be justified. It was widespread like Dreadnaught (as Assault Frigate in NR hands) and it is tough and fast which supplement the starfighters very well enough. The only reasons that I brought up Carrack is so the team doesn't have to develop a new model and both factions did use it.
If we remove the Dreadnaught for them, it wouldn't be replaced. Their roster is pretty loaded as is.

« on: April 05, 2017, 11:45:34 PM »This description made me laugh so hard and I don't know why.Actually you can get some for free by taking Hapes in any GC it's present in. As for an ionic frigate... Maybe the CC-9600 http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/CC-9600_frigate or the Liberator-Clas Cruiser http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Liberator-class_cruiser, though the latter may be more of a capital ship. Also if they don't mind making up a new ship design, they could do the Proficient-Class Cruiser : http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Proficient-class_cruiser for later eras (4-5).
I personally think that the nr could swap out a ship for something a little more ionic. The battle dragons fill the role pretty well but are only available in hunt for zinji (as far as I know).
