Lasers are anti-fighter, turbolasers are anti-ship. The unit cards tell you roughly what the DPs of any weapon type on a ship is, although the game doesn't divide that by bank so it's not always the best picture. If you look in the beta explanation news post, there's a link to a spreadsheet which has stats for all the different banks of every weapon type on every ship in the mod.

With corvettes and strike craft, you're not really expecting to see them directly unless you're zooming pretty far in, and unless you made them 4-5x as big as they are, which would look incredibly weird, that would always be the case.

« on: July 09, 2017, 08:36:37 PM »Is there a particular name for the size of the YT series being introduced in the next update? And they preform well against fighters and cap ships but are likely to be destroyed by Corvettes and frigates yes?
We're using YT-1300s for them right now, and we're classifying them as "corvettes" in Sins terms (which is different from what we'd typically call corvettes), but yeah, the rest is right.

« on: July 09, 2017, 06:40:31 PM »Random strange question. Have you considered making NR "Jedi-focused" upgrades to possibly make Elite "Jedi" versions of ships or squadrons possible, because I was looking over the lack of abilities for NR caps in the thread and thought "why not Jedi upgrade abilities?"
I think Jedi ships shouldn't be any larger than fighters/corvettes. Capital ships with a Jedi advantage wouldn't feel right imo. An overpowered fighter unit or corvette would fit the NR theme though.

Basically, like the Empire of the Hand, while we were really only exposed to two major classes and a handful of other stuff, we do know they had thousands and thousands of ships, and the shipyards to build and maintain quite large fleets or individual ship, so we're taking the "Battle Dragon" designation to be similar to the "Star Destroyer" designation. The typical "Hapan Battle Dragon" being just one variant or class within a much broader spectrum, much like the Imperial-class is a "Star Destroyer,"but you also have stuff like VSDs, Tectors, Interdictors, etc which fall under that general term.

« on: July 06, 2017, 04:48:00 PM »We have announced the Hapans as the next playable faction, we haven't announced any beyond that yet.

« on: July 06, 2017, 04:44:06 PM »Just curious, are there plans to add the Hapes Consortium or the Yuzhong Vong as factions? I have been trying to find information on this but have been unable to so far.
