Title: Lucrehulk Ingame
Post by: Corey on May 06, 2013, 05:10:02 PM
The second new Pentastar unit in 2.1, the Lucrehulk. We're still playing with the scale on it. I'm using an integrated chip right now, so the picture's a little lower res than I'd like

Model: Davis
Skin: Davis, Corey

This is just a giant carrier in the game, correct?  Or is this the battlecruiser version of the Lucrehulk?

It's the Battleship variant, but basically every single Lucrehulk variant is effectively a carrier. It's a delivery system for the CSA fighters.

I can imagine the lag with a few Lucrehulks and Venators....

Good lag though, I like carriers.  :D

It's a carrier with a massive number of guns and moves at a snails pace.

It's perfect. Well Done.

I guess 3,170m is a little beyond the point where scaling gets tricky from a playability point of view.  How've you got it at the moment, about 4/5ths of the Praetor?

So what would be about the largest ship this could take on in a 1v1 match (just trying to get a gauge of its strength)?

P.S.: also what will it cost (I'm assuming rather expensive to buy).

It would actually be 2/3 of a Praetor (since the Praetor ingame is the mk II)  3170/4800 ≈ 2/3

Awesome!

Edit- Are the blue markings on the ships just for skirmish or will they look like that in GC?

True, but I was working under the assumption (possibly incorrectly, I can't actually remember) that the Praetor is slightly scaled down in the mod (in the same way the other SSDs are slightly under-scaled) - which means the Lucrehulk's size has to be adjusted so that it looks OK against both the Star Destroyer at 1600m and the undersized Praetor.

Everything over 2000 meters is scaled down a bit from what it should be, or else you get even worse pathfinding issues.

Beautiful, can't wait to get annoyed at 900 CSA fighters flying towards me, lagging the game!

Still it's a great addition to the PA, gives them even more of a fleet identity. Great job once again guys.

I like the Blue markings on the hulls. I hope the SSD model gets touched up as well if possible.
