Ascendancy Discussion / Re: Ship Ability Lists & Discussion
« on: February 17, 2015, 09:57:07 AM »The purpose of this thread is to give an overview of all the abilities available to each ship in the mod, allow people to give feedback, and let everyone know what's done and where there's still room for suggestions. Anywhere there's a red question mark, we're completely open to any ideas anyone may have. In general we're trying to give each capital ship four active abilities since there's fewer of them and it's easier for players to micromanage their use, and each frigate 1 or 2, usually passive abilities which help them be relevant as support ships without being individually overpowered (ie the Strike Cruiser and Carrack Cruiser's abilities), although we're not opposed to passives on a Capital and actives on a frigate.
I've only listed what's currently in-game in some form
Viscount
1. More then one layer of shields (Backup like the ships of Mon Cal are described in almost all literatur) (The Viscount's shields had backups, like previous Calamari designs, and were thus highly regenerative - Wookiepedia) (A distinguishing feature of Mon Calamari cruisers was the redundancy of weaker shield generators contributing to the shielding system. Mon Calamari cruisers carried three times the usual number of generators for ships of their size. Although each generator was weaker than the Imperial standard unit, the quantity of shield generators allowed for faster energy replenishment. Also, this made the generators much harder to destroy, as they could not be seen clearly and were in fact inside the ship. These shields also allowed Mon Calamari Cruisers to survive better against spacial elemental threats.)
2. Able to carry more fighters (Ships of the class could carry hundreds of starfighters, as well as dozens of small support vessels - Wookiepedia)
3. Can Carry up to 4 CR90 (Ships of the class could carry hundreds of starfighters, as well as dozens of small support vessels,[6] including frigate-sized ships - Wookiepedia)
4. Bacta Tanks and Fighter repair aka faster repair like Hajens 2 skills (To support wounded in combat, the Viscount-class had hundreds of self-replenishing bacta tanks in its medical wings.[7] It also had fighter repair bays, for the repair and maintenance of the ship's starfighters - Wookiepedia)
5. Point-defense laser cannons that shoot at lot of the missiles thats incomming
Nebula
1. Either a host an space superiority wing consisting of hyperdrive-equipped E-wings, A-wings, or upgraded X-wings or
2. host an assault wing made up of a mixture of K-wing bombers for precision strikes and Defender starfighter for close support
3. Either a Star Destroyer or a Fleet Carrier (Following the New Class practice of using the same hull for multiple configurations, the Nebula-class Star Destroyers shared their basic spaceframe design with the Endurance-class fleet carriers)
4. AbilityTargetHangar
5.Tractor Beams to target and keep 1 capital enemy ship from fleeing
this should not be a ability but be refelcted by stats (system of lateral thrust vents to increase the ship's maneuverability, giving it far greater agility then most large capital ships)
Endurance
*1. Force Push - Jedi aboard this ship use the force to remove threats from firing range.
2. Either a host an space superiority wing consisting of hyperdrive-equipped E-wings, A-wings, or upgraded X-wings or
3. host an assault wing made up of a mixture of K-wing bombers for precision strikes and Defender starfighter for close support
4. AbilityAlphaStrike
5. Fighters can micro jump as all NR fighters except Kwing was able to FTL and then make alpha strike so instead of having long flight time insta warp to target (Actually that should be true for all fighters both NR and Remnant)
MC90
*1. Power to Shields - Power is diverted from weapons and engines to shields, increasing shield regeneration for a short period of time.
*2. Shield Aegis - This ship extends its powerful shields to allied ships around it, enhancing their shield mitigation for a short time.
*3. Force Pull - Jedi aboard this ship use the force to pull targets closer to it.
4. AbilityIonBlast
5 Proton torpedo launchers
MC80B
*1. Power to Shields - Power is diverted from weapons and engines to shields, increasing shield regeneration for a short period of time.
2. Double the fighters (The MC80B cruiser carried four starfighter squadrons. Later ships in this line were refitted to hold up to eight squadrons)
3. AbilityReflectiveShields
4. AbilityIonBlast
5.Drop the force pull and call it tractorbeam pull (there wherent that many Jedi in the new republic)
MC80
*1. Power to Shields - Power is diverted from weapons and engines to shields, increasing shield regeneration for a short period of time.
*2. Boarding Party - This ship sends out a boarding party to capture an enemy vessel. While boarding is attempted, neither ship can move. If the target ship would be destroyed in this time, it instead joins the New Republic's fleet.
*3. Droop Troops - The MC80 drops soldiers to liberate the planet and establish a New Republic presence.
4. Kill fighters (The Turbolasers and the Ion cannons possessed advanced targeting systems and were able to track and destroy fighters and smaller craft.)
5. Interlaced shield (their shielding capability was far more advanced. The multiple backup shields and multiple shield generators ensured that a Calamarian cruiser could not only last in combat against more heavily armed opponents but also they had more protection from spacial elemental threats)
Assault Frigate
1. AbilityBombardEmpire
2. please remove AbilityProjectForce as there are not that many jedis
3. Increase shield strength they had better shield then Imperial Dreadnaught but less armour
also it had no Fighters that was removed when rebuildt to NR AF
Bothan Assault Cruiser
1. AbilityHullBreach
2. In addition to the array of weapon emplacements, the cruiser's two hangars carried four squadrons of starfighters
3. AbilityBothanSpies
4. AbilityBombardEmpire
5. Proton Torpedoes (twenty proton torpedo launchers with sixteen missile magazines, and four tractor beam projectors.)
Defensively, the Bothan Assault Cruiser was a vast improvement to the Victory-class Star Destroyers it was intended to replace. Both armor and shields on the cruisers were 150 percent heavier than on the Victory-class
Proficient
1.
2. ?
MC40
*1. Power to Shields - Power is diverted from weapons and engines to shields, increasing shield regeneration for a short period of time.
2. Escort (Follow specific Ship behind it) instead of flying around on its own)

A common configuration for combat-oriented corvettes consisted of six H9 dual turbolasers.[1] A similar armament was mounted on the CR92a Assassin-class corvette, a successor of the CR90 that was designed exclusively for combat roles
One of the rarer variants could carry starfighters, such as the Night Caller and Constrictor.

4. Escort (Follow specific Ship behind it) instead of flying around on its own)
5. Guard (Circle a Planet / Orbital installation / Ship )
VSDI:
*1. Overwhelm - The ship transfers power from engines and shields towards weapons for a limited time, increasing damage output.
2. Precise Groundstrike (Unlike later Star Destroyer designs, the Victory possessed the ability to enter the upper levels of a planetary atmosphere.

(Both Strike and VSDI can land and attack even through Planet shield)
3.Concussion Barrage (80 concussion missiles tubes)

6. Guard (Circle a Planet / Orbital installation / Ship )
It was later an important addition to the Imperial Navy; although 350 meters long, the small combat cruisers were heavily armed and had a top speed that matched X-wing starfighters.
Acclamator:
1. Fittet as Dropship (it was buildt to move and attack with clone troopers) or
2. The Acclamator II-class was designed primarily to carry out orbital bombardments, and as such its troop complement was reduced by nearly eighty percent in order to make room for the added weaponry
Lancer:
*1. Point Defense: instantly annihilates several fighters within the vicinity of this craft. (AbilityPDGreen)
2. AbilityThrawnDoctrine
3. Escort (Follow specific Ship behind it) instead of flying around on its own)

Mu:
*1. Explore - Passively jumps between systems, gaining information.
Fighters
Differentiate Between Fighters (fx x-wing should have proton torpedoes, B-wing should have ion heavy/lasers/Proton torpedoes)
Make Fighter squadrons the same size except the big bombers (K-wing)
All fighters that can warp should use micro jump to get to target fast
All fighters that have shield should have better survivability (More Arnour/shield)
All fighters should have different speed and Armour and shield and manouvre values
Defense
Space stations should have longer range
There should be upgrades to make fighter defenses (That was both used by Empire and NR (But specially the last) , these should be some of the first as they are easy to deploy)
Hapans
the Hapans fitted their Battle Dragons with launchers for charges known as pulse-mass mines, which produced much the same effect. However, pulse-mass mines could not be turned off or controlled like gravity wells, so this trapped the Hapans in the battle as well
Wall of text by used those ability's i think work and given some that i suggest should be there either instead off or because there issent any right now
