Vicount v.s. Sovereign

[ArcHeavyGunner]

I was just wondering, does the super laser Sovereign have insta-kill the Viscount? If so that will make me and my fellow New Republic commanders very unhappy but those triangle ship lovers very happy. I think It should be 1 shot to take down shields and a little armor, another shot to almost kill it (like a sliver of health) and for overkill the third shot will kill it that way me and my fellow NR commanders don't leave our one major counter to SSDs on guard duty.

I highly doubt that the Sovereign-class Dreadnaught would insta-kill the Viscount in the game. Maybe it got a tweak, or it will be limited/unavailable in the era that you get the Viscount.

[tlmiller]

I know it can insta-kill an Executor.  Obviously not the same thing, but scale-wise, they're definitely similar.

I do believe that yes, the Sovereign is only in Era 3, while the Viscount is (I think) only Era 5.  So unless you're playing one of the couple GC's that can advance in eras, then the 2 wouldn't meet.

[Lord Xizer]

Yes, the Viscount is just like the Executor in terms of health and hardpoints. If the Sovereign and Eclipse can kill a Super Star Destroyer they can kill the space whale.
The odds of them ever meeting though are small as the Viscount is era 5 and Sovereigns are era 3 so unless the comp has a few left over in AoW when you get to Era 5 you have nothing to worry about(and hey, you can always put those fish people to work building more if one does get zapped)

Yeah agreed it is very small but if up close a Viscount can destroy Sovereign with it laser recharging could take down  because the viscount is a strong ship and plus i used a Sovereign against a SSD and it took a while do destroy it .

[Lord Xizer]

Yeah the Superlaser is the only thing it has over the other supers

[tlmiller]

Extremely.  You can count how far your hair grows while moving any fleet that has a Sovereign in it the things are so bloody slow (and yes, I realize this is canon).

[Lord Xizer]

Indeed, they move as slow as the death star in the vanilla game. I normally build them and leave them above Byss as additional reason for the AI to stay away from my Throneworld.

And 1 above Kuat...after all, you don't want to lose KDY...

Actually I tend to garrison Kuat in that era with what it had in the EU, 12 ISDmkIIs, 3 Praetor IIs and an Executor SSD with two Golan IIIs, two Golan IIs and a Golan I to protect the heavy cap shipyard backed up by the Hypervelocity gun on the planets surface.

that small garrison tends to discourage rebels

You call that SMALL! My fleet would be decimated even if I wasn't still stuck in Era 2, (stupid hero being illusive). That would destroy almost any fleet and guaranty MASSIVE casualties on both sides! That is a little overkill me thinks.

[tlmiller]

My garrison then for Kuat is the same on the Golans and the Hypervelocity.  But then I have 1 Sovereign, 1 Executor, 2 Praetor II's, and 4 ISD II's

How can you have more than 2 Golans at once?

I just realized there is a spelling error in the title. Stupid s key.

It's funny, in the UK we pronounce Viscount as Vicount. (The S is silent)

So it is pronounced as V- aye- count

just random I know lol

I prefer the term, Thorough as here at the Empire we don't believe there is a such thing as overkill.

[Rissien]

forgot which ship but one of the Empires ships description would say otherwise.
