Lucrehulk Ingame

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

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

[Corey]

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

[tlmiller]

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

Good lag though, I like carriers. 

[mynameisyou]

yay this is so cool.

[Revanchist]

Amazing as always. Excellent work.

[Lord Xizer]

Nice

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?

[Revanchist]

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).

[tlmiller]

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

[Singularity]

Awesome!

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

[Corey]

This shot is from 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.

[Corey]

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

[yutpaeksi]

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.

[frogoverlord]

this looks wonderful

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