    Ok I am back, clears throat a·hem a·hem. I also analysed all the countermeasure bps in the game and came to my expert conclusion that if a player has two flak turrets and two coxial turrets and a counter measure Harlock triton their base will be safe from this new **** hull and weapon. The reason I say this is because you need 60 salvos to hit to create the 2nd shockwave so all them counter measures will shoot down so many of these ice missles from this new **** weapon that only 2 salvos will it the target. With only two salvos hitting the target I conclude no shockwave will be present thus making this new hull and weapon USELESS!!!!
    I have never seen any launcher weapons shot at by any type of counter measure.

    noone cares about the double 12k-24k crap acause all the other weapons do it too atm. impules shows7xxx is relly 3xxx thats still 4x the damage and attched to a base3x supoercharger with longer range....oh boy, its not often i ask for a nerf...maybe 5 times in over 25 years of playing games have i seen something this badly balanced


    aqnd to jack specifically you realize that 60 only takes 5 launchers total to do in one volly? it doesnt take 60 shots to blow something up, you get 3-5 shockwaves per volly, and wrongfully flaggin every post cause you dont like that your wrong is very lame (and agaisnt rules isnt it?)

    Yes. Just the built-in 3x Supercharge does that. It means you build up stacks 3 times faster than normal.

    your r10 nukes compare to this less favorably then threshers compare to goresabers. scratch the gores build, this trumps EVERYTHING in the game

    Ok people let me do some expert analysis ill put it in simple terms so you all understand, so sit down grab a drink shut up n let me talk here. New hull and weapon is like a pellet gun ( **** hull and weapon ) compared to lets say my decked up ( R10 Mercuries with siege A and strike Ls ) aka a 50 caliber machine gun. Scrap this junk and bring back a real hull like the Avenger and then we got ourselves a raid. Thank you for listening.

    Just as I get my NC's to Legendary... lulz.
    Funny you mention that. There's talk around the office of trying to implement a VXP transfer feature that would let players move existing VXP or ranks to other ships. It would probably have some sort of time cost associated to it, but this would let players with your situation avoid that pain. Thoughts?
    Absolutely! :D I have ships I barely use anymore that my new ships can use their VXP for. :D

    Lets not forget that it has 4 specials, base armor is higher and faster base combat speed. Also probably lower build time that the NC's

    They should make a conversion option... scrap the hull made obsolete aka nuke and get a week off the new hull... helps with folks keeping old hulls and helps with build times

    Now that kix has helped us with a great weapon to help us defend our bases with,  will people complain that their crusader fleets have been  slowed down ? The new hull looks good  but I believe the weapon is what everybody should get  regardless of level.

    I am reading the range and dps numbers on these new gimmick prizes, dunno they aint up to par, you get more dps with the campaign launcher and when you use Kixeye math the range is 94 + ( 100-94 +5% )=s 94.3 range. Everything out ranges you and the launcher from the campaign got more juice. To me this is all a big gimmick. The hull don't even look good, it's ugly. As for the token store that is a scam because they jack up initial hull build times and repair times so really we are on a plateau. I am an expert player, I know my stuff and Kixeye really screwed the pooch this raid. This hull and weapon would not be able to kill a lvl 40 stronghold!!!!
    You dont seem like an expert dear one your math is off, the range is alot longer than that 98.7
    He's either an idiot or a troll, when I figure out which I'll let you know.
    why not both?  >:)

    Doom what about the Borbas Goresaber,?

    There was a post earlier today MADE BY A PLAYER.  It had all kinds of WRONG info.  The Borbas Goresaber was part of the post.  The post went viral and was posted all over social media sites.  As the past has shown in this game when it comes to Raids, FM, Special events (LIB, Going Rouge ect).  Until DOOMROOSTER post it, it isn't official and even then is subject to change.

    You are asking a question no MOD can answer.  Like you the MODs are players and not on the Dev team.  Sorry I can't tell you what you want to hear, but I honestly don't have and can't get that answer.  Only DR and the Devs knows this info.
