Another possible hangar pet: missile battery

momawmomaw Member Posts: 0 Arc User
In my ongoing enthusiasm for making carriers as flexible and interesting as possible, another possibility for a hangar pet: The missile battery. Basically a drone system, triggering the battery launches 4 small craft which will steer toward your target and detonate on them. The drones have good defense value but will die to a single hit by anything. Each one does about as much damage as photon torpedo when it detonates. Effectively a 360 degree torpedo launcher firing projectiles that can be intercepted, with less total DPS than fighter spam (since it only "shoots" once per launch) but packed into a bigger hit. Higher quality versions move faster and have a bigger warhead.

    I admit, that's...a really nice idea.

    Useful, spammy true, but not ridiculous or anything, really they are just right at being effective without going over the top.

    I would say, this is essentially 'stealing the Bio Neural, but honestly, it really wouldn't be considering these die in one shot, and the Bio Neural if it dies, still explodes and does damage anyways.

    Pretty much just a barrage of targetable torpedoes.
    I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    I'm not sure how well the Podlaying Superdreadnought concept translates to STO.
