MVA

for those who don't know what MVA is.. multi vector attack.

as seen in 'message in a bottle' 1 on the great voyager shows..!

now chatting with friends.. if you split will the other sections be classed as pets?

with the nerf to pets this makes it a least buy for me..

me and a friend having a punch up awhile back..

    They're not really pets...you have no control over them...they're just ai that will shoot at stuff till they're dead or recalled.

    another question will be?

    if they are not pets and i'm running cannons, will the other section run cannons.

    and also will it hide my name over which section I fly, so as not to be targetable?

    It is good that I don't really need the MVA mode. I would have quite a bit of fun with just the one ship itself.

    For the others however, as to the question of "Are the other two parts of the ship considered pets?" the answer needs to be crystal clear. This could be the difference between everyone and their clone picking up the ship, and in the case of "yes they are pets", just me. I can understand they don't want to make them too overpowered, but they need to NOT make sure you're not splitting them into just you and a couple of crash dummies.

    And I can only guess name hiding applies to PvP, as the Borg in Khitomer will just shoot whoever, wherever. It would be nice if they could hide your name on all 3 or otherwise put it on all 3 so that indeed the other player doesn't know which one destroys you. The answer to this also needs to be crystal clear.

    Whose bright as a burnt out bulb idea was it to make boff power activations make a sound to the opponent so as to let them know you're around? And another thing, why do they get to fire at you immediately after they hear it?

    I can answer the name question, it's like all the other ships that split, it shows only the ship name on the NPC parts. As for the pets question... I don't know for sure. Overall the whole thing needs a rebuild. The NPC parts have very limited abilities and damage output along with hulls made of paper and thin paper at that.

    I did write up a whole thing on what it should be like but the new search function makes that really hard to find.

    All ships that have built-in pets (MVA, Saucers/Chevrons, etc.) Should get standard hangar commands. I'm guessing that somehow this involves giving the ship a "Hangar" however.
