U.S.S. Solaris - HP Problemse HELP!

[flarespire]

well after this i think she should end up as a god ship, just to spite B5, than damn "secret weapon"

you must improve her flarespire. She lasted half as long as the Arsenal!

or at least make her more powerfull than the arsenall, so she has a fighting chance...

[Nexxus21]

I have been waiting for this Lets see how she fairs against my modified original version Oh I failed to mention I added a forward quantum launcher  

[flarespire]

it already HAD fore quantumn launchers.....

[Jb06]

Fixed ;)

Why should the Solaris be stronger than the Arsenal?  Pardon the pun, but don't think with ya' arses.  The Arsenal is a frikkin' warship.  That's why it's called the Arsenal i.e. weapons.  The Solaris is more of an exploratory ship - obviously it takes after the Constitution class.

i agree.

and not to blow smoke, but i designed it for that purpose. as a heavy hitter, it looks the part, smells the part, breathes the part, and alot of thought went into it to make it efficient at what it does, and was built from the ground up for that role

the solaris looks like a scout craft, and to have the firepower of the arsenal barking out of it would be sheer insanity.

Well done Flarespire a very nice ship I know the effort you went through to get this released and I must say it paid off

it wouldnt, its an early 25th centurary ship, meaning that the tech is slightly more compact, so more power can come out of a ship this size, especially as the borg are becoming a bigger threat.

It's your ship afterall but if I were you, I'd make this ship more challenging to play, now it's like push fire button, cycle through phaser arcs while waiting for tricobalts to load and game over.

Try to give her some disadvantages to to counter advantages of powerful weapons and hull

[flarespire]

her main flaw is the amount of power she generates, plus im gonna quater the amout of tricobalts and half the phased torps.

[Bones]

that and you can achieve much better effect of armor by making ablative armor stronger ;)

[flarespire]

yeah, hey could you have a play around with the values for me, BCUT refuses to start 

[Bones]

I guess I could make a proposition of HP for ya

[flarespire]

thanks bones, your awsome

[Bones]

Here, just ran her against Krakow then Cortez (Sobieski is too soft for warships) and she's still tough but now shows some balance,

hull is now set to 15000 (same as Krakow which on the other hand doesn't have ablative armor so Solaris will appear stronger)
shields are now set to 15000 per each side and recharges at the rate of 10 or 9 ... can't remember
repair teams cut down to 5, 7 teams patched her up too quickly
torpedo loadout is now :
 - 160 quantums (20 realoads)
 - 48 phased (5 reloads)
 - 16 tricobalts (2 reloads)

phasers are now set to burst fire with damage factor 1200 instead of 2400 (Cortez has the same number)

it's just a proposition, feel free to tamper with it ;)

Everything about the Solaris screams "2370's small exploration cruiser".  Textures, Sovereign nacelles, quantum torpedo launchers...

[flarespire]

Actually im having it has construction finished in 2401 and launched in 2403.

Oh yeah JB, when you fixed the error above the impulse engine, you accidentally replaced the original impulse engine texture with the texture i asked you to fix.... 

EDIT: dont worry i forgot i could do it with Nifskope, its all fixed, works fine, and im glad to say this everyone, The Solaris is Finally ready for the full release!

[flarespire]

OK so i was trying to get some beauty shots of the solaris in battle and well, i noticed that the hardpoint is still scaled to the old model instead of the newer scaled correctally one, so im asking now can anybody fix this?

Model Property Editor ...

I can't understand one thing ... every single problem you encounter, you ask people to solve it for you... who made this ship then, you or every one else who answered in this thread ?

just a rethorical question ;)

[flarespire]

im still in the learning process of the tools and i dont really know anything at the moment  , as ive been kept busy with college work and a MAJOR issue with technology at home, its left me with little time to sit down and work these problems out....

believe me when i say if i could fix the issue i definatley would straight off...
