Lara White Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 OOC: Which battle? I have space-based weapons that can hit on the ground better than a Dropship. And it's not like Dropships have FTL or the ability to stand in a battle line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 OOC: With the way they sound now, I think they do have FTL, given that the new profile for them doesn't mention them fitting in a carrier bay.Also, space-based weapons have problems with atmospheres, especially energy weapons. Dropships are good for when you want to take a planet without charring everything.

Lara White Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) OOC: Look up Project Thor. 20' long, 1' thick tungsten poles that can hit within 25 feet of any place on Earth, and the only problem was the normal stuff associated with getting things into space. No problem there. I've installed that on one of my medium-class ships for the explicit purpose of precision bombardment. Also, I'd imagine weapons systems are more expensive than bunks and empty space to hold people and equipment.

Lara White Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) OOC: And now we're back to the glorified shuttle concept, because if you want to capture it you're putting boots on the ground. I'm sorry, there's no way I'm seeing this as more expensive than an armored, weapon-laden frigate. If you all want to spend your Industry points on Dropships, sure, but I'm sticking with shuttles and such to get my guys down.

Lara White Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 OOC: Well, there are two scenarios here. Either we're talking about a Troop Transport, which is FTL-capable and is solely for moving troops between systems (not an idea I like) or we're talking about a Dropship/shuttle, which is not FTL-capable and can only move men from orbit to surface. Neither of these ideas makes any sense to be more expensive than a Frigate. The Dropship idea shouldn't even register on an Industry scale (especially for me, because I use shuttles and, on class 3+ planets, Space Elevators, to move stuff into orbit anyway), and a Troop Transport (which is mostly empty space to hold stuff) shouldn't cost as much as a Frigate, which is carrying a lot more stuff as part of its upkeep cost.

So we may have our supplies with us, not to mention the crew needs to re-engineer our masks for your specific atmospheric composition, which will take a little time."Before either the delegates or AI had time to respond the Minister turned around and began walking back to the ships. Over her shoulder she called out, "We'll see you ground-side at the base of the elevator in half a hour."With that she jumped into the belly of the Hamara, the two guards following right behind her. The chitinous armor sealed shut and the droning of the ships grew higher-pitched and the craft began to raise off the ground. In unison the three vessels glided out of the hanger. Viisas immediately confronted her crew."Remember, we want to keep our situation with this race peaceful at all costs. This will hopefully be the only exception we'll have to make.

Alex Humva Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) OOCFrom my discussions with Xom, he's told me many times that large ships cannot enter the atmosphere and survive, for reasons I have yet to figure out. I mean really, even if it's a ship the size of a city, it's already ****ing expensive, what's coating it with thermal plating going do at this point? It's like spending a million bucks then whining about another thousand dollars.And having a city-ship land and disperse hundreds of thousands of troops would just be awesome, IMO.Necro~Methinks you can go greet ToA, but you're kinda on opposite sides of the sector with Power Xom and Rover.

Necro Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 OOC: Fine by me, their alliance was the latter, not the prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
