Got a Leviathan!

[ChinpoUK]

Well, after many hours and several retries, I finally managed to get a Leviathan. It's sooo big! I can't wait to get one of these in battle!

Sadly I haven't managed to get that far yet >.<

Which kind of weapons did you mount on it? And what's on those 3 big turrets?

Off the top of my head, for the standard Leviathan; I had a mix of missles, pulsed phasers, positron beams, impactor drivers and anti-matter cannons. Those 3 big turrets are Impactor drivers (There's 5 of them )

Damn you'd be able to bring down a planet with that kind of firepower, reminds me of how they described the Executor in Star Wars what with whole systems surrendering for just sighting it.

If you ever manage to get it in battle, try to take a screenshot of it with a dreadnought and a cruiser beside it for comparisons, please!

After waiting 80 turns to get this beast built, I managed to get into a small battle.

Here we go:

Leviathan Construction is on the Engineering tech tree. Do you have Battleriders researched? You need that to unlock them.

ahh so i need battle riders ok thanks hey you had any luck unlocking some more commands for dreads? ones that don't have like 500hp/armour

I just got one on an invoice sent off to the shipyards: 80 turns? That's... 4x as many turns as the one I ordered (for prototype). I do have the fast prototyping tech, but I don't think it would have made that big of a difference. What sort of tech did you have on it? I just had pretty early tech (starting missiles & particle beams) +impactors & HCL beam modules.

I just got the option to research and with 15% bonuses through science station modules, i've got 80 turns just to unlock them. If it takes 80 to build, guess I won't be fielding one any time soon

I am on turn 378 btw!

 

[Syr]

Thats likely more like 40 turns to unlock: the estimate seems to be about 2x as high as it should be.

Amazing ships!

Hey, I just had an idea. Wouldn't it be nice for a DLC for "ship configuration" to be offered sometime in the future?? With that level of detail and a whole lot of customization options, who wouldn't want that?

On my Leviathan, I had a mix of missiles, positron beams, impactors, cutting beams (I think) and phasers. It just annihilated anything it came across. One volley from it destroyed a Hiver naval sector base.

Have you tried your Morrigi Leviathan out in combat yet?

Thank you! :happy:

Man those ships looks so awsome. And the size comparison ones WOW.

 

[Lor Dric]

Excellent screens!!

 

[Syr]

Sadly not yet: I had a crash-after-combat, and so I decided to do eat some lunch before resuming gameplay.

Beautiful screenshots. I just love to see those small small turrets on that giant hull. Really shows how huge that thing is.
