I can't find a suggestion thread, what would you add/ DONT COMPLAIN PLZ!!!

There is a thransport DN you need to go super freghters first.

Look like I was wrong. The super heavy transport for LV can't commit to evacuate mission. I just find it odd that the Supply (It is called supply NOT transport for a reason) DN and Super heavy transport LV can't find room for civilian in an "emergency" all hand on-board evacuate mission. Being in a cargohold and alive is far more important than being dead in a super nova zone kind of thinking.

On the interesting side, Loa repair cruiser has 3000 repair points while Supply DN only has 1400 repair points. I can't figure out if that is intend or not. I am pretty sure that it is supposed to be the other way around because Supply DN only have small size mounts.

The SH transport LV, i believe, can only move defense platforms around. It's so expensive, I don't understand why you wouldn't just want an assault LV. IMO, space stations and defense satellites die too easily. If not DS's, at least make SS's harder to destroy since they do cost massive amounts of money/time.

First off just to make sure there is no confusion. What is DS and SS?

As for "Assault Shuttle LV" or at least a combination of weapon that is capable of bombard the population without hurting Climate Hazard like Siege Drivers does is what I would like to see out of invasion, not "scorch earth tactics" invasion. Right now the assault shuttle mount are in conflict with existing siege driver mount because they accomplish bombard very differently. Siege driver don't care if the planet remain habitation after the bombard meanwhile assault shuttle do. To be fair I can see siege driver being used against satellites or starbases since they don't move.

I know I can order siege driver to not fire all the time but then I feel like it is a waste of two siege driver if I never want to use them in a bombardment. So instead I would use another LV with more Climate Hazard friendly mounts. As a result I don't use invasion LV for planet bombardment at all. Actually there is one case where I would use invasion LV as it is freely but that is a fringe case. Because Loa don't use climate hazard to colonization then you can freely push climate hazard around as much you want. But then I just remember that Loa have problem with using LV at FTL speed due to NPG limit so the whole thing is moot at best until they add in optional FTL usage.



Interesting the SotS 2 Rorschach wikipedia don't have weapon damage listed for siege driver or assault shuttle. I will use SotS prime's siege driver and advance assault shuttle weapon data instead.

Adv. Assault Shuttle: Terraform damage - zero points, Population damage - 1.2 million
Siege Driver: Terraform damage - 100 points, Population - 150 million

It just list terraform damage and I don't know how that translate into climate hazard rate. Keep in mind both weapons can be use more than once. I don't recall how many assault shuttle mounts exist on invasion LV. I was just surprise that there was not a new assault shuttle type to take advantage of LV enormous size more than anything.

ds=defense satellite ss=space station

I agree with you on ur LV rant. If something does more damage than average, it should do some climate damage too as a trade off. The amount of damage that the siege drivers do however, seems kinda counter productive.

When you say the siege driver does 100 pts. of terraform damage, is that per shot or what?
Same question with the assault shuttles too.

 

[Tavior]

Yes per shot. Or in case of assault shuttle deployment. I get what you are saying about if there is lot of damage then climate hazard will suffer for it.

I just can't image that I would not be able to wipe out a size 10, forge and gem included, with nothing but assault shuttles and some missiles with subversion for redirecting planet missiles back at them in a few rounds or less.
