Third ISC Confrence
ABH
good mod, but unbalanced against Star wars mod and so on. So for the occasions when an enemy has the mod, i have retrofitted my ships to stand a fighting chance.
Majestic MK2, uses better shielding and some mine launchers to level the playing field with ABH ships.
Ildiran class MK2, Uses aformentioned shields, along with a Neutral particle beam and mines to stand up to ABH mod ships.
I like The ABH mod it is 10/10 one of the best mods ive seen for any game really, but it's kinda unfair to just launch hundreds of Quantum torpedoes at a ship before it's even in firing range. While using shields that go down, then come back up instantly even under fire from a whole capital ship triple it's size and cost.
For this reason, these ship are Only for use against other ABH Mod ships. this does Not include ships with only the thrusters / warp drives from the mod, it's only to counter Ships with exess shields and missile based weapons. such as the torpedos or deflector shields, say more than one (per direction) missiles/mines from the mod then you have to go up against the whole ship.
After all, these are slow, heavy ships. Not Missile tanks.
If you have a Valid lore reason for having such destructive weaponary, i might make an exeption, however only expect me to retreat everything asap.
When constructing these ships, i will continue to go off the Non ABH variants.
all new ships Will not use ABH, as i do not have a Valid lore reason to have much of it, hence the use of tech 1 weapons/shields only. After fighting my first fight against a ship using ABH, The ISC may start research into it, but it is unlikley i will ever mass produce them.
Edit: in terms of RP: i will continue to act with the Origional designs, after all, it doesnt matter too much if the battle won't actually occur in game
Edit 2: blegh the Paint on the Ildiran looks terrible with the extra parts in the way at the front
