The Golgotha's Power.......

what can it take out in one shot with its meson cannon??
A Ravana??? A Demon??

A Lucifer maybe??

or all of the above?

A Ravana a Demon, any Destroyer class vessel will go down with a single shot. The recharge time for a shot such power is fairly long however.

In a couple of missions the beam is operating at mostly full power and it takes out a destroyer and several other large vessels. The more the beam is used, the more risk is placed on the ship for a catastrophic overload. Its definately not like other beams where they can just keep firing them. Sure you can fire a bunch of times at full power, but you're going to have some serious problems the more you keep doing it.

best Just to act in a more supportive role, with 50% power shots adding significantly to the carnage or using Golgothas in pairs to take down ships.

The ship is designed to take out juggernaught class vessels, but not combat them. Thats the idea.

It can cause catastrophic effects if overcharged, uh????

I think that I'm already guessing one of the missions

Now tell me where I said that

. I did say it was designed by the engineers with more than one in mind.

Probably could be. Not sure if thats going to be in there or not. Depends on how things go.

You want the straight deal? Here it is.

The Meson Cannon can open up a doublewide buttload of kung-fu grip, ass-whuppin' action on the whatever happens to be downrange.

Good enough for you guys?

Posted by Epock on 11-21-2001 09:46 PM:

If the Hull ratings I found a freespace.vw are correct.

SD-Demon Hull 10000
SD-Ravana Hull 12000

Dont quote me on that, its near enough..

SJ-Sathanes Hull 100000

So its 10x the hull.

So am I right the Golgotha overkills Destroyers like 2k damges, and five full power shots to take down a SJ on its own?

Posted by Shrike on 11-21-2001 09:49 PM:

Well, it all depends how you define a buttload of damage.... specifically, kung-fu grip, ass-whuppin' type.

(I'm not telling. My previous post was a joke, ok?)

It's a lot of damage.... and the yield is in fact variable.

Posted by Epock on 11-21-2001 09:57 PM:

Ahh nice variable ehh. Do you have diff sets of tbls then? And load whichever one you chose for a given mission. Or can you chage power IN mission. Now then id be really impressed.

Also does it do this
Key:
Golgotha beam= -
SD-Demon= o

bzzzzzzz
-----------------o

bzzzzzzz
-----------------o

bzz boom

-----------------o------ Hull -25%
bzzzzzzz
----------------------------

Magic.

And I haven't actually tested it in game, I just looked at the table entry.

Posted by IceFire on 11-21-2001 10:20 PM:

I reduced it a bit....but it'll still open a can of whoopass on anything that gets infront of it

Capiche?

Posted by Shrike on 11-21-2001 10:36 PM:

Aww, so it's only a standard buttload of damage?

Metric or Imperial buttload?

Posted by IceFire on 11-22-2001 01:54 AM:

I live in a quasi-metric country (Canadians always taking the middle road), so both

That would be a neat trick indeed, eh?

Posted by IceFire on 11-22-2001 03:08 AM:

Yes yes indeed

Since it can only use its whoopass cannon on things in front of it, how fast can it turn. If it gets ambushed from the side or behind by something BIG will it just jump out or try to fight?

All times are EST. The time now is 11:21 PM.
