Class 8 Thrusters for Type 10?

[Northpin]

Ok, so to recap, we love the t10 but it needs better thrusters, armour and distributor.

It might even be a viable AX machine after all that... although the convergence could do with some work....

Nah, thrusters are fine IMO, the distributor is an assumed liability

Armor rating could be improved a bit
And an extra size 7 optional internal will do a lot to increase the general usability of T-10 in many areas (heavily armored/armed trader, a way better miner, even a better combat ship with size 8 shields and 2x size 7 scb)

As it is now, i pretty much prefer to use a Conda instead of the Type-10 for any role
But if the T10 would eventually get another size 7 internal, i could see myself switching from the Conda to a T-10 for certain builds

the T10 needs something, bit of speed... and allow it to have 6 experimental weapons. give it an extra something after all it was designed as a thargoid combat ship.

i have tried it, it just a missile sponge, it cannot get away from anything

I try to stress this every chance I get.
The limit of 4 weapons has nothing to do with the Thargoids, as there are acid rockets they are also limited to 4 pieces and have no effect on the Thargoids.

 

[ebbrell]

oh right i didnt know the limit was on those items as well.

Ah the T10
Its not a combat ship
Its not a trade ship
Engineer those thrusters and its pretty nippy.

In fact its the best multi role Mining ship in the game
Loads of hard points to pack every mining module available, huge power distributor, 256 cargo rack in one slot and the view!!

O7

Very true. That is exactly what I use it for. With engineered thrusters it is also fast enough to keep up with a spinning asteroid, so I can keep shooting sub-surface missiles at the same deposit.

Originally billed as an AX ship, it needs speed to fill that role.

Not the speed is the issue... the worse weapon convergence from all the ships out there is the problem

Yeah, go try AX combat, it's not the speed that's the problem. Indeed, most large ships prefer to tank their fire rather than dodge it(at least, not entirely like smaller ships).

Honestly, if we wanted it to have some nod to its original AX purposes, I'd prefer it to be in some sort of inherent resistance to thargoid weaponry. Maybe setting the AP of thargoids to 70, so they do full damage to every other large ship, but do about 7% less to T10's. That would be nice and not overpowered.

It would even make sense given the the T9 got an extra C8 optional. Use the same technology used to make that improvement to improve the T10!

This is a fact. The convergence is tragically bad. It's like it was built for AFK turret farming or something.

Scouts are also Targoids and then, it's just as possible to kill a Cyclops in 15 seconds on a normal heavy ship.

I had a suggestion long ago to make Guardian engines, they would give a lot more acceleration of the ship with the loss of its maneuverability for the time of acceleration, ie in a straight line.
This proposal as usual lies on the shelf.

 

[DemiserofD]

The T10 would be infinitely better if we could adjust our weapon convergence. This is technology that has existed since WW1, you can't tell me it's impossible 1000 years in the future.

If you could just focus all your guns 1400m away, you could use the T10 for AX combat just fine.

What does mixing have to do with it? We have turret machine guns that can track the Thargoids, but all other weapons can not do so.
Even the swarm can not track

I'm sorry, are you translating into a different language than english? Because I said nothing about mixing.
