The Type 10 needs a nerf already !

Looking at the screen shot again ....

It's never going to make it out through the slot. The vertical thrusters are too weak for the ship. Come on FD, this ship needs a nerf already ;)

Or is that Commander Thrust in control? He doesn't need the slot, he just boosts through the wall [big grin]

Do you mean it needs a "a buff" - because it needs better vertical thrusters?
Or actually a "nerf" - because you want the size chopped down so that the vertical thrusters can cope?

I do agree, however, it looks like a Type 9 that has been "Cutter"-ised. That is - all forward thrust, still steers like a cow. But that still might be fun!

I am not a fan of any nerfing. Buff everything. It's only a game, and it was already silly to start with...

Let's wait to buff or nerf it, until we've had a chance to fly it. I for one, am looking forward to when it's available in-game.

I'm a patient person. I'm sure it will arrive, eventually. It's possible I'll hate it, but I'm fairly fond of the Type-9, so there's a good chance I'll like the Type-10 too.

I really like the look of the T9. It has very pleasing angles and holistic aesthetics. This T10 interloper seems a bit too Volvo-esque. Very boxy & bricked together. No swooped burly shoulders leading out to well integrated engine intakes and wings. Instead it's an elongated brick with Lego-brick intakes breaking the smooth line where its shoulders used to be and extensions of the same leading out to incongruous angular wing tips.

Still if it has the same cockpit and can fight a bit, then it'll be an interesting mothership. Just not yet convinced how a lumbering behemoth is supposed to counter an agile Thargoid Cyclops.

Maybe if they give it enough firepower it can just blast it's way out of the slot.

I've been thinking about this. My fear is that it will have lots of class 2 slots and have the 4 AX weapon restriction limit removed. I hope I'm wrong!!

This was my exact suspicion as well, but how do you use fixed weapons vs enemies modules on a T9-like ship? And if it's supposed to use turreted weapons, then how will a ship as slow as the T9 ever get close enough to reliably hit the hearts without running out of ammo. It would need 8 class for 4 module slots! Or it would just run out of ammo.

The other possibility is that it will have some corrosion resistance and a hull resistance to the Thargon kamikaze missiles. Then at least it could be used in combo with other T10s in a wing. Or maybe in a multicrew (can you subtarget hearts in multicrew turret mode?) where turret wobble-aim wouldn't be as big of an issue.

Why not ^^
Its a Lakon Ship.
So its not about winning a Beuty Contest or anything.

Lakon Builds Ships that get the Job Done *gg*


So well. If this thing is called a Defender than thats what its made for.
An Wall you stuck in Front of what you want Protected and its going to Block the Enemy Off with all its Might xD


I am more Interested in how the Ship will Rank among the ones we got.
I wonder if its basicly a Keeback made from a T9 instead of a T6 :)

It will be Interesting to See just what Hardpoints and Internal Compartments its going to Receive.
If its Flies like an T9 but gets lots of Large Hardpoints instead of the usual Huge Hardpoint. That might be the First Ship in the Game which could be a Valid Turret Only Built against Bigger Ships like Condas or Cutters.

I mean, maybe? If there are plans for more in-depth Thargoid station attack scenarios, the T10 could be suited especially for defending stations and repelling Thargoid attacks, rather than going out and hunting them outright.

That is my hope except that I am real fond of the T9.
We'll see if the T10 gives me a reason to switch...and it's not rank-locked.

I thought the first picture I saw of the T-10 was photoshopped. Then I saw the FD teaser. Nope. That is what it really looks like.

You are right ! I should have said, "buff" shouldn't I ? If I could award myself negative rep this is the place to do it :rolleyes:

Or, as you say, nerf it anyway for "balance" lol
