I would very much want it to be a fight for my life rather than just a minor nuissance once the fighters and drones are taken care of.

I would very much like to crap my pants everytime I have to face a capital ship in a smaller craft. In my last game, one small fighter just destroyed my engines. It is very hard to kill a small fighter with any capital ship. I hope for an intermediary class between Destroyer and Carriers: Cruisers. I think it's more because capital ships are smaller (destroyers are small). I hate to see 100 very slow plasma bullets never hitting anything. I don't understand why they changed that. So i'm fin with it, even if i prefer X2 designs.Ĭapital ship weaponnery. Teladi capital ships are Rebirth improvement. The Behemoth is pretty nice, but the Colossus is Ugly.

Why did they put that keel? It feels soo fat this way and too similar with the Zeus.Īrgon capital ships. they are beautyfull and heavy detailled and we don't have them in X4. But they are not the best design IMO.Īrawn, Taranis, Sucellus. Why didn't they add some retrofited Rebirth ships into X4? I mean, yes, the Teladis ships are here. I must say, i'd rather have Rebirth capital ships. You could also do it the way Freespace did it, that small weapons can only bring a capital ships hull down to 50-75%), so you'd need specialized missiles/torpedos to kill them. You have a really nice framework and core game here, but it need a bit more polish.ĮDIT: Another idea is to make capital ships immune to regular fighter weapons (but not the subsystems, so you can damage, but not destroy.

So my suggestion to EgoSoft is simple - more ship with new weapons just for them. You'd think you'd have a larger class of weapons for capital ships - big guns to use against other big ships. Dissapointingly small number of turrets and even worse - the turrets are the same as the ones on freighters. (And I personally dislike what you did to the Teladi ships).ģ) The weapons. There's little to give me a sense of scale and easily identify it as a capital ship. What happened to other ships sizes/classes? Missile cruisers? Frigates?Ģ) Their design is mostly such that you can't even tell them apart from up-scaled fighters. Just 1 destroyer and 1 carrier with nothing else.
