[UI] Centurion SHIP

I think instead having that EYESORE of a ship, yall should make it like the flying Saucer that would really get people to wanting it.

 

Maybe not the flying saucer but i agree it certainly needs re-designing as it's the worst looking ship I have seen! Who in the heck designed this centurion it's terrible terrible terrible. Looks like a 2 year old drew it and then one of its parents decided to use it in this game! Until now I thought the citadel was bad but this centurion takes the biscuit.

 

They look great as a log entry and an orange ball

I find it difficult to believe that with all the new exciting graphics tools out there, DO designers got it so wrong with the new ship.

 

cen·tu·ri·on
/senˈt(y)o͝orēən/
noun

1. the commander of a century in the ancient Roman army.

I think the design reflects well, honestly. If anything, it needs to be a little bigger.

 

Sadly it doesn't seem to have had any thought put into it. It reminds me of an old style impact driver.

Personally if I were a game designer, I wouldn't want to have it on my resume.


NB; The only one i have seen ingame in 2D looks vaguely like the drawing on the FAQ. In 3d mode it looks even less like the FAQ drawing. The guy who crafted it used it for 2 days and is now using his Cyborg again, which to my mind doesn't say much for the new ship.
But like everything - Each to his own.

 

Next new ship will look like a lump of coal.... hahaha

 

Thats exactly what they have given us a large lump of Dark coal no matter if you been good or bad lol.

 

Centurion is so bad.. same stats as Cyborg except without the 10% damage and singularity. Out of its total 50 designs only about 10 are worth using--guarantee that less than 10 players maximum per server will dedicate the days worth of grinding to craft those ciphers needed to get those few special designs.

 

How is the Citadel bad, look at that face XD

 

Speaking with a clan member in TS last night. He has used 42 Cyphers received 300K URI and now has 2 of the more reasonable skins for what is without a doubt the ugliest/most gimped ship in the DO lineup.

If you just count the cost of booty keys to craft the Cyphers, each of the "better" skins he received cost him 241K, not to mention the cost in time and ammo for the other items needed for crafting - These skins are pretty bloody expensive.
42 Cyphers = 12 skins - 10 totally ordinary skins, 2 decent ones = terrible value for effort and outlay.

The ONLY thing on the plus side for the new ship is, it could never be considered OP.
In a meta where everything is designed around "kill your opponent faster" - The Centurion completely missed the mark.

 

Correct me if i am worng but the BL maps all the stuff aquried from those maps advantage is in those maps so yes the Lasers takes forever to get also the ship and skins takes time but the advantage in that map is Huge my x-3 prom is now hitting over 200k in diamond formation with sep i am hitting 405k this is with 35 Prometheus the pvp bonus is a dmg burst every 4-5 seconds you guys are looking to do things that the ship/lasers were not design to do these things are only for the BL maps just lie the LEO outside of those maps you lose the advantages

 

all we are stating is the ship is ugly, we didnt say anything about its effect, we just want it to be redesigned...

 

I guess it's time for DO to hold another ship design contest.
I would have thought a new ship to fight BL aliens would be at least as streamlined as the BL aliens they are engaging.
The B52's of U.S armed forces were nicknamed The B.U.F.F. Big Ugly Fat F..... (You can figure out the rest)
And that's what they should have named the Centurion.
Had I been designing the new ship it they would have been based on an Ultraviolet concept to counteract the BL threat. Or even White Light ships .(a little too corny though).
Now is the time to reverse engineer captured BL ships and turn them into a viable fighting machine to be reckoned with.

 

The designs for the ship needs a revamp... They all feel like a debuff at one point. For some of them, they give a bonus on speed, but removes a laser slot. others have like a massive shield bonus, but has -3 laser slot. WHat the heck?
Also, don't get me started on the ability designs... the debuffs just don't want to make you use the ship at all...
