[UI] Laser slot suggestion for Spearhead,Aegis and Citadel

As so you know, the aegis is a good ship for farming npcs, healing an ally in battle and supporting them, the citadel is the Shield for those who are in an outfit, protecting allies by using his abilities, fortifying his hull with thick protective plates, and taking in the aggression of hostile enemies that is shooting his allies, the spearhead is a fast agile ship that scouts an entire area with just 1 press of its ability, having that hawk eye can really help in battle to know where the enemies are without them knowing you are following them, the ability to cloak without even showing on the minimap and being targeted by enemies, a deadly mark placed on your enemy's head to deal more damage to them and the dreaded JAMX that nullifies the abilities of any other ship using theirs in combat.

enough with the introduction!

i suggest to give these ships a laser slot increase on lasers:

Aegis : 12 laser slots
Citadel : 10 laser slots
Spearhead : 8 laser slots

most people would really prefer fighting while hopping on to their surgeons and other goliath with special design ships, and rather they are only used on specific occasions such as the spearhead for bonus box collecting, citadel for resource transfer and cargo collecting purposes, the aegis for cubing and npc farming purposes.

Yes the citadel is mostly famous of its large cargo hull and its massive HP, some Ultra elites use them in pvp, going on for a suicide config using moth and being HP double boosted, total of 40% more hp and adding 260k more hp to their hull total of 860k hp, even without shields it will still withstand any goliath or pusat heavy fire.

The aegis are used also in pvp but rather for teamplay, they are the backbone of any outfits because of their repairing abilities and shield restoration, when cooldown double boosted, they are a beast.

The Spearhead is only commonly used in recons and bonus box collecting or in spaceball (heh, using ultimate cloak and stealing space ball cargo boxes is fun)

 

Yes!!!

 

The Aegis and Citadel need no buffs, the Spearhead is also a recon ship, as such, it needs no buff either.

 

Two of them need buffs or improvements.

The Citidel needs either 5 more lasers or to be naturally capable of x2 faster loading seed for it's HST Launchers and a much higher movement rate WITHOUT a cool down.

The Spearhead needs EITHER 5 to 10 more lasers OR 100% accuracy OR 100% damage OR x2 range of it's weapons OR the Target Marker should remain active till the target is destroyed OR the UC should be available when under fire.
Considering the low HP of the Spearhead 15 lasers should have been considered the way it was for the Pusat.

Also if hiding behind the notion of the Spearhead being a recon ship is all u got then consider the notion that recon soldiers are usually equipped with the weapons needed to eliminate any would be witnesses instantly.

As for the Aegis, yea that ship is just fine as it is BUT 12 guns would be nice.

 

no the don't aegis is strong as it is it already gives ufe golis a run for there money with its ability's its deadly the spear is a boxing ship lets be real,the citadel is a tank slow ship not meant for hunting its fine the way it is so no to both. If u want a ship to be improved with more laser slot I say vegy its under rated sure but it does its duty if it had 2 more or 5 more lasers like a goli the goli players would use the vegy too they don't use it much bc of the lack of slots which I get. would be more interesting a vegy vs vegy instead of golis on golis which is like what 95% of players I run a vegy and I love it its a great ship it packs a punch.

 

No.

These ships were included for their intended purposes, and not as an one for all.
The Aegis, Citadel & Spearhead are support class ships, to heal, tank/protect & recon, respectively.

The Aegis definitely does not need any buff. A single UFE Aegis is considered the strongest, as a skilled player can use it to it's full potential and wipe out more enemies than a UFE Goliath can in its current state.

The Citadel is meant to hit low, to give in return a high integrity rate, and to support outfit members in battle. If it hits any harder, it can change quite a bit.

Then the Spearhead. It is a recon ship, yet also the perfect troll ship for UFEs. No buffs needed.

If you want to be a stronger player, stick with the Aegis or Goliath and learn how to properly use them, by learning on your own, watching YouTube videos of other players, or advice from others.

 

No, although I wanted some buffs for Citadel too. But now I can wait for the new ships Mimesis (= damage Spearhead) and Tartarus (=damage Citadel).

 

The Citadel could use a buff to it's hst launchers. From what I've been hearing (don't own one atm), both launchers have to be loaded in order to be fired, but the loading times for each is the same as on any other ship.

 

I own all 3 ships, the cit needs the upgrades I listed earlier as well as the spearhead since not everyone is a UFE troll, till that day comes to pass that point is moot and should include every ship any UFE player uses in that case.

This post is to upgrade the usefulness of these ship beyond the needy state they currently represent now not to keep them there, also this post isn't regarding the new ships so that "no" was a waste of space here.

 

The ships are supposed to stay in their roles as intended. Darkorbit is not going to waste their time to change that unless 90% of the players want it changed.

 

I call bull spit on that, this forum was placed here for "roles" to be changed if necessary for the ones that want it.
When was the last time u saw 90% of the game here in forum?
I call bull spit on that notion too.

 

-The idea has to be popular enough to be placed into the game
-They are role ships, and if you buff them, their roles will pretty much be gone, and it'll turn into another Vengy or Goliath, and not a lot of people want that. With that buff, you'd get a ship that's cheaper than it's supposed to be. They'll have to hike the price up.

 

So hike the price, do what's needed to improve them.
Make these alterations into designs if that will ease the transitions.

A price hike is not a deterrent for those willing to pay for better versions of those ships.
I'm willing to wager that the ones that want them to remain the same don't even own them.

 

At least make cit hellstorm launchers reload 2x faster. Or would that make it too OP? double the damage for the same amount of time.

 

To be honest ,citadel really doesnt needs more buff , i was just trying that ship out and on doubles with UFE equipment , man this ship can do insane things ! I feel a lot better on citadel than on surgeon , and surgeon is great ship.

 

Yea I bet all ships as UFE are just fine as they are.

 

Whatever, I still say no.

As long as UFEs who kills weaker players exist, that's a big no.

 

well i am with you in adding laser in citidel because when you be on group you want to take bienfits from it's hug shields but this ship doesnt have much lasers so when you're killing aliens or cubi they wont hit you they will hit the other guy with you in the group because he has more damage than you so it will be really good if there were more laser slots in the citidel
but in spearhead and aegis no , they must stay as they are

 

Pfffft, they all need improvement despite opposition to the notion and instead of keeping better ships from the UFE I suggest leaving the forum and the game since everything in game can be used by UFE players and that will never change.

Do the game and forum a favor and spare everyone else from your frailties.

 

x2 damage from hellstorms is a bit excessive. you could literally have full shields on the drones and still have at least 20k from the rockets alone. 50k with hellstorms and thats be insane with ubers.

really its just that the aegis/citadel/spearhead are specifically designed to be group ships. an ufe outfit with 2 aegis 1 citadel 1 spearhead and 2 golis is pretty much invincible especially if the aegis both have cooldown boosters.
