*hugs Asia*
couldnt leave my Eph'tan buddy getting ganged up on like that
Carnage 1 is down.... Carnage 2 is taking over as squadron leader..... (im trying to make it so that assault frigs are reasonbly easy to take down, they are fast assault frigates after all and so sustain heavy losses in conflict.... no super-duper we can take ten turbo lasers to the face ships here
)
oh and heres a better pic of the assault frigates (all my pics are from homeworld 2, awesome game
)
i love describing explosions in this rp

the new schematics for home..... all R-40 frigates where designed to able to fight when needed....
the large hull of the R-100 is designed to be the 'hostile' counterpart to the salvage frigates...
R-100:
shield generators x 4 - the R-100 is not designed directly for front line fighting..... therefore the shield generators are what take up most of the energy production from the ships core...
point defence systems - hundreds of rail weapons track fighters and bombers, creating a deadly fusilade of firepower
torpedo launchers - the main weapon of the R-100.... no less then 100 (from whence it recieves its designation) mass driver torpedo launchers are set into the prow of the ship..... it can take up to an hour to full reload this collosal weapon system, and take a full requirement of engineers to do so safely.....
hyperdrive system - the R-100 is outfitted with a powerfull hyperdrive core, allowing for short 'hops'
The R-100 therefore will generally jump just outside of a combat, before launching its deadly payload of missiles..... all 100 of the torpedos race toward the target, while the R-100 prepres to either jump away... or reload ordnance.... once the main payload is fired, the ship is reasonably defenceless.... and can only fire torpedos as fast as the crew can load them.....
((the whole crew of 'home' must be transfered from the R-40 to the R-100... this can take up to day, with huge amounts of equipment, crew and supplies being needed to be shuttled across....))
