ImWithDerp 112 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Capital ship fights could be really fun if they were implemented as giant mobile enemies with distinct weak points and deadly weapons (as opposed to how Grineer galleons are currently implemented as static indestructible terrain) and several ways to destroy them (like how crewships can be weakened with conventional fire then finished off with artillery, or we can board them). Furthermore, I feel enemies the size of a capital ship would benefit greatly from being built with a degree of procedural generation. The bigger an enemy is, the more effect its physical structure has on how it must be fought, so good structural variety would help give capital ship missions plenty of replayability! I'm hoping that some of the technology used to generate levels can be used to generate capital ships in a similar way, substituting connected rooms for connected ship segments.

o0Despair0o 7,448 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 As much as I want capital ship battles, I think we both know that this would just become missile platform 2.0; people parking the ship right in front of it and then wondering why their ship blew up. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

You cannot plan for morons. Semi-random enemy capital ships would be an interesting addition to Railjack. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Kaotyke 34,083 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 You could have them fly on a rail (HA!) around the map. But more weapons on them aside from "Missiel Launch Detected" would be great... also greater range, those things have what? 1Km range? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
