more M2+? (AP)

Post by ConCorDian » Fri, 10. Feb 12, 23:16

i was just wondering... since the introduction of the Megalodon, Kyoto and I has happened will we perhaps see additional M2+'s added for the Argon, Teladi, Split and Paranid? and if you really want to be nice perhaps even an M2++ for the Yaki? :pirat:

The Megolodon description mentions a split Heavy Destroyer. I wonder
what it would be like?

Replaced original post. I had said Paranid by mistake :oops:

I would love this, M2 is my favorite class of ship to own/fly/fight in. A new paranid or split M2 would be wicked.

If there's a Split M2+, it needs a spinal mount.

I highly speculate that any future split M2+ will simply be several guns welded together with a giant thruster and no shields.

Similar to how a Teladi one would be like owning a Large OWP?

A Python that can finally mount FLAK cannons? :) This is one of multiple inconsistencies in the game (or may be just a hint of Boron Paranoia - creating the only megadestroyer in the game based on rumors of a ship that doesn't exist).

The Xenon I wasn't just hinted at, it's actually in the game. It's available for purchase at all good Xenon Shipyards. Good luck buying one though...

Just saying it forward: I give everyone 2 posts to make good, in context posts(proper english, as always, is optional). After that I'm ignoring what you have to say in that thread that's directed to what we previously were talking about.

CBJ wrote:[2.0] A new and unusually large Xenon capital ship has been sighted but there are no coherent reports (or survivors) at this time. And the Yaki Navy has a surprise or two in store for uninvited visitors, which we wouldn't dare spoil!
the first part has got to be refering to the Xenon I, either that or they gonna Jump the I and bring in something even heavier (which is a scary thought)

second part could in theory be a Yaki M2+ although i suspect it may be more the 2xM7 and M7M they have on file.

ill be honest i havnt played any of the mods as yet, but from my understanding majority of the new ships added are from one of the mods, and i must admit they look pretty impressive. so i searched for more and i like a lot of what i see, i just wonder if they wll include more in the game to give us more variance.

I thought it was the I, but it could be plot only ship like the Deca, only
bigger and even meaner. Mind you I can't inagine what that would be.
Of course it wouldn't be an M2 then.

We never did find out what happened to the sentient ship cefa - aside
from all those potential slavers who tried to board and muzzle the poor thing.
You guys know who you are. :P

The "No coherent reports" part sounds ominous though.

I would say an Argon M2+ would be awesome, but since almost all their ships are mediocre to poor, it'd just be another let down. Unless OTAS handles production. :twisted:

What is the lore explanation behind Argon's substandard ship design anyway?

Reduced genepool after getting cut off from Earth?

ALso, i think it is more "mediocre" or "average" instead of "substandard".
