I just added an event for the whole day, but feel free to set your own times for testing certain elements, or organizing a melee, or whatever, throughout the day.
I'll look at setting up a custom map, but it may not happen. [ This Message was edited by: Mithrandir on 2011-05-17 06:32 ]

Nice.
Now we'll get to see how the new layouts work in fleet engagements.

On Monday we did a test of combat.
General Zod with a "Krill" and I with a "EAD"
It was a disaster.
Without using enhancements.
He destroy mi ship in a couple of shots.
He not need using his cloacking device for nothing.
In a few shots "EAD" lose all the energy.
I just hope they do not make changes in the stations, the new version of EAD sucks.
I waiting the sunday to test combat in group, because, individual is not good.

Curious, are you using energy management, running at full speed, smashing the spacebar or using selective fire weapons?
This will help us determine the long term combat viability of the EAD vs a full speed quick alpha firing which will drain power faster than you can replenish...

In the test. (only 1 test, because server restart and Zod not return).
Velocity : medium or a bit more.
Space bar : full press. Not use selective fire weapons.
Both : in movement.
My "EAD" is more slow than "Krill".
I lost the front defense.
I can not rotate fast enough.
My end hehe.
Obviously need more test and I must admit that I am not an expert in the use of EAD, I always use "BS". But Sunday i will be to continue working and learning.

There is nothing wrong I guess.
I and Zog had the same test, me in Krill with 8 AWA, and Zog with Reflective. I was in his torpedo range, meaning 8 SI vs 4 QST & 8 HPSI vs 12 torps. He won without turning, I was the only one turned.
I guess you losed to him because weapon angle: krill is stronger than EAD at side - 4 SI vs 1 QST & 4 HPSI vs 4 torp.
Maybe you lost because you had albative or standard.

They increased the energy consumption of all core weaps. You have 4 QSTs and a crapload of beams. You also have 2 aux gens, which is one down from the original OP 3.
The Krill has 8 SIs and lesser beams.
You're an assault ship. He's a med ranged fire support ship.
You're supposed to use more energy, just like a Siphon does.
You've simply been running too fast and firing far too often.

It wasn't a question of broadside power or armor (both were stock ships). I'm not giving away my secrets
In a purely head to head test the EAD wins. But that doesn't accurately reflect actual combat. Even 1v1 doesn't really reflect combat.
Head on tests like I had with chloro are good to show the potential damage a ship can do. Tests like I had with P2 are good to show...well, I'm not giving away my secrets.
My krill also had major energy issues. [ This Message was edited by: General Zod on 2011-05-21 15:08 ]

BTW dont forget that kluth do not atack one on one because of armour issues, we allways atack in groups if u see one of us theres is more hidding in the dark. But 1 vs 1 will tell us alot about the new design which i,m looking forward to seeing in mv.

That's part of it, yes. But we were also flying at a good speed, not standing still firing at each other while rotating.
