I think that's what the Brits are for. Modern carriers, which CSCs look like they're based on, typically only field point defenses and occasionally missiles. Perhaps a system where a squadron of Britannias is deployed when the target has internal HP? That seems balanced to me.Wolfy wrote:Re: Aquilas -
I'd go as far as just giving each CSC an aquila, or, you know, giving them something with WMD and a T3 damage type. (I've never seen any use the launcher aside from Terra and Antarctica)
It's more a last resort than anything else. My TF CSC defense plan consists of the following:Waiting until 75% damage is too long.
All times:
4x Tev9
7 orbiting Centurions
0 - 2 Aquilae
In combat:
7 Centurions spawn every minute to attack the current target, returning upon its destruction.
In combat with a capital ship:
Deploy 5 Britannias against the current target.
90% health:
7 Aggressive Centurions attack nearby hostiles, returning once the area is clear.
50% health:
5 Britannias attack the current target and return upon its destruction.
25% health:
Aquila sent to reinforce the CSC, departing after 10 minutes.
It's unlikely the player would return to earlier systems for extended periods post - Antarctica, so it's mostly intended as atmospheric, and to show how crippling it is for the Fleet to lose an entire squadron of Aquilae.I would also not disable the aquilas after the antarctica mission. Perhaps deleting extras (in the event a CSC had more than 1 to start).
