Specific Demolition ships for Defense mode

(1/3) > >>

Daft Loon:
Severely nerf the damage of AI ships and planes vs the base and gun emplacements in defense mode and make them more biased towards attacking player ships.

Designate a minority of the attackers as demolition ships that do regular/increased damage to the guns and the base, these ships exclusively target the gun towers (in their originating lane) and then the base. They should be marked in some way to distinguish them, probably a different map icon, a name designation like the convoy ships get and something directly visible.

Thoughts?

Naoura:
Fire ships. Just make fire ships.

A fire ship, for those that don't know, is a ship that is, well, abandoned and set to the torch, often packed with explosives, and sent towards the enemy. In effect, suiciders.

Just have those. The rest of the ships are there to support the fire ships, so that they can do damage to the base. Make a lot of them, so that you can't simply cheese the fight, but make them the only thing capable of destroying the base.

Either that or increase the number of defenses you have surrounding the base. Perhaps the armored walls, or else increasing the number of gun emplacements.

Richard LeMoon:
Yes, please. Make these 'bomb ships'. Then we can add them to Skirmish in the new PAYLOAD mode.

GurasOguras:
The defense is very easy for me until the boss ship arrives. At which point if he manages to kill me 1 time the base is his next target.

That would be one good way to do it. I've had the thought that they could be implemented relatively easily by creating a "gun" with the appearance of an explosive payload, 0 turning arcs and 0 range. That way each of the AI close range ships can be turned into a fire ship by replacing its actual guns with 3 visible bombs on the front.

I find it like that sometimes, particularly when playing solo, but in the 4 ship matches especially it often ends up like a tower defense game with 10 ships at a time just beelining the base faster than they can be killed.
