The Spartan class Battleship is the workhorse of the Heavy Division.

Automated systems stats:

Name update and minor tweaks- the efreet is now the Zeus, and the NPC version now as fast on impulse as Lancer at 180% impulse. The PC version is half that (designed to run at 200% impulse) but has the same inefficent warp engines that make it a power drain to get anywhere fast. But the option IS there.

Correction- Lancer at 300% manual can approach the beam power of the efreet at 265%, but maxes out at 16 DPS, not quite reaching 17.5 DPS

Most recent versions of the PC Efreet Dreadnaut and the NPC Efreet equivilant, with commented in explanations of the equivilance (power settings, ect):

After initial testing, well, it’s no Command ship, but it’s probably Goliath level as an NPC ship. it’s biggest problem is in recognizing nearby enemy ships. Also not sure how to get it to launch fighters- I tried adding the Carrier tag, and the game crashes anytime it would spawn it as an NPC ship.

Did some tweaks to beam arcs, tried adding…[Read more]

Version with impulse and maneuver nodes added:

Mind looking over the “TSN Command ship” I’m working on? http://www.terranstellarnavy.net/forums/topic/tsn-heavy-division-drafts/#post-33078

Is this intended as a player ship or an AI ship? Or both?

Both, but it’ss not a Light Division ship, so sims only barring…

This was a straight copy/paste from a functional vesseldata file. I suspect WordPress sanitizes their inputs, mangling any code posted.

It is the approved version, though if we’re including the NPC stats enable, the primary beam’s damage should be about the same as the playerdamage. (the disrupter has a token damage in order to trigger node…[Read more]

Yooie is working on an updated version, double checking that the nodes actually work. He expects completion by wenesday.

Originally, all the ships were variations of the Artemis class. Over time, they have been tweaked based on feedback. The Sabre’s beams for example, were reduced because someone said they were too powerful (not sure who, but I do recall it being mentioned).
