Developer blog from July 3rd: Summer plans

Wait a minute!

Can someone explain this to me?

I thought that dreadnoughts are supposed to be the ultimate flagships.

 

Destroyer = Dreadnought

Dreadnought < Destroyer

Defiler < Dreadnought

 

What is better than Destroyer?

What is the ultimate weapon?

 

Mothership?

Destroyer < Mothership

Nobody ever said that the Destroyer would be stronger than the dreadnought, i actually think they might be equal.

But there is still another secret.

What is that Sphere in Leviathan?

May that be the Alien’s…

… Jericho will be getting their Guard

Hmmm? This mean I can save for my massively broken guard now?

Speculation: So if they follow the same pattern as the last release…

Derp, if you have only just begun to save up for a secret project ship, I have some bad news for you…

Been going for a month now since the secret ship race begun. The extra 3 monocrystals a day are pretty handy.

I believe that’s the Mothership. I’m working on a PvE suggestion of 4 corporate dreadnoughts versus that abomination.

Shoot! Nuke! They’re on to us!!!

 

They’ve discovered our Space Station!

 

Quick, back up the harddrives to our secret facility, then destroy all the evidence!

The fact that they called it a scout makes it more likely a recon I suppose. That little split reminded me of inquisitor. But the 2 prong design does seem common with interceptor.

Acknowledged. Relocating all primary fleets to Smuggler’s Hideout. Await further instructions.

Nice and promising content, the faster it will get, the better (if its well polished). Seems like research map is some sort of “in planet” map, wich would be really awesome…all maps are in space, it would be great to have one with planetary surface.

According to standart ship classification, destroyer would be the smallest capital ship (a battlecruiser would be in a higher place), the mothership the biggest ship, but not as meant for war as a dreadnought; as you said, dreadnoughts are the ultimate battleships, that means they beat a mothership.

 

DREADNOUGHT VERSUS DESTROYER??? pls

I was thinking just the same, this feature would rock!

Someone played the Homeworld games! Haha.

 

 

ALSO is no one going to comment on how one of the maps looks like it’s going down to the planet’s surface?? PLANETARY INVASION??

And the design is almost a bit too streamlined for Empire. And speed is the trademark of the Federation, so those big engines…

Well, the streamlining in federation seems to have defected; compare t5 feds with bulky fighters and interspaceforks to the design of t5 gunships in empire, I’d say, they went from design to pure functionality in a decade or so.

The Dreadnought was a ship of it’s time and strictly speaking a battleship, basicly influenced the later development of battlecruisers, but ate up huge resources for its time, and made a large public impression and influenced all later built ships;

their kind of design was however short lived and only battled once, so the name is rather to be taken as kind of a “menacing” “huge” ship, but strictly speaking any battlecruiser could swoop away a dreadnought :smiley:

There is no international classification agreement on naval ships tho. Science fiction just mixes all up into one (eve uses dreads as siege class e.g.)

And what if this “destroyer” is giant, alien neuron zealot armed with pink destructors and never ending pulsar? Say bye to ur dreads…

And what do you suppose those things are? Maybe it’s just me, but those things appear to be detaching from a planet.

Notice in the bottom left hand corner, that the pilot has locked on to the object? And that the object is producing some sort of wavelength, suggesting it has a power source.

And why does this one look like it’s an aft section of one of these giant ‘things’ powering up?

Oh look. A mechanical planet…

 

Coincidence?

 

EDIT: Oh, and did I mention I wasted a lot of time searching Google images, and found a concept picture of one of these ‘alien death stars’ opening up alone the equator and spilling out a bunch of drones? Can’t find it now, sadly.

 

 

Although, the two flaps on the rear engine housing are very similar to the flaps found on the Federation ‘Lion’ chassis.

Those flaps more resemble the same looking flaps that are on the T5 Empire Interceptor, Fighter, and Frigate models.  I say Empire Recon for sure.  

 

No way a Jericho Ship has an actual Cockpit.

 

This looks really awesome anyway, I’m super excited for those planet side maps.  Imagine ducking in and out of giant cavities in Skyscrapers, and flying through pillars and spires.  You’ve got my attention!!!

my sources: homeworld 2, eve online and the in development game: Dreadnoughts (in  that game dreadnoughts are bigger, slower and stronger than destroyers).

Planetary invasion? you mean taking out tanks, planetary defenses, destroying/capturing facilities, supporting ground units? That would be awesome!!

Nice comment, it was needed some “expert” into this theme :stuck_out_tongue:

hahaha. Shoot dreads, take out all including small ships.

What if federation was building a deathstar all this time, and it got taken over by aliens?

(Since armada vouchers do have the deathstar for the logo)

JASAN QUINN! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW AND EXPLAIN THIS!

You’ll have to wait until the content goes live. That, or convince the Devs to take me on as an official writer. :004j:

I only know that this giant Sphere is a known super-weapon. It can make a Sun go Supernova or and it can destroy an entire planet in seconds!

Do not provoke the Biomorphs!
