NY18 has six guns?

Ships
1

count the number of turrets,i see six, are guards getting six turrets again? or is it just NY18

2

Before the hate wave, you can only fire 4 and you will soon find out its movement mechanics and why it is designed like that.

cool

why would a ship builder place 4 guns on top and only 2 on the bottom sphere of the saucer ship? if only 4 can fire why not 4/4 or 3/3?

Imagine piloting it with just 4 guns on top, massive blindspot under, 2 top 2 bottom results in massive loss of dps, quite some negative sides for an awesome looking design.

yes exactly they would place 4x4 up/down and limit to 4 fireing at same time. question is why 4/2 like in the vid we saw?

There has to be a skill element to it, you can’t just go in the middle of the enemy team and kill everyone, that was last year.

Look the weapons positions, we can deduce 4 weapons firing in front/back, 5 weapons firing in left/right. Probably, the ship fly like a destroyer.

Isn’t this exactly what this ship is build for, jump in to the enemy’s side by switching position with an enemy (hit and run 2.0) ![:dntknw:](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/dntknw.gif “:dntknw:”)

Developers make too many teleportation abilities, these days everyone is jumping to everywhere. I particularly hate this type of science fiction.

so, from looking at Object NY18’s modules it seems to be a more supportive guard (crowd control and tanking as opposed to dps and tanking) this is interesting as we haven’t seen this type of guard since reaper, palom has massive dps, endeavor is meant to give and take damage

 

i’m happy because this is the type of guard frigate that i like

Well, we need see how it is in practice before.

yeah, if the modules stay as they are currently in the store then we will be fine
