Colonial Showcase | Alniyin
Added 2021-08-02 12:28:40 +0000 UTCI apologize for the lack of updates, as mentioned before, work has been picking up, limiting the time and energy I have for working on this.
Today I've got a fairly unusual entry to show off, a dedicated command ship!
40DP for what looks like a fast, if somewhat under gunned cruiser might sound steep, but this thing comes loaded with fleet support functionality.
Aside from having Ops Center and Hi Res Sensors built in, the Alniyin's ship system buffs all nearby allies across the board for the next 20 seconds.
The current list of buffs is fairly catch-all and subject to change, but right now it does the following:
+ 25 / 15 / 5 speed for frigates / destroyers / cruisers respectively, with commensurate buffs to maneuverability.
+ 10% weapon range.
+ 50% autofire accuracy.
+ 10% damage.
-10% damage taken by hull, armor, and shields.
The buffs aren't huge, but everything runs a bit smoother with the Alniyin around.
The ship itself isn't defenseless in direct combat either. It's definitely not pulling its weight for costing 40DP, and I wouldn't let it go near any capital ships, but a combination of solid defenses and high mobility let it terrorize destroyers and small cruisers with ease!
