plasma pod

[tec_server]

plasma pod (class 3 ship)

if this fungu-plasma pod gets hit it will explode and jam all class 3 ships on both sides


attack/life: 0/100
manpower: 130

researchtime: 1 d
buildingtime: 12 h


mycilloid-technology
needed research:
science recycle methods

battle details:

1. fights
(battle engine syntax: f)
2. if this ship is hit it jams 1000 ships in both fleets in the class it fights with and you get back the initiative
battlemessage: "plasma pod explodes jams ... ships"
(battle engine syntax: trigger_hit@jam,both,1000,this,plasma pod explodes)

I thought jamming belonged to the kazuuula race

But I like the idea

ahh.. this is my invention and it's absolutely clear that mycilloids cannot build a controlled jamming vehicle, but this is a big pod full of fungu-plasma and if it explodes it will jam all ships, believe me! it's the only way for mycilloids to jam something (not so elegant like the kazuuula ships, i must admit)!!!

Why does this ship fight? It doesn't have any ap.

[Jason]

it's just a big thingy with stuff in it ... it cannot fight

[JaM]

[BladeTech]

so it explodes when it gets hit or when it is destroyed?

[JaM]

I think both. If it is destroyes it must be hit first.

[BladeTech]

well but if its like a battle between enemies class 2 and their class 3, it'll be hit but not destroyed

[Durago]

every ship has a fight syntax, it is just how it works, or the ship would never do anything.
however it's "fight" is to do what you have set it up to do.

and from the syntax, yes it has to get hit to work,

but say a hammer or something like that goes off, the pod will go active and that might make for some interesting results, or just a wasted pod.

this ship looks kinda cool.

about this ship, it is in no way the same.

this ship simply jams and makes your fleet have the fight again, the semb totally stops the c3 fight and blows up.

I think this ship is a bit overpowered. I will explain why.

Basically what this ship does is it ends a class battle. So it can be compared to a retreat fighter or an evasor. Except that it doesn't blow up (well actually it says in the battle syntax that it does, but i would expect something that blows up to also stop existing). So against lower classes this ship jams everything (read stops class battle) and stays to fight the upper classes. So 1 plasma pod can survive a whole fleet. It would be very annoying on a score planet.

I say it needs a selfdestruct command in the syntax to be balanced. Which makes it a mycilloid c3 evasor. which is ok since this ship cant be researched anyway.
