[SHIP] Klingon Bird-of-Prey (updated 20-02-13)
Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2013 6:52 pm
Hello, this is my first MOD for FTL.
It's a Klingon K'vort-class Bird-of-Prey (replacing Mantis cruiser B) named PIvlob Do (klingonese for Warp Factor Speed ).
VERSION 1.0
I tried to make it a believable Klingon ship:
2 Heavy Laser I - cheap but powerful starting weapons
Stealth - basic equipment of any Klingon ship
3-square Teleporter room- for nasty boarding tactics
1-square Medbay - only puny romulans need medics
No Doors Control and No Sensors - wasted power
1 Slot for Drones - Dochvam nuq?
I tried the ship and it's almost balanced (great attack but weak defense), I'm obviously open to suggestions.
Next versions might also include custom weapons.
VERSION 1.1
Added 2 custom weapons (with the original sound effects):
2 Klingon Disruptors - 1 dmg but good chance of fire and breach
1 Klingon Torpedo Launcher - missiles with high crew damage and fire chance
They can both appear by chance in shops.
The ship is now somewhat stronger but still lacks enough power for everything, you'll have to learn to juggle with systems.
Plans for future updates:
Klingon related events
A Vor'cha-class ship
Start looking for Romulan and Cardassian ship blueprints
VERSION 2.0
After a little busy time I got my hand again on this to present you a new ship!
The Vor'cha-Class Klingon Battle Cruiser "IKS QeylIS BetleH" (klingonese: The Sword of Kahless).
This one's a little tougher than the Bird-of-Prey, the Vor'cha Battle Cruiser is meant to annihilate the enemy, no prisoners allowed!
The ship's specifics:
2 Klingon Torpedo Launchers
1 Klingon Disruptor Beam - with original sound effects (it substitutes the Artillery system, shame you can't change the beam color )
Rock Plating Augmentation - as I said, tougher!
Stealth - like any honorable Klingon ship
2-squares medbay
The ship rooms are straight and narrow, because only puny humans need lots of space to win battles.
As a bonus, the Bird-of-Prey got a 2-squares medbay too, it was too much frustrating!
