Does the Jupiter class have a large or heavy weapon that earns it the classification of Dreadnought? It just looks a lot like a carrier to me.

Sorry guys, the fetid pit that I have the pleasure of calling my job has no internet, so it has been difficult for me to keep up on the thread.

As far as I know the NPC Jupiter has no super weapons, however the NPC ship has more hull than any other ship in the game (as far as I know). I don't believe that a dreadnought need a super weapon, it only need to be big, tough and have a lot of weapons. The proposed build earlier in this thread reflects that idea.

This is not a conformation of the Jupiter's future entry into the game.

Hate to burst the bubble, but one can always dream, I guess.
I never said it was a confirmation, I said that we had been told it may be coming out in late 2011.

My Eyes !!!!!

No, i don't think that just replacing some nacelles makes that ship look better.
I have no idea how this design could be changed to make it look acceptable, it's just too hideous (no offense pls).


Live long and prosper.

By conventional definition a dreadnought is a vessel who's guns/phasers/what have you are all the same size. Now by a general definition in science fiction a dreadnought (or super-dreadnought, which is sometimes used) is a vessel that is, compared to a modern battleship of the said Sci-Fi, is vastly larger and more powerful.

If we are indeed going to make the Jupiter a "Dreadnought" then at the very least she needs a proper BO layout.

A dreadnought should not be a healer IMHO.

Then, i would suggest to give the Galaxy -X a similar BO layout.

I would agree to that. Here's the problem: Though, I do believe that the Galaxy-X as well as the Jupiter (should it come in) should receive such a layout we will be hearing a major outcry. Mostly from those who love the Sovereign. I believe that ANY cruiser (or vessel of similar or larger size) meant for combat should receive such a BO layout.

The thing is that a dreadnought isn't scary at all if it lacks the neccessary firepower.
Not just Damage over time, this doesn't kill any enemy.
Additionally i think that the Escort=Burst damage, Cruiser=Damage over time is just wrong.
It makes Escorts the only ships that can effectively kill an enemy and cruisers just boring to fly.
(Man, i hate MMOs )

I hope that the introduction of the First officer or a tier 6 upgrade can help a bit.


Live long and prosper.
