Dreadnoughts, carriers and other catbox lorries

[Death's Head]

I wonder why they removed like half the Vesuvius turrets, those little lasers kinda take the battle carrier designation and throw it out the window.

 

[Earthworm]

The Vesuvius isn't a battle carrier.

And since the Vesuvius ins't realy a part of SO why would they bother giving it better guns.

Heavy armour, guns and lots of fighters what is it then?

 

[Earthworm]

A carrier, that's all.

But in Prophecy/SO they're yellow, IIRC some other gun in WC4 was yellow (photon, particele?) so the couldn't use it.

The yellow guns on capships in Wing 3/4 are AMG's.

The Dreadnought has *one* *small* bay -- and a very large missile launcher. Each 'prong' has some sort of non-simulated energy weapon.

ahem well what are those triple turrets on the plunkett? I thought they were particles

 

[Earthworm]

The Plunkett has three triple Particle turets, and one triple Plasma turet. The Particles in Prophecy/SO are red/pink or something like that.
