Reports have come in from explorers on the frontier of an unusual alien ship, of a type not previously known. No one has yet managed to take a high resolution picture of it; these far off shots are all the concrete information we have.
Strangely familiar in appearance. . .
Could it be the Unknown ship in the priv.tre?
Or are we going further?
Does it beat you up faster and better than any of the capital ships?
Tarsus and Talons and WHAT?!?!?!
Oh my. . .
Way Khuele screen shots though.
Seems to me, it was the same ship that waxed my tush when I hacked my .sav file in the original game and loaded my Centurion with ALL type I Steltek Guns. There is a type one and a type two gun. Then I got hammered in Troy system at Nav 1. EVERY TIME.
I couldn't even dent the shields of it. So I hacked again, changed my ECMS to 4, shield gens to 11 and my engines to 5 and went at it again. First you had to blow the escort. Not TOO bad. You did feel it, though. Then you had to beat IT.
HAMMERED.
In SECONDS.
Those guns were a nightmare. One hit and my shields, along with half my armour, were gone.
So I hacked again. I changed the gun re-fire rates in PRIV.TRE and attacked it again.
OMFG, ITS refire rate matched mine.
DEAD. As soon as it got me in its sights. The refire rate hack backfired.
There was NO soft spot. Front Back or sides.
I THINK the ship was the "Unknown" type in the "PRIV.TRE" file.
Look in the "GUIDSHIP" section for "Unknown" in "priv.tre Line" 293 I think it was.
Looking at it, the line address is: 009264f0h
Unless my mind is failing me the armour ratings were (Hex Pairs)
0A . 2C 01 . 2C 01 . 2C 01 . 2C 01.
That 01 in the 2C 01 acts something like a X3 multiplier.
If this is the same ship, people, YOU ARE DOOMED.
