Attack Ratings

[Sirocco]

Okay, so I was playing the game as the Empire, and I built an Imperator II. I looked at the attack rating, and saw that it was around 1450! WTF, mate. That's just over a quarter what the Imperator I was listed as. When I built and Imperator III, the same issue, attack at 1450. And yet, the Imperator II is supposed to be an improvement in every way over the Imperator I. I've noticed this discrepancy with other ships, too, although their class names don't spring to mind. I'll post them if I come across them again.

 

Is the attack number correct? Am I hallucinating?

What the hell is an Imperator? If you're downloading Reb Ed Cards, then the stats haven't been changed, apparently. use Reb Ed and up the stats (I'm assuming these are cards since there is no Imperator in the game, much less a Mark III. Or did you just misspell Imperial several times?)

[Sirocco]

Imperator Star Destroyer. They're the basic Imperial Star Destroyer, but their proper class name is Imperator.

[DarthTofu]

Ah. Well, anyway, there are no imperator class I, II, or III Star Destroyers in the original game, so you simply got cards which were based off of the same Star Destroyer with no modifications made. You can either refresh the system and make everything as it was before, or you can modify the Stats with Reb Ed so that the Imperators are more lethal. Might want to make the opposition a bit tougher if you're gonna do that, though

Darth Tofu this is the Warlords forum what Sirocco is referring to is nothing to do with Rebellion (Supremacy in Britain ). To answer your question Sirocco don't go by the values given they're not somethin' that you can judge a ship by. Read the stat descriptions and look at the number and rating of the Turbo lasers, lasers, torpedos, concussion missles, rockets, bombs, blasters and so on, then you can see quite easily which will have more offensive firepower. Hope this helps.

Oh... whoops. Crap, my bad. Sorry for crappy advice, there.

Hey everyone makes mistakes I guess it's easy really considering this is on the swrebellion site

Warlords 0.45 = don't pay attention to some of the on screen info

 

Warlords 0.49997 = don't go by the info in the build description...as some ships have more weapons than described.

 

the only way to really know is go into the .ship files and count the number of weapon subsystems

 

...but as a rule of thumb, expensive ships generally have a reason for being so, whether it is survivability, firepower, special ability etc.

[Sirocco]

Makes sense. Does Eville plan on fixing this? It's confusing for newbies.

[Ivan_R]

v0.49997 removed the "attack rating" and "health" numbers for the ships, which were incorrect due to the way HW2 calculates things, and replaced it with a better (imo - some disagree), more minimalist UI.

 

errors in the build descriptions aren't exactly a pressing issue, so I guess whenever EJ gets around to it

 

but, yes, the attack rating/health confusion is sorted.

[Sirocco]

Okay, so I downloaded VERY recently (less than a week ago). Is there any reason why I got .45 rather than .49997?

[Ivan_R]

0.49997 is the beta of the beta

 

to be honest, I'm not sure where you can get it anymore either. Because it's not an actual "release" like 0.45 a few things tend to go screwy now and then.

 

if you've just got 0.45, just wait the few weeks/months or so until EJ releases 0.5

[Sirocco]

Sounds fine with me. .45 doesn't work that well anyway, for millions of reasons, so I'm hoping that .5 makes it more playable for me.
