Truth. I want people to say "sh*t it's the UNSC!!1! (high scream)" when this mod goes into 7DS but its a very different story for this mod. I wonder what I should do about the covenant for 7DS...
Huge shields, crappy hulls, ships have incendiary rounds ability for their plasma for that napalm feeling. Fast in phase and sub-light. How crappy? Well, phase missiles are good against Advent, right? Well, they are even better against the Covenant!
Covenant uses speed, shields, sticky, burning plasma for hit-and-run type techniques. Micro is your friend. Big shields/mitigation let them stay fighting for a while. Of course, once their shields drop, they are very dead meat.
UNSC and Empire let your pathetic attacks bounce harmlessly off their ships. I mean a Marathon will have what, 20 armor and 5,000 HP no research and level 1 in 7DS?
Did I mention that you will need a lot of metal to make that much armor plating?
And all that armor makes their ships move really, really slowly. The UNSC is continental drift. Slow as hell, but impossible to stop.
And Colt, proton torpedoes are not as strong as nuclear warheads. If they were, one warhead could blow up an entire city, and as far as I know, everyone uses turbolasers to bombard cities to dust, instead of a single proton torpedo. If proton torpedoes were as powerful as a nuke, I doubt that Rogue Squadron would waste them on TIE fighters. Proton torpedoes have at most a 1-2 ton yield.
