Some important improvements compared to the original shiplist:
The names are taken from the Perry Rhodan series, except the "Improbability" and "Bistromatic" which are from the "Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy".
Name | Techlevel | old | Remarks |
Impulse Drive | 1 | · | as always build if you want no engines. |
Linear Drive | 3 | Warp 3 | useful up to Warp 5-6 for smaller ships |
TransshieldGenerator | 4 | Warp 5 | provides a good ESB |
Dimesexta Drive | 5 | Warp 6 | useful up to Warp 8 for smaller ships |
Metagrav Drive | 6 | Warp 7 | useful up to Warp 8 for normal sized ships |
Enerpsi Drive | 7 | Warp 8 | top for moving Warp 8 |
Interuniversal Drive | 8 | · | expensive, fuel saving till Warp 8 |
Improbability Drive | 9 | Warp 9 | most common drive |
Bistromatic Drive | 10 | · | expensive, fuel saving Warp 9 Drive |
(old means the same as ALTLIST 3)
Name | TechLevel | Taken from | Remarks |
Laser Cannon | 1 | Star Wars | low-cost low power laser, at least recommended against fighter carriers |
Kill-O-Zap | 2 | Hitch Hiker | standard freighter catcher, ignore shields |
Disintegrator | 3 | Perry Rhodan | starting beam weapon to take over low defense planets, high recharge rate |
Phaser | 5 | Star Trek | another good beam to take over low defense planets |
Disruptor | 6 | Star Trek | best beam to capture ships, ignore shields |
Electron Ram | 6 | Hitch Hiker | standard beam weapon for middle sized warships |
Ion Cannon | 7 | Star Wars | best destroy power to cost ratio |
Turbolaser Battery | 8 | Star Wars | comparable to IonCannons, but higher kill power and high racharge rate |
Inpotron Cannon | 9 | Perry Rhodan | best kill rate, best recharge rate |
Multitraf Spiral | 10 | Perry Rhodan | Multitraf rules, best sweep rate and destroy power |
Remark: The Orion Pirates (Privateers) can capture every ship in the game if they get the 10000 shots they need with their Gen code destructors :-).
Name | TechLevel | Taken from | Remarks |
Space Rocket | 1 | Perry Rhodan | low-cost tubes, at least recommended |
Paralyso-Matic Bomb | 2 | Hitch Hiker | standard freighter catcher, ignore shields |
Fusion Bomb | 3 | Perry Rhodan | inital tubes, high racharge rate |
Initial Bomb | 5 | Perry Rhodan | perfect initial tubes due to excellent destroy power, but expensive torp units |
Photon Bomb | 6 | Perry Rhodan | best ship capture tubes, ignore shields |
Graviton Bomb | 6 | Perry Rhodan | nice standard torp weapon for middle sized warships |
Arkon Bomb | 7 | Perry Rhodan | best ratio destroy/killing power to torpedo unit cost |
Antimatter Bomb | 8 | Perry Rhodan | standard tube for all ships |
Katalysator Bomb | 9 | Perry Rhodan | best kill rate, best recharge rate |
Selphyr-Fataro-Device | 10 | Perry Rhodan | expensive, but Selphyr-Fataro rules. Best mine laying rate |
In general you get more destructive power per MC if you use lower Torps but you need more time to fire enough torpedos. This will make cheaper torpedos an alternative. Photon and Antimatter Bombs are pretty good alternatives to Selphyr-Fataro-Devices.
