      Default What's this?

      I can tell it's a Sohnen from the scanner and the beams, but what the frak is it? It's huge, it's fast, and it kicks my ass as much as it wants to... Found it in the Unknown sector west of Proxima Centauri.



      I managed to kill it in my Castrum, with the help of a few hundred fighter drones, my Mantis and tons of missiles... but...

      I want it.

      Can I cap it?

      Seems like you just encoutered the Basilisk, the Sohnen M7.

      Nope, you can´t posses or cap it since it is extremely imbalanced and possesng it would be cheating. Also, if you find another way to get hands on some Sohnen Ships, they will most likely take them back from you.

      They've tried that when I fly around in my Mantis. Three times, they've tried, in fact. I kick their pompous posteriors every time.

      Mmmm.... Basilisk...

      Maybe the bail signal extension script allows you to capture it. Or did you guys block that too?

      The Basilisk is a great enemy, but a game-killer in the players hands... it's like playing in god-mode all the time... park it in a busy Khaak sector, hands off, and it will clear it without breaking sweat (even in the Khaak sector east of Kao's Mistake, where I tried this)...

      The best part about the real Sohnen ships is working out how to take them out... it takes quite a bit of thinking and skill, and is, I believe, why they are there...

      All ships should have a weakness. The game is pointless if there's no balance.

      There should be at least one ship out there with an edge on the Sohnen... How about creating a stranded ship left for dead by the Ancients? It could be regular-strength when fighting, but have a reflector-shield or something, making the enemy's strength work for you. Against the mighty Sohnen, that would make them kill themselves... The ship should spawn randomly in an insanely well-protected sector (Kha'ak?) and it should cost a fortune to repair and equip.

      try Incubus it costs nearly 2billion 200GJ of shields and lots of SBC

      AFAIK your idea about shield reflector isn't possible to bring to life. btw what do you think about this??

      Eh?

      The Sohnen ships shouldn't be available as such, no. Unless they have their weakness like any other ship.

      I gave the one I had in my main game to the Argon and it's patrolling the two Argon sectors SW (Haven and the other Argon one ~forget it's name atm.)
      Wipes out those Xenon comming from the adjacent sector .

      I've been tempted to move it to the end mission sector with it's pals just to get that overpowered thing outa the universe (The M6 too).


      ... but I'm on TC atm
