Anymore I pretty much just collect info, don't play and dig into it like I used to, so probably something everyone else is aware of and I'm just behind because of my lack of actually in game time anymore! ;)
Anyway, nice fleet and I need to figure out how the flames went away immediately! (someone feel free to tell me I'm crazy too)
My guess is it is a "feature" of the 2ndary field: Interceptor Cryogenic Field (draconian).
ReplyDeleteWhere I've seen this before is on the Proto-Nem here that had a cryogenic field added to it as a tac module: http://bp-information.blogspot.com/2014/10/campaign-fractured-empires-fleet.html
So only guessing that the Cryogenic field puts out fire?? Not sure if there are any threads to verify this, but I'm sure if there are, one of you will know and be able to point me in the right direction.
Ok, like a dog with a bone, had to go look....
DeleteTheBAM mentions it here: https://www.kixeye.com/forum/discussion/comment/4240133
"...The Frostburn Interceptor's Cryogenic Field can put out fire patches and increase your fleet's survivability. ..."
Or one comment up from there at least.
So good to know in the future, anything with the cryogenic field can put out fires. Guess it makes sense, ice putting out fire. Not sure I saw that in any of the postings before, but who knows!
My guess is that in january the reavers will return and you need the ice to fight the fire.. so any1 not getting the frostbum will be shafted lol
ReplyDeleteXnih - it is indeed the Frostburn's cryo field that is putting out the fires. The new hull makes fighting the dredges a lot more manageable as it extinguishes all of their reaver fire and also trivializes base defense turrets like napalms. A very handy ship for the current meta.
ReplyDeletecool, it wasn't anything I'd seen documented until I went looking, so was just at a loss seeing it happen in my base.
DeleteIt's just feature of the any "Item Groups : cryo1" (I think), if you will dig a little bit deeper, you will find that Frostburn's Cryogenic Field is just a copy of original Proto-Nemesis Cryogenic Field with changed stats :)
DeleteI really hate when it doesn't save my reply's.....
DeleteYes you appear to be correct, they are both of Item Group cyro1. The stats are identical except for a few things:
1. 7500 - Tac Module on the protonem has a weight and an armor value.
2. 7500 is a tac module and could be added to anything with a tac module slot
3. 7511 - is a 2ndary attribute of the hull (frostburn). Could be added as a 2ndary on another in the future too
4. Range of 97 for 7500 (tac mod), range of 60 for 7511 (2ndary stats)
But I can see these being added more and more in the future.
The most startling thing about the Frostburn seems to be that it's actually working 100% correctly, as advertised and wasn't incorrectly described by Kixeye in any way shape or form before or during the event.
ReplyDeleteThat's because they'd already dealt with any 'bugs' when it was on the protos during the last round of reaver raids.

ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know if the Frostburn puts out your own fires? I'm guessing not, but wouldn't mind having it confirmed.
ReplyDeleteOne other way to put out fires is the Radiation Suppressor tactical special for buildings. I built 5 and my base is (so far) invulnerable to the average NC fleet
