Post Varyag [T21 HF].
I was looking at wikipedia on Berserker, and came across a few things that I thought would be useful to a zerk. However, I didn't think it'd be good for existing ships, as it'd push many into the realm of 'Brok3n'.

Both would/could easily be super items for one ship, which I feel would be better for solo content than group. But, that goes just the same way for the Wattage.

The item concepts are as following:
(Names can be changed)

1. Berserker Charge, an item that acts like a Submerger, but doesn't drop your vis. Instead, it flares hostility and vis up.

2. Mjollnir Replica, an item that warps the ship a short distance away and creates a shockwave impacting all enemies around the ship and pushing them away. It also increases RPS by a small amount.


Basically, the items make the ship all about charging head first into battle, blasting apart clumps of enemies to invigorate and shield the player from damage.

To get the most out of the ship, you need to be constantly moving and battling. You don't have to, but the supers encourage an active player on the other end of the computer able to to make split second decisions that also isn't MCing a shm.


As for the ship, something in between a Wattage/Lion and a Zebra/PWave would be neat.

A 1000 times yes, if you make it into a thrust/turn increase and max speed increase instead of AFTERBURNERS AWAY!

Make this a AoE taunt! A 1000 times yes!

Yes

Remove this moving part, 99% of current content is done with the zerker (almost) never moving

Inbetween Wattage and Prawn?



Also, make the name Cerberus, make the blueprint drop off some Oly content and 49814389431894103 times yes.

Berserkers need a new T21 ship considering wattage is poop and Prawn is impossibru to get. Poseidon Wave is not a berserker ship, go away trolls.

I figure that theres already too much Olympus Content already, which is why I used the name Varyag. It's the Latin form of Viking.

Berserkers are commonly associated with Vikings. There are other cultures with Berserkers, but if 99% of the time a person connects Berserker and Viking instead of Berserker and Aztec or Persian.


I also find that "Not moving" and "berserker class" just limits content. Does it mean that shms and engineers may have to turn around or shuffle a bit to keep the zerk alive? Yeah, but it means that more content can be added instead of tank and spank.

Content that require the zerk to dive out of the way because the boss sometimes shoots off a 10m damage bullet. Etc.

^ this is my next boss suggestion :p

I do not like the name of the second item, but I like the ideas a lot. Not as inbuilts on a new ship though

I wouldn't mind see more than one zerk ship with items like these, but I feel that one of them should have some beefed version because they're integral to the ship.

Also, I figured the name of Thor's hammer would go with the Norsemen, seeing how it is a Viking ship. And it's not some one-off ship like the Divine Wattage. How would you have two of Thor's hammer when theres only one...?

Thats totally different.

You're talking about the successor to something. Like how Microsoft Vista is the next OS after Microsoft XP.

I'm talking about two identical copies of a unique thing. Like how theres only one Excalibur in history and or mythology.
