I was thinking of an upgrade Crimson Obelisk should have, MK II , it increases attack to an extra 10% totataling 20% of the two crimson obelisks combined and to use it would cost only 15 energy, I think a lot of people would agree with me about this.

Crimson Obelisk MK II

Artifact Ability: Magnifies the intensity of weapon systems, temporarily increasing attack by 20%. Costs 15 energy to use.

P.s Please leave constructive comments and no smartass comments please!

If it was going to buff 20% it would cost more then 8 energy, 15 or 20 energy would probably work better. Other then that its a good idea.
How many artifact points to find? probably 2 or 3k

I edited my article

check again, you mention 15 energy and 8 energy =p
also that doesnt solve the artifact cost problem.

Dan already mentioned that certain artifacts are going to have a mission were if you complete it ( Each round would require say a Crimson Obilesk ) it give you the Boost permanantly.

Isn't there already a Crimson Amplifier?

I edited my article

an extra 10% isn't going to make much difference...

It would if you were battling a npc for example: Zolazin Shroud Base, MK 1 (standard) acts like a buffer and stops the said example from successfully using its attack power disrupting ability again having a effect on firepower. (Read sentence carefully)

Yes it does. +10% attack generally reduces the number of shots I use to disable a Common NPC by 1 and a player by 2-3. Stacked with a Crimson Amplifier (+15%) this would be a very nice boost.

Not really sold on the idea though.

What can i do to make it better?

you can already get a boost of 30% with artifacts add that to if you was konqul race (+20%) thats 50% attack that would be enough

If i read that carefully enough, you're saying it would counter the disruption effect? A-That would be a DEFENSIVE effect, not something from an OFFENSIVE boost, and B-the percentage stacking on boosts and nerfs doesn't work that way. Percentage boosts and nerfs MULTIPLY not ADD. So a ship running a Crimson Amp (+15%) and a Crimson Obelisk (+10%) gets a total of 26.5% over base attack, not 25%. If said ship is then hit with a -15% nerf, the final attack will be 7.525% over base, not 10%. Meaning this: A +15% boost and a -15% nerf do NOT balance out.

The best offence is a good defence!

and Ancient Crystal Foci +5% to attack

I am not talking about Ancient Crystal Foci's sparky.

uhm, hmm...

if the idea is to have another stacking arty to boost attack higher then +1

otherwise, bleh

nevermind
