Quasi-Chaos Chain Charge

Trap 1 week, stacks 3 on ship

The trap, when applied, has a chance to inflict 5000 damage to the attacking ship instantly. It will be a multiple use item that will be applied as 3 effects on a ship. Ie. the use of one artifact will effectively apply 3 charges to the ship damaging for 5000 damage each charge. Thus the name 'Chain Charge'

Dealing 15000 damage is more of a threat to high level players and actually does something...

I figure it will be a CT-Lab item, initial costs might be 50 energy, 25 EMP spheres, 75 omicron traps, and 25 Unstable Wormhole Emitters.

Thoughts, improvements, suggestions?

Edited requirements

It sounds like a pretty good idea.

EDIT: Well, I'm a bit iffy on the Thetacron cost, it seems like it'd take too much energy overall to bother with.

You're right, the mission cost for thetacrons is a lot already. I've edited the cost to account for this.

Yeah, that seems more viable, I might actually go ahead and get around to making Thetacron Mines if there was something like this, right now they don't feel worth it.

why just make the trap cost omicron mine traps only without the mission trap cost a lot of energy already.

Because that's a lot of damage it's giving out.

This idea certainly has merit. +1 from me.

if it had no thetacrons I'd be cool with it just double the omicrons but that's my thinking.

Like the idea, he current traps have become a joke! Traps and mines are supposed to stop players, not tickle them!

Cheers,

Ok, I've edited it, taking out the Thetacron requirement and adding in EMP Spheres. I've also increased the number of omicron mines required for construction.

Were you reading my mind? HECK YES........we need something that is actually able to do some damage, not just take a few hull points off. At the higher ranks the current traps do almost nothing except require the attackers to have a few null fuses on hand. Thanks for suggesting this, its a great idea, timely and an improvement to current game play!

lol is it wierd i suggested this 2 months ago? i hope it gets implemented...

Now that's a trap!

+1

I don't even bother putting up the omicron or Thetacron trap's. And when I hit them, I always wonder why people bother putting them up since they do so little damage.
