Is Farragut stronger then Majestic class interdictor?

Majestic class interdictor is not a battleship... more of a support carrier. The weapons are generally weaker than the Farragut.

I thought you couldn't kill these ships just the modules.

Have you seen them battle?
farraguts got shells flying out of it at every angle...
majestics got like... 1 "railgun" or whatever the hell it is (the blue laser thing lol)... most os a farraguts heat relays are pretty well guarded in the center of the ship.. cant say the same for the majestic

Clearly you didn't read what I posted...

i think farragut are stronger ... which tend to be the case for every counterpart ship of all of core dynamics's creation, where the federation relly on technologie, the empire rely on the number

[Edelweiss ✿]

Yeah they aren't 'balanced' at all, the feds have way better weapons on their ship. Their projectiles also travel a lot faster, whereas the imperial weapons on the majestic are so slow it's rare that they hit

Wut?
The Federation rely on armor and more and bigger weapons. That's not "technology".

"Technology" is clearly on the Empire side. Railguns vs. projectiles. Design vs. bulky parts.

Imperial ships rely on their speed and versatility. An advantage the Majestic Class, with limited possibilities in a warzone with non moving capitals clearly can't play. I wish they would move.

This, if capitals were dynamic they would make conflict zones way more interesting. They have a cool entrance but thats pretty much it.

I don't think that this is the case. The main difference between the 2 capital ships is their intended purpose. The Farragut is designed primarily as a battleship, therefore has nothing that is primarily used for any other purpose. The Majestic Class Interdictor is designed on a different basis. According to the official art book, they "are not just warships, but also serve as roving embassies or giant yachts for their wealthy and powerful owners." The fundamental design difference due to differences in culture and society as well as the power projection philosophies that drove the design of the ship results in a weaker imperial capital ship.

On another note, the Empire is not really more technically advanced than the Federation; in fact, it seems like the opposite is true. The Empire is said to rely much less on technology due to its use of indentured servants (imperial slaves) while the corporations in the Federation are very dependent on technology - perhaps even to the point that the Federation could be counted as a Technocracy (seeing as the corporations seemingly run the Federal Congress).

[Nfected]

Unassisted, equal conditions, a farragut will always defeat an interdictor first- usually with about 50% integrity left

Oh boy, a necro

[Turd Ferguson]

they spend enough money on white paint to buy at least 2 more guns.

Ouch.
Technocracy != Corporations in charge.
In a technocracy scientists and engineers replace politicians. Parties are irrelevant. Goals are mostly technological advance. Corporations on the other hand follow economic goals.

The Federation is a satirical view of the modern USA and thus a very capitalistic system. Corporations and wealthy groups "own" the politicians. Humans are seen as a resource of labor. Social security is low. Even the two party system is there. Hudson (= Space Trump) is republican, while Winters is the democrats (liberal) candidate.

I want to see a majestic ram a farragut or vice versa. That would be the most epic thing ever.

[Arya]

Farraguts are also harder for a player to knock out. Majestics have a very deep dead-zone where their guns can't track, and their vulnerable areas aren't protected by hull geometry. It's painfully easy to strafe one. At least the shape of a Farragut is somewhat defensively oriented.

[Personnage non Joueur]

Hmm two heat relays are positioned sorta in a Farragut. The guns can't actually reach in there, you can actually crawl into a Farragut to shoot out these relays.
