Tyrannic - Underwhelming much?

[ifti]

800 Hull and 4 Guns, only one of which seemed to be a cause for concern. Being able to beat it with 270 Hull and 35mm Mortars and receive ALL THAT LOOT just seems a bit strange to me. Possibly buff it up a bit, much more danger danger? The rep loss was pretty funny tho.

Maybe it was meant to have more bark than bite?

I dunno, it seems to suggest that it demonstrated a great deal of power during the Chimeric Campaign which prevented further battles taking place. There's also the fact that you get two attack choices, the first one leading to barely denting the Tyrannic and your crew begging for you to turn away.

I'd complain about the grossly exaggerated size but I think it's a fair point to say that having hundreds of crew members aboard the vessel is highly impractical for gameplay, I just think it should've had bigger guns and more Hull strength. As it is now, the hardest battle in the game seems to be the battle against Ashen at the Orchard, and she isn't even using a darn Kinetopede!.

I boared it and won :p

Beat it with 140+ Guile and the crew killing guns from Thread. It's not much of a challenge if it can't hit you.

It's a museum ship piloted by a bunch of veterans, your attacking an old veterans home... Its the equivalent of attacking an honor guard at a tomb, like they are going to put up one hell of a fight, but what your doing in the first place is pretty questionable, and it's just an honor guard of some old veterans, not the brunt of the Cities military.

That's an interesting view on it, Bjorn.

Admittedly it was my brother's view of the ship, as a veteran. He said it just makes sense, after alot of wars gangs of soldiers form and things like ships get used as memorials. It made sense to me too, like blowing up some super weapon of the city of keys is one thing, and we do that elsewhere and the city is less mad. My brother pointed out the level of anger makes sense for destroying what in game is described as a veterans home for soldiers.

Also, it's mentioned that Tyrannic was built only after Chimeric Campaign and there are no mention of it taking part in Glass Reclamation (from my memory). It's like an iron scarecrow for Cities' neighbors.
