Quarg in the Korath AI region will easily be disabled by the Korath #1198

Lure a Quarg ship into a Korath firefight somehow. The Quarg WILL be disabled. Free skylances and quantum shield generators. Buff Quarg plz.

In the new version, where their hull is 50k, or back in the older version where it was 8k..?

any way they could develop a tech that makes the Quarg's shields immune/resistant to Mereti disruptors? i think that would better reflect the Quarg's style (relatively small/fast warships, so low hull strength), and be a more elegant display of their technological prowess.

This isn't really a problem is it? Typically by the time you can weather a mereti group large enough to disable a quarg vessel you could have done it yourself. Though that's a bit tougher to do effectively with the combined changes of ships fleeing at 50% hull plus increased quarg hp so you need a fair bit more firepower just to stop them before they jump out. Are you mainly concerned about being able to get the tech without the rep loss?

p.s. you should check out System Core (Large), I like to use two of those instead of a quantum shield and a nanotech battery, easier to get and you get hull repair along with it.

@Bladewood, what release are you using? This should be fixed in 0.9.1.

wambat1 commented 8 years ago

i don't think you can avoid the rep loss. if you want to plunder a disabled Qurag you still have to shoot it first. if you are already hostile due to bad rep, i don't think you are worried about the rep loss.

No, no, no, not a Quarg vs Mereti fight, a Quarg vs a swarm of Mereti and Sestor ships. Also, I am not trying to attack their fleets. I have a crappy ship, but it has a cloaking device. You have no idea how useful that is in this situation.

I've managed to reproduce this (sort of): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/zlcx27nvhqsncvr/quarggetrekt.png?dl=0

You know it's a serious threat when the Quarg get rekt. (unintentional rhyme ftw) And yes, this is 0.9.1.
