Is a GANGLIA why exactly?
UGTO gets either a destroyer or a BD, both better compared to the ganglia, ICC gets a destroyer or a cruiser (AC they tell me) both also alot better then the ganglia... so why exactly are the close combat faction getting a missile dread elite NPC?
its a horrible, horrible ship and the AI cant use it properly, it thinks its a mandible or siphon fgs :/

it has 2x the missiles a gang fires, also 2x the PSI cannons and fighters as well. It also packs quite a punch with its beams. I know this because I have fought it while trying to bomb Sag Hottha in a SS. Its one real nasty dread if a player got his hands on it.......well lets just not go there.

Yeah, but AI are still AI - I've soled both the UGTO and the K'Luth elite dreads, several times. Think back to that line from Red October: "Get in behind him and stay there!"
Ain't exactly hard when your enemies idea of "dodging" consists of going in a straight line.

It's not comparable in any way, shape or form to any existing layouts or other K'luth ships.

Nasty... rofl
I notice "Grand Admiral ...[elite]" doesn't have the type in its name. Dunno what enhs it will give after its death.
Btw, the AI ship seems to be smarter.

Its name and design was determined in a contest held a while back. If you had a better idea, that was the time to propose it.

It drops enhanced stuff, no advanced (that I have gotten so far). Still one nasty ship to fight against tho, even if it is AI.

I just attacked this elite today, i must say it was pretty strong. Then again, it did have some backup. He gave my BD quite a fight and then jumped out, same with my battle station, because my QSTS bugged:(
