Mobile Yamato Cannon platform...godmod?

This pic is a stock one by the same guy who helped me make the Victory battlship. He tweaked the colors a bit for my use then emailed it to me. I thought it'd make a nice mobile Yamato Cannon. Of course, it'd be nearly nothing other than a reactor and a Yamato cannon, plus a few PD weapons, and nearly no armor. But still...I was wondering if having a few more of the 1 terraton energy cannons would be a godmod.

Here's the pic.

So long as it has a long charge time and is fairly unmanouverable.

As long as you're willing to loose it as easily as any other lightly armored ship, it's fine in my opinion.

I see no problems so long as it has little armour, and a charge time of around a minute. As well as having a maximum speed of around 200 KM/H.

1 teraton is fine with me, and I don't care about armor... I mean, My valiance can do almost .5 teratons, and it's a bug compared to your ship.

Which reminds me I left an important thing out of the Farad stats... duration lol

Feazanthia, any large weapons platform should have fairly long recharge times. Since yours does, there's no problem. The gerenal rule is; The more damage it delivers in one shot, the longer the recharge time.

As for armour or other defences, I would assume it would have at least some. That's really up to you. The Sskiss have one in the works, but it won't be out for quite some time yet.

I would give it more armor, have it at least be able to take a slight pounding. Sure, you would have an even slower-moving ship, but if you have an uberweapon that can't take some heavy railgun slugs, then it's pretty much useless...

well, teh thing is, whatever you do, make it so it doesnt have godlike defenses. i dotn care how you do it, but persay, say right after it shoots, it's sheilds go down. Otherwise everyone ever will ignore it.

i wouldnt add more armor per say, but i might just make it have a slight carrying capacity, or have some decent sheilds on it.

Basic rule: If this thing has the power to destroy a planet, don't ALSO give it the power to deflect another buster weapon WHILE it's charging.
