Well, not one shot of course. But quite powerful.

Maybe one ability worth considering that you haven't yet is the Kol's Gauss Cannon.  The ability is somewhat lackluster compared to other direct damage abilities, and its only redeeming feature is that low cooldown.  It basically requires flux field to be of any use whatsoever.

I would say - make it a low DMG, low AM, low cooldown ability that can just be spammed along with adaptive forcefield, making it do some respectable damage to a single target while still staying tough. Again, that's how I think it should look like... I'm not really sure how it exactly fares right now.

I'm out-voted, I guess. Stuck it in. Personally though, mine'll be mounting one with:

500/1000/1500 damage, 100/110/120 AM, and 20/22/24 CD.

pretty nice changes. I'd also have liked the high dmg, high cd grg, but it might be too powerful.

I also though: should the antorak get immunity from the starbases jump destebalisation? it would accentuate its role as a fast strike and return vessel and unless it takes support craft with it (which would not benefit from this anyway), I don't think it would be too overpowered, it's not like this thing is a dmg dealer nightmare. still, the combination of relatively easy bypass and planet damaging weapon and the portable phase gate could be pretty dangerous. would be more of an incentive to buy it, though, no? any thoughts?

Antorak is the only cap ship in the game built around being all guerilla surprise attacks and stuff.
Bypassing Starbases' jump destabilization is a PERFECT ability for this ship.

It may not ignore it completely, but I suppose you could add this to Distort Gravity:

Reduces life loss due to Phase Destabilization by 33/66/100% (meaning 2/3 , 1/3 or no damage taken)
Reduces antimatter loss due to phase jumping by 20/40/60% (meaning that with Distort Gravity active you would lose 20/40/60% less antimatter when phase jumping and it would also save 20/40/60% antimatter a Destabilization would take away).

Great idea, shadow.

I think that it shouldn't be Antorak-only, though. A lone Marauder can't do much anyway as long as it cannot hurt the enemy econ directly (embargo would be great for this ship). The suggested changes for subversion don't help much, antorak still won't hurt anything (it would still take days to kill a planet with that antorak and no economy would take a big hit from losing a few citizens).
Phase stabilization is good as it is, being immune to phase destabilization (lol) would not help much - antorak restores antimatter fastest among all Vasari caps.

I believe Antorak should be well suited to helping his fleet maneuver efficiently in enemy territory. Alone it cannot do much.

@Kitkun:

You do realize that that thing would overpower CB right?  I mean, that thing is WAY more efficient than CB.  Sure, it deals 10% less damage, but it requires 33% less AM than CB does.

So... No...  Cool though, but you have to make the AM cost higher if you are going to do that as well as CD...

Or you could always keep the damage we have now and make it spammable...  I suppose doing that would make FF not do much, so you may want to try the super-heavy gun...  I still say have it be something like: 500/1000/1500.  Don't go over 1500 as you are entering the realm of CB MB and Disintegration.  Don't go there...

nice to hear my idea is positively reflected.

about the GRG and CB: what about the dmg going something like 500/1000/1500 but also with increasing cooldown and am cost? with the highest level being somewhat closer to CB?

dmg. 500 - 1000 - 1500

am 75 - 110- 150

CD 20 - 35 - 45

(rough values)

even with the synergy from FF you couldn't fire it all the time  due to CD and it does only do dmg to a single target.

If you'll notice, I added a different GRG to the OP. (Also edited the one I made for my ship.)

I like the Antorak with those suggestions, though I'd reduce the dureation again and weaken the PJI negation at lower levels to compensate for the huge effects of the new ability.

Of course, I can't actually make any of those changes, but that's for the other thread.

Actually, I disagree with the suggested fix with Scramble Bombers on the Antorak. I'll explain why.

TEC have two anti-channelling abilities. Magnetize (ok, it's bugged a little, it doesn't stop an ability mid-use), and Ion Bolt.

The Advent have two anti-channelling abilities too. Reverie on the Revelation and Antimatter bomb on the Radiance.

Vasari at the moment has only 1. Phase Out Hull on the Marauder. I'd like Scramble bombers to be some sort of "kamikaze" bombers, or "disabling" bombers that when it hits the enemy it either sacrifices itself or damages with special nanites respectively. This will disable an enemy cap. 

I propose this because Vasari is on the short end of the stick for countering MB. Phase out hull is easily the worst of all the abilities I've mentioned (you can't attack it after you do the ability). When I'm TEC, I KNOW a Marauder is coming out for the Vasari player if he wants to live, so I focus fire everything I have outside of the marza to get the marauder first, or I'll just wait for the ship to waste its small amount of antimatter stores, or hell, I'll just hit it with an EMP blast from the Dunov.

We know scramble bombers needs a re-work. Why not kill 2 birds with one stone? 

That's the direction I'd go. 

should detonate anitmatter reduce antimatter reserves? i think, logically, it makes sense, and i don't think it would become OP if it was, say 5 AM/s, for 50 total i think

Irony, in its prime and perfect form. LOL

Sigh, poor Antorak.

i'm slightly confused. the antorak DOES have the best antimatter reserves of the vasari, as do the dunov and the rapture for the TEC and Advent, respectively.

If you want to compare gauss cannon to nanos, it'll be a little difficult.  Gauss is instant damage, nanos is damage over time.  You can't use nanos twice in a row on the same target (it won't stack) but you can use it on multiple targets to have its DoT effect on several. 

However, if you want to look at the maximum damage potential of gauss cannon compared to nanos on a single target, that's doable.

Nanos damage per second is very obvious and easy to calculate.  It deals 30 damage per second at all levels, which is shield bypass damage.

Presuming 66% mitigation (but not counting armour), gauss cannon level 3 deals an effective 266 damage per shot, and shoots once every six seconds.  This comes out to 44 damage per second.  So ignoring antimatter costs, armour, the fact that the egg can affect multiple targets simultaneously, the armour debuff of nanos, and the shield bypass property of nanos, gauss cannon is slightly better at level 3.  Of course, even ignoring all these factors that are strongly in the favour of nanos, the average DPS of a direct damage ability being used constantly should outclass a damage over time ability that doesn't need to be used constantly (and indeed can be used on multiple targets simultaneously. 

Now, with Kitkun's changes gauss cannon level 3 would deal 66 DPS at a slightly high antimatter cost (the ability has to be used more often, negating the antimatter cost reduction buff).  This is only double the DPS of nanos, but it costs ludicrously more antimatter, must be constantly fired at the same target (egg can retreat after using it or fire at multiple targets), doesn't have a debuff, and has to get through shields first.

Personally, I think gauss cannon should keep its current cooldown and antimatter costs, and move to  550 / 1000 / 1400 damage, or somewhere in that neighbourhood.  Using my prior methodology, the DPS of level 3 gauss cannon would be 77, only moderately higher than Kitkun's current values.  This would be roughly 2.5 times the damage output of nanos, but without the many other advantages nanos offers.  However, constantly barraging a target with gauss cannon costs over 6 times as much antimatter as simply hitting it with nanos.  So, 2.5 times the damage for 6 times the antimatter, none of the many other benefits associated with nanos.  In other words, I think nanos is still much stronger than this powerful ability I've suggested.
