Talk:Annihilator

Exaggeration?

"A single ship can easily lay the entire UFO fleet to waste," says the article.

I haven't gotten that far yet, but this rings a little false to me. Stunlocks weight balance very strongly toward numbers, and the aliens have those in the form of the Stasis Bomb Launcher. I can see a couple of ways to get around that (Cloaking Field and/or Plasma Defence Arrays to prevent Stasis Bomb hits, or staying out of range and bombarding with the Heavy Disruptor Beam), but those don't sound like "easily" to me, and I'm not sure they'd suffice to solo the Alien Dimension at full strength. Can someone confirm or deny this claim? Magic9mushroom (talk) 13:10, 9 August 2018 (CEST)

• The article is referring to the overworld around Mega-Primus itself. While they can't solo the aliens on their turf, they are more than capable of handling most ufo fleets on their own with proper usage. Mega-Primus itself is pretty helpless once you get to the tier since I don't think their anti-vehicle scales much at all (the bigger issue will be the fallout in relations after you total everything and end up having to use your own transportation to get anywhere since the taxis and subways won't take you). The big thing to keep in mind is that with a 8x8 for equipment, large shield, the 4x4 weapon slot up frontand two weapon slots with 3 x 4 space, you got a lot of room to carry weapons. With a recharging beam, and 5 minute rearm on anything with ammo (Unless it got fan-patched, you can detach and reattach weapons to instantly restock them), along with a lot of potential shielding, it is pretty self-sufficient for a ufo invasion since it has more than enough shields, health, and firepower to tank and take down everything.
