Ship Series: The TEC Primacy Ragnarov Titan

The TEC Primacy’s flagship is the weapon-laden Ragnarov-class titan. In keeping with the Primacy’s philosophy that all enemies should be destroyed, the Ragnarov is embodiment of this ideal, as most of the ship is composed of a massive rail gun. In the time since we first looked at the Ragnarov, she’s only become more deadly with the inclusion of point-defense autocannons as part of her standard arsenal.

 

 

Armament

• 1 x Rail Gun
• 10 x Medium Autocannon Turrets (5 per side)
• 14 x Point Defense Autocannon Turrets
• 4 x Fixed Dual-Gauss Cannons
• 12 x Dual-Gauss Turrets (3 per pylon)
• 1 x Planetary Bombardment Cannon
• 4 x Heavy Missile Launcher Batteries (Optional)
• Up to 10 strikecraft squadrons (Optional)

As a counterpoint to the TEC Enclave’s Ankylon titan which focuses on defense, the Primacy goes all-in on offense. However, as powerful as the Ragnarov is, without a supporting fleet it is vulnerable to enemy assault.

 

Ragnarov Abilities

• Piercing Shot: The titan fires an extremely powerful, long-range shell that deals massive damage to a single target.
• Explosive Shot: The Ragnarov fires an explosive shell at a target enemy which deals area damage.
• Warpath: For a short duration, each enemy destroyed gives the Ragnarov a stacking weapon damage bonus. Defeating larger enemies grants multiple stacks.
• Novalith Cannon: Using its embedded railgun, the titan fires a devastating nuclear payload at a nearby hostile planet, inflicting massive surface damage and disabling all defensive structures for a time.

 

Offensive Upgrade Options

• Missile Launchers: Adds 4 heavy missile batteries to the titan.
• Railgun Accelerator: Upgrades the railgun’s power system and barrel materials to greatly increase its strength.
• Rapid Autoloader: Increases the reload rate of all Physical weapons. Can be briefly overcharged to further increase cooldown.
• Targeting Array: Greatly increases the weapon range of the titan and nearby ships.
• Missile Guidance Computer: Enables missing retargeting and bonus damage to missiles fired by friendly units within range.
• High Yield Warheads: Greatly increases planet bombing damage. Can be activated to grant increased damage to all nearby units for a duration.

Defensive Upgrade Options

• Flak Burst: Adds Flak launchers to the titan, which can inflict Physical damage over time to all strike craft and missiles within a short range.
• Extra Armor Plating (I-II): Each level increases the maximum Hull Points, Armor Points, and overall Armor Strength of the titan. These upgrades also enhance passive generation rates for hull and armor.
• Combat Repair System: The addition of small robotic repair drones gives the titan a passive bonus to repair rates, which persists in combat. When brought to full power, this rate is boosted for a short duration.
• Reactive Plating: Improves the ship’s armor plating with special technology to reactively counter the impact of incoming missiles.
• Ablative Armor: Adds advanced armor plates that are designed to ablate into clouds of disrupting particles when struck by beam weapons.
