I'm headed right, but for some reason I can't view what fleets are actually ON the planet.

[Kai]

That's strange, cuz ur my ally and all.

It's 113 cruisers, 3 subspacers, 1 blackbird. 2 mil population so 2k steel a turn. The counter fleet is 200 subspacer/destroyer with a few battlecruisers follow up. That's about 200k steel so you might have to hold off for a while.

On the left is 152 cruisers, but this planet has full population. We'll have to gangbang it later.

He uses crusiers for defense? Their advantage is speed and reasonable attack ratings, seems stupid to use them on defense. I can apparently make super battleships now. Need to experiment with what works best to crush planetary defense, high defense expensive craft, lots of cheap craft, large fleets, multiple smaller fleets that sort of thing.

So far I've only encountered the defense system twice, against two fleets of 1 cruiser each. Both fleets were approaching the same planet, which was able to target both fleets in a single turn. One fleet was slightly further away from the planet, and the attack missed, the other attack hit and destroyed the cruiser.

The 1.5x combat numbers cap makes mass cruisers reasonable against everything.

Defence system is 20% chance to kill any ship in range per turn.

Since Quatloos are basically worthless its a choice between defence system and more subspacers.

That would suggest that 1 big fleet of cheap fast ships should be the best solution I guess.

[Gustav Kuriga]

Would anyone like to send some arcs to the space to my east? There is plenty of room to expand, and sirgumby+uranus make for good neighbors.

[De-Legro]

Just took a look at my fleets summary, 16 pages of fleets :). Pity most of them are 1 ship scout or subspacer fleets

[fodder]

problem is that you can't actually see overlapping things (on the same dot)?

[Kai]

Fleet: Fleet #11653, 18 (11653) Battle! -- Our Ships Lost:
             blackbirds -- 1
             subspacers -- 9 (total 13 in fleet)
             destroyers -- 4
Fleet: Fleet #13264, 14 cruisers (13264) Battle! -- Their Ships Lost:
               cruisers -- 1

What the hell? That should have been 140/38 vs 196/56

Also carlwolcott sent 2 super battlecruisers near me what should I do?

Attack his 2 with 3 or 4 of your own?

[fodder]

what is a good mix of ships?

all super battleship? mix of sb/battleship? mix of those with smaller ships?

silverfire/kingdante is getting into a fight with pussey... wondering what would be good to help him with...

!@#$ man, that's a big fleet.

I'm deploying just about everything I have in that direction now. My home planet will henceforth no longer be producing arcs, and will produce exclusively military ships. Luckily, some of my colonies are starting to get up there in society level, and may be able to build some arcs within a few days/weeks.

[Daycryn]

Uranus is moving some cruisers around awfully close to my worlds. Destination unknown, purpose unknown but likely malign. I *really* don't like, as a newbie, having to contend with people whose main advantage cometh solely from the fact that they found and started playing the game before me.

[Gustav Kuriga]

Send him a message asking for neutrality. I did that and he's leaving me alone. He is actually a nice player, you just have to play nice back.
