Alliance forces (blockman42's ships for the forged alliance)

Therein lies the problem with big ships.

Well since I have more time than Pat to build, making a bigger ship might be a little more tangible for me! And the problem with the amount of time it takes to make an assault ship, smaller frigates should be stressed.

They're already as such. A swarm of corvettes can take out a single cruiser, easy. In this way ship diversity is encouraged so people won't just stroll about in massive dreadnoughts that pwnz0r everything.

But then some people might make a ton of corvettes and decimate a fleet of cruisers, battlecruisers, frigates and a dreadnought. There would need to be a balance in ship classes.

Build faster tracking smaller caliber weapons for dealing with corvettes, than, instead of dedicating all of your weaponry to cruiser-busters.

Interesting. I will begin creating standard weapons that you can buy and stick on your ships.

That's a bit hard to do without the weapons

It's the thought that counts.

Fools! You think I would invest so much in such a large project without equipping it with innumerable arrays of various weapon types designed to be fired at any and every single kind of ship in every single direction simultaneously?

Exactly. In this manner we can build Specialist starcraft or multipurpose ones that sacrifice damage but are able to be effective against a wider variety of targets. I think this could work very well with end user ingenuity.

Can you fire through time?

You bet I can.

That'd be suicide, though

What do you mean?

If you killed someone, they probably interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with someone who interacted with you. By killing that one person you're altering the present, so consequently everyone fades away and are replaced by exact copies with a different memories due to the history you erased.

In layman's terms, you create a space-time paradox that destroys the universe.

Mission Accomplished.

INCLUDING you. Would make a good Mutually Assured Destruction weapon, though. I will look into this...

Also gais, new record, 2 pages of being ontopic

In the words of Death:

You have an inflated sense of your own importance.

Chances are, by killing someone in the past, things will change very little in the present, depending on who you kill.

Do I look like I care what you find my argument to be?

Listen, Pats new ship can only be stopped in two ways.

1: destroying the ship before completion

2: Creating a battle plan that can, some how, outsmart Pat. (very hard but possible)

1. Kamikaze ships - works every time
2. A super how you call it ... "Dreadnaught" ...
3. Why should we engage this ship for now ? I know that at least my base is surrounded by freaking tons of weapon modules and one ship cannot protect systems , so I can simply outmaneuver pat and strike at his flank, that’s OFC if he spent all his recourses on this particular ship and doesn't have a fleet.
4. As long as you have the critical mass to destroy the ship's hull it has point to disarm the ship and let your fleet to do the rest. That would be a bloody battle in front of his main cannon but the results should be more than satisfying.
5. Why should we fight again ? Make a peace treaty with pat and problem solved .

OFC pat will have something for all cases , but what I like about this mod is the total element of surprise - you never know how big is the ship your enemy hides in the nebula ...

We created this no lose strategy at school:

Play normally.
If that fails; call in a friend
If that fails; Google it
If that fails; use hacks.
If that fails; use more hacks!
If that fails; call in Mackeroth
If that fails; you are doomed.

And if Mackeroth fails, lie and say you beat it.

Either make a fleet so big that he cant win no matter what, like for every ship he has we have 20. And besides there will always be bigger ships than pat's like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUuOKG8LoZI !

Or a peace treaty (I want to make a treaty with pat so bad)
