Awww but we liked you :frown:. Well, not so much now that I see you writing posts 5 times better than mine even with this crazy disability that you seem to have developed. Ah, well, guess I'll just sit here and wallow in my own mediocrity :D.

I don't see how you know about the existence of the Voinians, Redchigh. Since I stepped down my position for you, I can't do anything directly about it, but I can pester you with logic until you give in. You shouldn't know about the Voinians (arguably, you shouldn't even know about the Conclave, or of Freeport & humanity, but...)

Ok, I'll delete it..
I figured it'd be possible since Io's an Escort, and has explored the galaxy, but I'll take your word.

Esponer, thanks so much for the info on Zidagar systems! I wouldn't have been able to do this otherwise.

Ne Demord Jamais, would you play UE for us?

I think U.E. Admiral has already recruited a U.E. player.

Cruel fate. Just yesterday, I got a massive wave of inspiration for the UE.

Damnit.

Beeblebrox; I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you recover as soon as possible, for your own sake. I'd ask if there was anything I could do to help... but there are several thousand miles between us, so it wouldn't even be a nice sentiment, it'd be absurd. : )

Ouch! That has gotta hurt. I wonder who the replacement will be.

Heh, how very sypathetic. "Really sorry you're hurt mate... now who's got dibs on your spot?"

Sorry, just had to through my little bit of sarcasam in there. Seriously though, you have my sympathy, I know what having an arm disabled can be like.

Or I could be UE... That is, if no one minds.

I can handle three characters.

I have recruited a player. He should be active in a few days depending on how fast he reads through the story.

Thanks for the offer grunadulater, but I have final exams and new responsabilities that do not allow me to write at a pace that would not bother you.

I hope a nice nurse will take care of you Beeblebrox!

Yeah, I'm getting a flight over to be with him specially.

Just a note, to Zurg and everybody else. Admiral and I have agreed that on the 18th, if Zurg has not responded to my attack on Riomor, I may finish it.

Sorry for not responding, I have not found the time during the last few days to respond but I will do so by the 18th.
Thanks,Esponer, for updating my fleet I just assumed that most of my recources were going into the cloning project.

S'okay. You did worry me a bit, though.

And since no-one else is worrying about resources, I don't see why you need to.

Seriously Beebledrox, I am sorry about your arm. There was only a few minutes left in class for me to write it.

Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho! It is going to be (Game Beep) ReChigh that will take over for the UE/. We might have someone that will take over the Emalgha.

Okay I have a couple of problems with your post Grundy. The biggest part of it is you blowing up a Carrier that from reading your posts, was never assigned to Notil... or for that matter even constructed that I can see. You have only posted assigning ships to Ersadt and Mordus over the past few days, even if you did build this Carrier, your most recent update of fleet numbers shows Notil as having only the ships that I wrote into the battle.

Another is your use of tractor and repuler tech. From what I can see you did post something about a "Berserker Upgrade (tractor/repulser)", but didn't see fit to let us know what that entailed. While I am unsure about this and need the mods to weigh in, I'm pretty sure Miranu repulser/tractor tech can't target missiles. I put extra research into making small tractor beams capalble of locking on to targets as small and fast moving as missiles, and it dosn't seem fair that you get that capalbility for free. My other problem with your tractors/repulsers is how you propel missiles past my PDS. You did it by pushing them close enough, fast enough, that the PDS on the targeted ships couldn't catch them, and you said I didn't anticipate this. Only problem with this is, I did anticipate some missiles being able to get too close for the targeted ship's PDS to destroy them.

Quote

Origionally Posted by Vice Admiral Ipvicus:
With 3 of the 5 Warships taking point on a rotating schedule, the two others and the BattleCarrier used their PDS to catch anything that was too close for the 3 point ships to get in time.

This strategy pretty much nullifies that aspect of your repulser tactics, especially since there is no way to catch an automated defense system (which my PDS is) by suprise. Your tactic isn't a bad one, and it would have worked had I not guarded against it. But I did.
