    • Massive Fleets: Audemedon vs. Salrilians


      First of all, this is about one of my net games with my brother. I was being the Salrilians, and he the Audemedons, and so we both built up these two HUGE fleets! I mean big!! There must have been at least 35 ships, at the minimum!!! And so we set out and had our two fleets engage each other. The battle was huge, and my Salrilian ships were creamed! I always thought the Salrilians could beat up the Audemedons if they had enough ships, and I definitely had more ships than he did! It was so big a battle, the game screwed up, and then I ended up being torpedoes, different ships, and then finally an Audemedon trooper that had been launched by one of my brothers Assault Transports!! It was really messed up, but the battle was fun! I wonder if any of you have had similar experiences with super huge fleets, and also if the problem I just mentioned has ever happened to you guys.

    • Heh. Only 35?

      Yes, I've had that problem.

      Also- It's Escape Velocity: Nova.

    • Well, maybe there was more, probably around 45 ships actually (and that is NOT counting fighters).
