Can you edit that link a bit, it's stretching the page.

I just realised...I hate huge signatures and I have one myself- DOH!

Almost everything there, damage, weapons, the ****load, were done with a calculator and piece of paper.(/B)
Proved to who? I would like to see the formula or part of one that you used...
Heh... I hope you don't count this as proof ...http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum13/HTML/000267.html

But then again i don't think that even teenagers would be dumb enough for that.If soldiers are willing to die for their cause, why not do it in a suicide bombing? It seems to be the main tactic used by terrorists these days.

(Even the japanese kamikaze pilots targeted mainly aircraft carriers which were the center of the real power in the pacific war)Stilletos are meant to be small ships with very small crew (1 or 2). And your fleet will always take losses and make kills, why not have a somewhat fixed ratio (by making the job of the pilots easier but have a fixed your guys/their guys ratio) for this instead of have the battles turn out randomly (due to difficult operations and varying pilot skill)? Stilletos can get very heavy damage done very fast, severely damaging larger ships. They're cheap, they dump 1200 damage out quickly with their missiles, and they do very heavy damage. Upon suicide.

And with such limited options, i dot think the player would want to pilot a stillito.I would rather trust myself to ram an enemy vessel and successfully deliver missiles than the ai. Besides, there are games out there where the player can guide their missiles (which is essentially what stilletos are after they're out of ammo), and said missiles are always very effective. It'd give the player more variety in what sort of tactics they use when flying various ships than if they entered combat normally.
(EDIT) 3 things:
If I seemed somewhat pissed/arrogant/etc., I apologize. Several things have become bad in the RealWorld recently, and I'm tired, so I'm noticing that I'm behaving in somewhat of a silly fashion each once in a while.
I'll work on stats soonish, I just got home from a week at summer camp and want some time relaxing with the great luxury before working again, if you would call it "work".
And I'll see what I can do about the way the pirate ships look.(/EDIT)

This prob'ly isn't worth responding to...
My calculations will be revealed, I just need to re-do them because my sister deleted all of them when mum idiotically handed her my calculator. How ****ing annoying eh?

Let me ask you this: what profit can I have in lying? You know already that I have a vested interest in calculation. I've already stated on numerous occasions that I used thse calculations to make SETR, and I've already provided ample evidence for it (played SETR?).
Now, if the balancing in SETR was done as a result of fine gameplay acumen, then I might have something better to boast over. Quite frankly, if SETR was held together as a result of mere calculations, less respect to me.

Starting tomorrow, im going to be on vacation for two weeks. Considering how slow this project is going i don't think i'll be missed, but don't wait for me to get back to send me the stuff.
