HA! I'm in 7th. Can I make up characters to pilot/command ships, other than my flagship, in my fleet. Like "Colonel Whatever, do this."?

Your clause may be simpler, but it's very inaccurate and doesn't allow for the setting of any kind of defense at all. When a fleet jumps into a system, by EV physics, it has to stay in for several seconds before it can jump out. There is no working around that point without using crappy cheat plugs, which don't count. For strategical and realistic reasons, fleets passing through systems with an enemy fleet can be given some presents on the way out by the defending fleet. Now, we just have to go figure out how to gift wrap bombs again.

Mercs on the take docs to Sol? Don't make me laugh. I could get by them in a Shuttle, easily. I'm talking about jumping into a system and jumping out immediately when there's a Corvette or Kestrel there. I only do that when I'm in a hurry for some reason though, since in a fair fight I look upon Corvettes as "Oh boy, some pirates want to give me a chunk of cash!" when I'm in my Scout.

If you can fly freely through a system that I'm blockading, then I can't set up any kind of defensive line, to keep you from running around like a headless chicken through my Core Worlds. There has to be some kind of deterrent to that.

See, now you're making all the wrong comments again. I'm violently opposed to cruelty to animals.
Also, if you don't shut up about this free navigation stuff, I'm going to have to start punishing you by having General Rak come lecture you on military technology and why this rule is both necessary and accurate.

Mac, I'm a PIRATE. I pride myself on my highly developed ability to slip through, among and around those ridiculous HC blockades. (Yes. Even with my whole fleet!) It is my livelihood. And the reason I am still around in BFS III is wholly due to this highly developed and effective skill. (Arrgh!)
++++++++++++++++++++
And as for the rest of your silly argument...
(Whispering)
Mac, come close. Yes, even closer. I want to very quietly tell you something.... That's good.
(KK cups his hand around Mac's left ear and says...) "Pth-pth-pth-pth-pth!!!!"

I have a compromise solution. For when a fleet jumps through a system with an enemy fleet there, the first fleet can be shot at by any fighters and gunships of the defending fleet that weren't docked. So if you have 30 fighters available and 20 docked, the 30 fighters would be able to launch whatever missiles/torpedos they may have at the enemy fleet before it jumps back out.

KK is right about pirates and manuverability, so I suggest something like, if your fleet consists of less than like 5(maybe more)capital ships, than you can slip by.
Oh whatever, bah humbug.

But Mac has a good point as well. Don't tell me that just because the Human Confederation is a bigger government, they too can't perform the same operations. Good grief, the United States is a world power, yet they know more about slipping through "the blockades" and finishing the job. Mac ain't stupid...

I know that he isn't stupid, what I suggested above could be done by any fleet. Or maybe it could be something like a fleet commander could set a certain amount of ships on patrol, and then if an enemy fleet jumped in, only ships on patrol could attack.

Skyblade, while you're around - could you post your stats for all the remaining Dreden ships, and then I can post them in the shipyard when Azdara Ace gets graphics done? We need stats for the Battle Gunship and the two ships you were going to do after that (Heavy Cruiser and Carrier, I think?)
Thanks for backing me up on the system skipping. I'm about to aks Rak to come in and lecture them.

"Oppresion. Oppression is a neccesary result of large governments. Large governments force people to become bureaucratic, mindlessly performing tasks and all the same. Witness the old Soviet Union of the Trouble Times on Earth. The Confederacy was one of the worst, oppressing the outer colonies to satisfy the greed and insanity of the Core Worlds. When the Rebellion sprung up we thought they would help us in our quest. Instead, they formed an unholy alliance with the oppressors and began persecuting us, claiming we were lawless pirates. But we proved them wrong." Chieftain spl_cadet in The History of the War of Liberation , published 2275.
KK, if you want to go through blockades, maybe you should do it with interesting tactics, like diversions, or slipping through actual holes in the thing... I mean, there aren't an infinite number of fleets, you should be able to find a way around. Think of it like chess! Or maybe don't... considering Mac.
So who is missing a fleet up here now? And what is Corey's rank?
Edited so that my spelling and wors actually made a convoluted sort of sense when put together... are Luke or Insano playing? AND WHY NOT!?

Sure, think of it like chess, and approach it that way. I really don't mind. ( V points to sig V )

No one that I have all the stats for, last I checked. That was about a minute ago. Corey is going to be a Vice-Admiral once I get his fleet.
spl_cadet - how do you know you proved us wrong? The story hasn't started yet. And you, pal, are on my personal hit list.
