(Sheepishly -- but just barely...) Okay, I admit I made a mistake -- I was wrong. I keep getting Skyblade mixed up with the HC. He WAS their President in II. "If" you even care, just replace "HC" with "Dreden" regarding the super ship disagreement.
(Something tells me Skyblade enjoyed my confusion. I'll have to come up with some extra-specially devious way to retaliate ... later. ;))
Since Mac has already ruled this may be "moot" but to sum up my argument it was ... "Both of the last two Dreden super-ships are overkill; the Titan just barely; Skyblade's Big Momma in nearly every category." Since Mac has ruled I'll not discuss the issue anymore.
(I do find it interesting to note Skyblade's (i)delusion of grandeur(/i) that has him persistently comparing himself with George Lucas. Hmm....)
Maybe by the middle of III KK will be able to remember just WHO is on the side of the HC. "Maybe...."
Mac, it must be my own mental condition, but I cannot even find my fleet stats in this thread. Did you change our shipyard pricing? Or did I not do my arithmetic correctly?
<edit> Okay I just found my original fleet post. I got the number of ships correct, but did not calculate the sub-totals of the Corvettes and Gunstars correctly with that first post. Here are the corrected figures ... I think.</edit>
4 . . Drakes (@15MM ea) . . . . = 60MM
100 . "Vettes (@ 2MM ea) . . = 200MM
90 . .Gunstars (@ 2.2MM ea) . = 198MM
142 . . Lancers (@ 1MM ea) . . =142MM
. . . . . . . Total . . . . . . . . . = 600MM "on the nose" ...????
