Hate to burst your bubble but unless Mac forgot to update the rules, you can't start off with a Battlecarrier. It costs $320 million and the only exception to the $200 million rule is the Macross.

Hmmm... You seemed to have forgotten an entire page worth of posts concerning the Battlecarrier matter. Mac made it clear that it would be fine to start with only one. It's basically the same rule with applies to your Mcgross, I mean Macross.

I'll update my flagship later, but for me, after I get home from school, I'm declaring this day a "BFSIII only day." Hopefully, I'll finish all of my weapons today, getting us a whole step closer to starting this. Actually, I have some time, I'll update right now. Here's my updated flagship, the Red Intruder :

Shields: 5,000 to 8,000
Armour: 5,000 to 6,000
Speed: 200 to 300
Acceleration: •• to •••
Turning: •••(same)
Fuel: 10 jumps to 18 jumps
50 plasma turrets to 100 plasma turrets
10 Turreted Plasma Torpedo Launchers to 16 Turreted Plasma Torpedo Launchers
100 Turreted Plasma Torpedoes to 200 Turreted Plasma Torpedoes
20 Heavy Fighters to 30 Heavy Fighters
20 Interceptors to 40 Interceptors

K, hope that's not too much. Tell me if I missed anything.

P.S. Skyblade, we need UE Crusader to start in Velburt probably, so that we can have a complete line of attack. Heres a sample of my code:

That is, if UE Crusader returns. He hasn't posted here in a few months. :frown:

Strange code. You'll have to explain it to me soon.

So that you can be in command of a ship that has a much smaller likelyhood of being destroyed, and to make you fleet more powerful.

Actually, we are assuming that we would all eject in space pods if we really got beaten. I'd run if I was losing badly. Of course, the Dreden still have the chance of being recovered and sent to an Alien torture facility, and that goes for all your little HC homies too. WE have done away with escpae pods 500 years ago. "Teleportation device" might be a clue there. Get with the times, Rak...

BTW, Mac, we need a "price limit" on these things. Prevent people from going super high. As for the upgrades (litteraly, like, as in, the little "wrenchs" in EV) should be charged at the same rate in the original game. I will hold of posting my fleet untill mac gives us a celing on the price.

RC! YOU FINALLY SHOWED UP! arrange a Battle.net date, and fast! If you don;t have a code, then we can use mine. I won't have time tonight, but tommorrow would be good. Friday best, if mac doesn't start by then. Just please, we need that language!

Guys... the flagship updates were supposed to be informal. Look at how I did mine. More ammo, a few more turrets, HALO batteries, and slightly better shields (slightly, KK, we are not tripling our flagships shields, or even doubling...). That's it, that's all I'm saying.

It would be a lot easier to simply not have upgradable flagships.
Anyway, better speed an manueverability. And more turrets and missiles.

In BfS I, he could command as many fleets as he liked.

Alright.
Carno, it is in the best interests of this webstory that upgraded ships not be allowed. First off, this requires people to remember stuff that they wouldn't have to normally. Second, this fractures from reality. In reality you don't have the resources to make the flagships custom. Third, it won't do you much good. Flagships tend to be targets. And when you have a whole fleet bearing down on that one target, it tends to explode rather quickly. Fourth, a flagship is really only symbolic in this game. It is merely another ship with the distinction that it has a name. And that I like to target them.

BfS 1 looked a lot more fun than BfS 3 is gonna be, what with all these rules. Just wing it!

Good, I should be able to get some useful advantages that way when I come blow your fleet out of the sky... Thanks for sharing.

Luke - If you don't have something useful to add to this, please get lost.

That would include me.

MY FLAGSHIP
Rune , a Drake-class Heavy Frigate
More speed, more shields/armor, more fuel, more turrets, remove heavy rockets, add lots more LRBMs and Guided Propulsion Mines

It's not numbers. Just guess how much mass the rockets were (100, if you want to know) and add a bunch more LRBMs/GPMs.
