You won't get the chance. Besides, who says I follow the same strategy for everyone?

More sheilds, more turning, more accel, more proton bolts, more torps, more armor, and that's good, I guess.

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.

Don't care. 
I still want my flagship to be updated.

Carno, one last reason you don't want flagships to be upgradable. Because then I can upgrade my Macross. And you don't want that to happen.

Yes, but there are two reasons he doesn't need to care:
A) He's fighting Aliens on the other side of the universe;
Your Macross will not live long. Don't bother posturing on this any more, just wait for the story. Tactics will tell who is right.

1. He'll need to defend Sol won't he?
2. Tactics will determine that I am correct. Frankly, you can't beat my Macross and you know it.
3. When the hell are we going to start?

Damn, it appears both of us feel we need to get in the last word. This could lead to problems. Actually spl_cadet, I bet I'm prepared for more situations involving the destruction of your Macross than you have situations in general. i have a whole library of methods, depending on how you deploy yor fleet, etc... You forget, I've analyzed every ship in the game thoroughly while pricing them. I know your weaknesses - and how to exploit them - very well.

Once a couple more Aliens show up. Believe me, I want to go too.

I don't really care. Besides, I'm a lot more careful about how i upgrade my flagship. And it's called upgrading, not total customization. It's totally plausible and does not break from reality.

I thought he was Human Confederation as well. Perhaps Mac was simply referring to Carno's HC fleet fighting the Aliens in Sentarus...

There's nothing really to update you on. The last few pages of posts have been directed at fixing a few rules and such. If you're in doubt about the rules, go to the BFS III website (which you can find in Macavenger's sig) and head for the rules section.
Basically, we just need to know if you're still in. If you are, all I need you to do is pick out the ships for your fleet. You are permitted to choose up to 600,000,000 credits worth of vessels. For ship prices, go to the Dreden Rebellion shipyard at the BFS III website.
Glad to see you're still out there. 
Once you pick your fleet, I'll take care of the rest.

I'm gonna whoop those dang Hermit Crabs in the Sentarus galaxy for the HC. So, yes, I am HC, not Dreden. I like Dreden, hate Hermit Crabs (aliens), and I am the HC. Clear enough?

Sorry, bummed out. I am thin, tall, have dark brown hair, brown eyes, and pretty much look like Mark James. Oh, and just in case, I hope you're taller than 5' 11", because otherwise, I'm going to go over to your house and beat you up! Just kidding, of course.
