um. the asclepius is unmanned. wait, do you mean your entire fleet is out of weapons? that happened to me last battle i did. The standard procedure is to wish you had brought more. Seriously though, that means i win. It also means its time to bring in the heavyweights!

 

[SG Aero]

Well. That ruins it. Let's just pretend bill stowed away in the sas. Also yes my entire surviving fleet is out of weapons. The other half didn't get to fire.

[MiffedStarfish]

@ShadowGoat Ah. you can edit in your carrier and battleship now, also if you want you can send me the ghoul and spectre craft files so i can give feedback

[SG Aero]

K. Give me some time, as I'm busy rn. Also can I have first turn with my new ships?

Edited April 7, 2017 by ShadowGoat

[MiffedStarfish]

Sure, yeah but after i edit in my new ships.

[SG Aero]

K cool. Get the persist up quick plz.

@Spartwo there's a hole in your rules. You didnt outlaw the object thrower. Someone could use it in a battle. It would be a dirtbag move but it would be legal.

@MiffedStarfishExcuse me sir, but you appear to have brought in 3 ships, not two.

[SG Aero]

Rolan and Trillian Kerman (Again with the Hitchhikers references!) were out for revenge after the destruction of their original ship. They engaged the Oceanus first. The result: Complete desecation of the hull, and destroying all command pods. They took the liberty of removing the engines for you, as you wouldn't need them where you're going. Then the launched two guided torpedos down the hangar. The first one removed the fighters. The second emptied the hull. Your move.

The Shade lining up the shot.

The desecated corpse of the Oceanus.

The debris field spreading out behind the Shade.

Here's the persist. I told you the Shade was a worthy opponent.

Oh well, the Oceanus was never meant for battling, I built it for a cinematic my friends are both working on. I brought in the Eos as to even the tonnage a bit, as your ships totalled to 600 tons and mine to barely 300. I will take my turn as soon as I can. Just to be clear though, the battle ended last turn, this is just us mucking about with a lot of metal plates and a save file to put them in. 

Oh by the way, the first two parts of Duna Raiders are up. I won't tell you the results but they were mostly favourable.

7- Carriers can not have their own offensive weapons.

umm. @ShadowGoat I just had a look at the shade, and it has fighters... and carrier cant have their own weapons.

@ShadowGoat Goodbye Shade.

G4H torpedo 1:

G4H Torpedo 2:

You should have turned the 2 incoming missiles into a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias...

Thats a complete all segments kill, as the main segment is destroyed.

Persistent: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wtvile8w3lqpgjl/Persistent.sfs?dl=0

(before you get your hopes up, the intact looking segment called ShadeG1 has no engines, weapons, power or tea.)

Well at this point if we're just mucking around It doesn't matter if I still use the surviving side section. Also I forgot about the probes. I'll just replace them with some guided missiles or something. Not like the probes were all that useful. Ah well. Also it's not logical that your small ship is allowed to split but my big one isn't. If even one section can full fill two, or even 3 of the things required to be deemed functional, then I should be allowed to use it as the side section has no damage whatsoever. Also the second torpedo section survived and if floating out in space, ands it's still viable as it can fire weapons and generate power. Also the side missing the front section can now use its probes as it no longer has any offensive weaponry. I can now use all three of these section in one turn. Have fun!

If it's an inconvenience opt to ignore it. These are just the guidelines which give the most balanced and fair play. If it had it's own weapons they'd be too heavy to allow it to go first and then the traditional light weapon fighter carrier would be useless in a combat environment.

Oh hey spartwo. Is it legal if my ship split into two fully functional sections and I use both sections even though the main one was destroyed?

[Spartwo]

If they're both fully functional and neither have the original name(Called >thing<ship/probe/rover) pick one to designate as the main section and try to salvage from the other. We've had issues with Hydra ships in the past, sometimes even built to break apart easily.

[SG Aero]

K thanks this helps a lot, as I have an easily splitting ship that frequently splits into two functional segments and I have been told I can't use either. Also you don't outlaw the object thrower in your rules.

[Spartwo]

That's because you have to click a button called 'cheat'

 

It's fairly self explanatory.

Ok here's my turn. The remaining half of the shade engages the hyperion. I unloads all it's missiles, and all its probes, then runs out of power as the probes generated the power the kept the craft running.

It resulted in minor damage to the hyperion.

Here's the persist.

@ShadowGoat @Spartwo Another loophole I thought of is that ships, if they have parachutes, could land and make targeting them impossible while being still alive. You are only using the one segment which is now inoperable, right? Now it is out of power are we classing the shade as dead, or are you going to cycle through the surviving sections? I'd prefer if we classed it as dead and apply the same rules to the Eos. I'll have my turn up in a bit. (Also, does anyone have any thoughts on duna raiders? It's my first story, so id appreciate feedback)

Edited April 8, 2017 by MiffedStarfish

[SG Aero]

Yeah plus you emptied all the other section of rtgs  somehow and now the shade is officially dead. Also could you give me armor tips, as my armor seems insufficient?

Edited April 8, 2017 by ShadowGoat

[MiffedStarfish]

R.I.P.

Did you edit in your carrier, because i cant find it. Or are you using sneaky stealth tactics?

Also oddly, all the apollos missiles have fallen off without me firing them. they are all within load range of me, so woudl you mind if i reloaded them?

Edited April 8, 2017 by MiffedStarfish

[SG Aero]

Stealth...? I don't know why you can't find it but it works for me! especially if I can just strike you with the fighters and you won't be able to strike back. I swear if I win just because of the stealth carrier. You know there should be special battle condition where you can't use the map, so stealth would actually be a viable strategy. Oh btw even if you did land on the planet one of my ships is atmosphere capable so it wouldn't help much.

Never mind, i just cut it in half with the eos's I-Beams.
