And in any case, the battle's barely under away. I don't build my ships to be explodey for at least a page and a half
Though I'm afraid I haven't made it clear in the thread that, while their durability is exception, Skeelzanian gunnery actually leaves a lot to be desired. It'd make more sense to develop sensors and targeting computers that could hit the broadside of a barn, but I liked the stylistic image of making guns that could blaze away in every direction into perpetuity better.

haha I figure I can do like they do in star trek... run away from the fight, reconfigure their weapons and use the deflector dish to fire a destructo-beam, and then pop into battle after all the pawns have been pwned, and then show off the too-late cannon for a bit of revenge.
I was going to just suck the nanites into the engines, which would rip them apart at the molecular level and use them as fuel for the ion drives... but then, that would require me wanking an intake extension... and some could manage to live and cling to the insides of the engine, and well that just wouldn't be nice.
DESTROY US ALL!!! DESTROY US ALL!!! DESTROY US ALL!!!
Nanites, yeah. I need to address those in my next post.. Nasty little things. Im afraid that that wont be coming until later this night, though. Too much homework right now.

As per my request in the IC thread, halt posting momentarily. Everyone do keep in mind that we have an overall plotline planned out, and that the strength of one nation alone will not avail anyone any good. The signal to move forward will be when the Republic Sector Fleet closes on the Departed (Imperiatus) fleet. Also, please give Telros/Terran Imperium a chance to get in a word edgewise.

The big blue thing is NC. And yes, the box size can be said to be generally relative to actual strength. The point is, the Departed have enough force to flank our entire fleet easily. However, the RSF is going to change their plans.

Aw jeebus, I didn't realize they had a force cable of enveloping our flanks. Still, the Skeelzanians are gunning for whatever appears to be the Imperitus flagship. I suspect my battlecruisers are going to have a devil of a time off on the far right, though.

If any are confused by my post, I am attacking the center mass, just the left portion of it.
Pyramid Facehugger would be fucking brutal. I don't know if I'll ever get to sleep with the thought of that genocidal rape behemoth rampaging through the large-eyed schoolgirls swimming in a sea of biceps that populate my subconscious.
Okay... now I'm seriously confused. I posted my ships arriving just before the firefight and makeshift FTLi began, right? I'm not just seeing those posts only on my computer?
I kinda need to know if I should continue attempting to post or not. Overall, I'm feeling kinda ignored/stupid about this whole thing.
Well there wasn't exactly time to roll out the welcome wagon. We'll do ceremonies after the siege.
