The Extra-Solar Union of Systems Archive

I just don't want to be one of the guys who is like: "0mg dey keeled ppl!1! i declar war on j00!" Then put half my navy in the system. Shivans destroy my frigates, and it's an act of war.


Uhm. How hard hitting is a flux cannon?

In the post I'm writing now...

The Demons aren't exactly easy to kill. Pretty heavily armored and shielded. It takes a pretty big pounding to bring one down completely, and that's usually through finally managing to cause an overload in its power systems that overwhelms safety systems and causes a chain reaction in its reactors that tears the ship apart. Even then, the pieces are pretty cohesive.

One Demon gets between the Lucifer and one of your frigates. Its armor, shields, and hull don't even slow the flux cannon blast down.

Great strategy

Just wondering, whats the size/ mass of these demon-ships? I'm wondering how much damage they'd do if they actually hit the will (It does have a really emense mass after all). I'm wodnering if the acceleration will be eenough to palster some of my cremen onboard.


*is trying to figure out when to leave)

My frigates are small gunboats. Pretty much recon with better range, FTL, and more guns than a scout fighter.

Hopefully these Demons stay somewhat close to the originals.

Aside from the addition of forward torpedo bays, (based on an aborted mod/campaign) which won't be used much, shields, and some minor turret redoing, yes.

hmmm, two killometers, so it's pretty goodly sized. I'm thinking it'll hit the will and have some people get jostled around some. chances are we can use that as an escape excuse.

Are you going to use the Sathanas class?

Yes, but after the Lucifer Fleet gets reinforcements.

Neo Mekanta:
a)Are your ships' sensor suite capable of detecting cloaked ships?
b) How fast can your ships react to an identified hostile assuming that the hostile is cloaked and moving with much haste. (basically the new Aquilla cruiser and company)
