Time to Kill the Shivans Once And For All

Feazanthia has the coordinates of the Shivan system, Yarin. We are already preparing for an attack at the Yarin system. Frankly, I think nova-ing the sun is, well, cowardly. And we aren't cowardly. We're the ESUS! We're the good guys! Anyhoo, I say we make this a battle to remember. I say we send in a few of our best ships and wipe the Shivans out. Without their precious "Shiva", they're doomed. Here's what I'm comitting...so far.

1 Neodammerung Juggernought
3 Citizen Dreadnoughts
7 Neghvar Battleships

Remember there are four worldships here. We're going to need quite a bit of firepower here.

Hmm. I think the worldships would be most effectively handled by some well placed ZPE bombs. Of course... those are WMD ... so that'd probably be regarded as a cheap shot.

Meh.

Well, my plan is this. Start the sun novaing, and then, depending on how lon g the shivans have, we bring in a ton of FLTi equipped ships and abttle it out on a timer. then as the nova gets close, our ships jump out, whilst the shivans get blown to smithies.

or you could be really mean and Jump in a bunch of HST warheads and blow away most of the shivan fleet (well take out atlest the worldships) then we move in and take out the rest

Yeah, but how fun would it be to RP a race against time? i mean, come on, that would be the msot kickass premis there. now, of course, shivans make crappy roleplayers, but it doesnt matter, we can just eradicate them in cruel ESUS kickass style

ya but a small problem with your plan is that FTLi fields take time to A ) get to full power and B ) to drop, i dont think a FTLi just vanishs when you turn it off and since your ship is at the center well you can see where it can go wrong

anyway i would rather have a massive battle (after destroying the worldships)

well yeah, massive battle with contingency plan, if we start loosing, we can keep FTLis around, and then let them die along with the rest of the shivans

then our people cant run away if we nova the sun as the FTLi is up, and if you drop it the shivans will still have there FTLi up, no destroy the worldships and jump in a massive force to deal with shivans, with the worldships lost and most likly other ships (with the right amount of HST warheads) they will be in chaos with basicly no leadership

Hmm...Is there a way to encapsulate the star system in question? To isolate it from everything else, including other dimensions? We could trap the Shivans in a little pocket dimension or something, and just send nukes through until we've killed them all off.
