Of course you do realise that being able to ICly justify something doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't still godmodding, right?

But are you talking about a nation which would use good quality ships?

Fighters are entirely different though. China, today has about 4K fighters... so... that's not too crucial.

I do remember, though... when I first came on NS. Hell, even just a few months ago having fleets with double-digit thousands was beyond acceptance.

Then some n00b named Unified Sith came along...

Oh, normal-ish numbers are always used in individual RPs. Exception One: GZ. I'm stomping him mercilessly.

The numbers are just an IC reason why Minagoroshi's fleets can be in hundreds of different places at once.

Exception Two: You'll see... You'll all see... Gwahahahahahah!!!

US/IB isn't so bad in what he did... He was bad in how he did it. I'm going to prove that this kind of war isn't just possible without OOC-ish Wank (as opposed to Minagoroshi's IC based wank) it can be damn good.

I don't include fighters in fleet total - I verily make funny noises in derision at the idea. That'd be like counting F-14s when one is tallying up the number of ships in the Navy.

I concur. That's why I never ever calculated how many fighters I have total. I just assume that I have enough for every capital ship, garrison, and space-station. Unless specific circumstances dictate that a certain capital ship would have less (ie, being stranded in the middle of nowhere, or being part of an export order.)

As it stands, he is a huge wanker.

I'll second that.

I wouldn't think rational people would count fighters in their total of ships. But alas... some do. Which is one reason they're always ending up with uber-numbers of ships.

Well am I supposed to say that my entire military fleet is composed of two ships?

Two ships and several hundred/thousand/million fighters.

i mean, thats basically my military, a total of 40 capships ranging from 400m-1.4k, and my single mothership, the PoK at 21km. now, if i counted my fighters, i'de have soemthing like 2,000,040 ships. i got alot of fighters, and i even have backups (10% of my populations = Elcerophants. Elcerophant + Medeium quantity of energy = Elcerophant fighter)
