Ultimate Ship Design

[brettben]

I know there was a similar thread a while back, but what I want to know, if you had access to a) all racial tech areas and b) no maintenance, design your ultimate dreadnought.

i don't thnik there is an ultimate ship design, it all depends on the ships of your oppenent, and each design has at least one weakness, and that is exactly why i think this game is so good.

My guess is that each design posted here, can be defeated by another design of another player.

Q: When he went, had you gone and had she, if she wanted to and were able, for the time being excluding all the restraints on her not to go, gone also, would he have brought you, meaning you and she, with him to the station?

A: Objection. That question should be taken out and shot.

Perhaps if u change the name of this topic to 'Ultimate Fleet design', to counter the fact that any one ship could be beaten if u knew what u were facing.

Lets say 20 ships, any tech. What would u pick as your be all and end all fleet for most situations?

That is the greatest thing about this game, no single design in unbeatable! You must constantly modify your designs based on who/what you are facing.

I'll post some details in a couple of days about the ship designs I chose to fight the base-ship horde in the "face of the enemy" thread. Basically, I had to design a baseships and dreadnaughts to fight an outnumbered endgame against an opponent using no-maintenance to secure weight of numnbers advantage through solid deployment of the most resource/space efficient weapon systems in the game for pure time/damage stats ... ie. massive phased-polaron mounts from baseships.

I took some risks and some knowledge gleaned from these forums and have now programmed the pbem move to engage the enemy - when the next couple of turns are processed I will be able to report how successful (or not) I have been.

Ah, good. I look forward to hearing how that went.


SEIV actually makes quite a good spectator sport doesn't it?

Cool! I was wondering how you made out.
