Freeing Invid-occupied Earth (RAR!)

Eh, I at least kept my ships all within the allowed size range.

Ah, but the sensible thing to do in the case of exceeding the size range is to limit the force in other ways. In my example, I bid a 4-kilometer long lighthugger from the Revelation Space 'verse, but only bid one ship in total.

Effectively, should the ship take too much damage, or be destroyed, I will have to break off the attack. OTOH, the graser PD and the ability to destroy a target from lighthours away with hypometric weaponry makes for a huge difference.

Yeah, I was kidding around. I guess I'll need to think of another sci-fi universe that fits the bill. The Lensman universe would handle the problem with ease, but I'd like to find a decent challenge that hasn't already been brought up.
