If ships have free guns, they'll chuck some firepower at oncoming missiles. This is why I like to keep a few Lancers around even in ISD battles.

I recall one of my ISD II shot down some torpedoes as well, I don't think that it's just the ISD Is that can.

And targetting guns? I never saw the point when wielding 30 ISD. Sure, I could precision target their guns, or just concentrate firepower and blow a half- dozen MonCals out of the sky before my lead destroyer loses shields. I'm sure it's a valid idea when in limted combat, but that's never been my thing.

I love seeing small Scum ships sculling around in the middle of the main ISD-MC event. I think that some of the ISDs either target them with Ions or they just get pummelled in crossfire, as I've seen loads just drifting, disabled while my ISDs have been concentrating on the big boys. =/ Still, the one lesson I've come away from this with is: Crossfire is bad for small ships.
Hence why my ISDs in my screenies are pretty much inside the enemy formation. There's crossfire, but much less so my Carracks and Enforcers survive much longer. ^^

For me, when I just like to have some fun? To restrict everyone to just building nothing bigger then a frigate

Theres just something about seeing vast Swarms of Carracks, Neb-B's, Bayonet(sp)'s and of course lots and lots of Lancers, All swamering around in small clouds of starships.

When you can't even build Heavy Frigates, no Dreadnaughts, MC-40's, Eidions, etc. You get some really interesting games

Oh hey there!

I don’t mean to go about doing Necromancy on a Thread, but I’m going to a friend’s house tomorrow who will have the Current version of the WarLords Mod on his two PC’s.

As good as I am playing, I have only played the original Patch as that is all that was realised to the MAC computers. Can someone offer me some quick tips about changes to the games, what Imperial ships are good or have been changed from the first patch, or other hints that can help me before I go to duel?
