Well so far it just has 34 nuke volleys and 38 energy shields which I guess is rather low, but damnit, SOON it shall be a force to fear! Escorted by my 700 NID troops in F-302's of course...
Well, it really depends on what he's using it for. If he's using it as a way to nullify other motherships, having a low cannon to shield ratio is the way to go. I've outfitted the Impending Doom with a 1:1 ratio so it can be used offensively and defensively.Ender wrote:34:38?
Personally, I've gone with at 1.5:1 ratio on my mothership, right now its 75:50 and I've left it, instead pouring my moolah into UP
Are you sure? My numbers are a lot more skewed than yours and I still outrank you (though at the rate you're going, that's probably not going to last):fuzzymillipede wrote:Ranks are weird that way. Something do do with the ratio of UU/miners to soldiers I think.
I have:
122,880,000 Strike Action
261,888,000 Defensive Action
47,000 miners
It's because of the skew between those numbers, if they were more equalized, I think I would have more rank.
He's bought UU off of the black market I do believe.Matt Huang wrote:I've gotta wonder, where did you get an army size of ~60k, when your unit production is now 2.4k, and to my knowledge, you haven't been playing for significantly longer than the rest of us.

Instead of using the ingame market, you're trading between two users. It's dangerous, and easy to get scammed, but it's usually better deals.Noble Ire wrote:Hum...Naquitis wrote:He's bought UU off of the black market I do believe.Matt Huang wrote:I've gotta wonder, where did you get an army size of ~60k, when your unit production is now 2.4k, and to my knowledge, you haven't been playing for significantly longer than the rest of us.
Black Market?

I've been had. For the first time, I've encountered a hologram.Battle Report
As with all battles, this one has been recorded for the official history of your realm. You, of course, are the first to know the results as they are reported directly to you first. This is the official report of the battle:
The army of Braedley raided the realm of Porkypine!
Braedley sent:
1,082 Attack Clone and 805 Attack Drone
Careful and thourough observation records that the troops were armed as follows:
1,082 Attack Clone have DNA Targeted Multispectrum Disintegration Weapon
805 Attack Drone have DNA Targeted Multispectrum Disintegration Weapon
Opposite this, stood the forces of Porkypine
Porkypine resisted the aggressors with:
74 Defense Clone and 24 Defense Drone
Careful and thourough observation records that the army carried the following arsenal:
0 Defense Clone have
74 Defense Clone came unarmed!
24 Defense Drone came unarmed!
In a fury, the two opposing forces clash!
Braedley, personally commanding Mjollnir, their MotherShip, initiates the battle.
Mjollnir hovers above the battle!
Braedley's Mjollnir adds 73,286,796 additional attack onto their ground troops!
The forces of Braedley rush in full force, and inflict 146,573,592 damage on Porkypine's forces!
It was confirmed that 0 of Porkypine's forces fell at the hands of Braedley's assult.
The forces of Porkypine fought back with all they could, and managed to inflict 3 damage on Braedley's forces!
They managed to eradicate 0 of Braedley's troops.
Putting down the chronicled battle report, you cross reference and call for the corrosponding military armory reports to see the state of your weapons after such a battle...
Your DNA Targeted Multispectrum Disintegration Weapon went from strength 2,000 to 1,865 (now 1865/2000 and 7 percent damaged)
You make a mental note to have these repaired, as you know damaged weapons are not only less powerful, but if damaged enough, must be destroyed.
The forces of Braedley burninated those of Porkypine
The forces of Porkypine flee from the battlefield! One could see glory on the face of the victors, and spite on the defeated!
The forces of Braedley were free to take what they could conquer!
Considering the distance to travel, the enthusiasm of the troops for this battle, and the degree to which they were comfortable in their victory,and 0 General Drone ware taken from the realm of Porkypine.
From now on, these are know as the General Drone of Braedley!
Many wonder if Porkypine will consider retaliation, but - when force meets force - there will have to be some changes in the preparedness of Porkypine before such a feat should wisely be considered!
Your attacking efforts seem not to have an effect... no effect at all save a slight shimmering of the scene in front of you. IT IS A HOLOGRAM!! Your efforts are wasted, your ammunition spent. You curse your wasted efforts.
While that was addressed to fuzzymillipede, that just might be a possible alternative solution for me rather than going on vacation mode in a few days as I had planned. My income will drop to 278k/turn, meaning that it will take four days to build up to a tempting level. Untraining 2k slaves should take care of the rest (giving me the fifth day of margin that I need, accounting for the 4k population that I'll have amassed). I only have to worry about being sabbed and/or UU raids at that point, but the low naq and level 17 effective covert should make me look unappetizing, I hope. Does this sound feasible?Naquitis wrote:You could just go on critical when you sleep.
Being on critical will also make you have the effect of having spy 18, and I doubt anyone will sab you. Sabbing is usually deticated to war and war alone.Datana wrote:While that was addressed to fuzzymillipede, that just might be a possible alternative solution for me rather than going on vacation mode in a few days as I had planned.
