Um... just like a Lance Railgun will vape a kamakazi fighter, so will a 128 Megaton beam laser.

I know. Ever fighter that got hit was a one-hit-kill. But I have 15,000 of these little buggers, and you've killed about 5,000 of them so far.

And now for my token political offer to try and cut down on the widespread destruction. Won't be taken, but one has to try.

Yeah, but then the beam laser goes through them, as it is a continuous beam, and hits the ships shields, without wasting a whole lot of energy.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander

Regardless, you are using direct fire arrmament at long range. Your shooting will be quite poor, and I not YOU haven't taken any casualties.

No shit. My counter-offer: The Unification can get the hell out of our territory and can drop this transparent excuse for their unjust and unprovoked war in defense of the Ouster genocide against the White Suns. I'm not even going to answer that.

Edit: In addition, such an offer will strongly suggest to us that you're in this to get our territory and end the existence of our nation. As such, you have just caused us to never accept any surrender terms from you for fear of you using our surrender to effect conquest.

The amount of energy it takes to vape a fighter is significant, no matter how strong. But I will take that into consideration, and in my next post I will call heavier damage on the Lances. They aren't in range yet, so it looks like you will avoid my cruiser strikes. Good job!

That being said, I cant wait to hear what you have lost so far.

I am just saying that he is stating that the wrong ships are being distressed.... that is all.

That's true, mostly. Although you don't really understand what I'm doing with the fighters. They are litterally a screen, tightly packed and circling around the Lances to take hits for them. This also makes the Lance signature harder to lock onto. And yes, my fighters can manage that, seeing as how they are robot drones with this particular move specially designed and perfected.

Um, I'm not too terribly sure I like the concept behind this move. Your fighters are weak against fighter-scale weaponry. Any escort, cruiser, or capital scale shots that hit them would tear through with nearly no resistance whatsoever. Also, predicting where enemy direct-fire shots are coming in seems a little...well, off to me. As for the signal bit, I think it may be marginally effective, but remember, the more ships in the general area, the more of a signal there would be. The fighters don't have anywhere near the sensor footprint of a cruiser (unless, perhaps, they all linked up to for a voltron-esque shield) and thus all one would have to do is aim for the largest signature in the group, which would be the cruiser.

Unless all of your fighters have insanely good EW suites, in which case they're even more pathetic in actual combat than previously described.

How about this? We divvy up your nation like Victorian China, and Elanie gets President Major as the new court jester in the soon-to-be-announced Realm of the Annophelial Queen?

The Unification started the war? I seem to remember the first declarations of war being from the Alliance. Seems to me it's obvious who escalated this.

We declared war on the Ousters, not the Unification, for the reason of the Ousters attempting genocide against an Alliance member. So yes, it is obvious. The Unification jumped in with a casus belli that cannot be true because they're vulturing opportunists. So the Unification escalated this war. Now shove it up your ass.

Oh, come now. Everyone escalated. It started out as 1 on 1, then the Alliance got into it, then the Unification. Nothing is going up anyone's ass.

Depends how you look at it. I declared war on the White Suns for their little act of genocide. You guys escalated by moving to their defense.

That's is moronic Nitram, the declarations were at the Hajr, not the Unification. The Unification invaded the Alliance, not the other way around.

You want to fight and use transpart excuses, that is your right, but leave the bullshit in the IC thread please.

Wrong, we moved to help the Ousters after you declared war on by passing through my teritory. We're merely counter-invading.

Oh, grow up and stop acting like a spoiled child. You attacked someone with diplomatic ties to other groups en masse and didn't think there'd be consequences? Don't be a retard.

The Hajr is a de facto member of the Unification. Of course, it's not on paper as with the rest of it, but the whole thing's a pretty informal affair in any case.

I helped the Monacorans, they are helping me. What's not to approve? You monsters are supporting known commiters of genocide. If the Unification lets that go through, what willl you powermongers do next?

Wrong. That fleet you're babbling about simply doesn't exist, as an examination of public records and independent freighters' sensor logs would tell you.

Well if they're commiting FUCKING GENOCIDE, yes!

What's that? These records indicate a large portion of your fleet was out of port, with large ammounts of supplie and like. They could have been anywhere. Elysium? Veitha? Monacora?

No, Space is a huge place, our destroyer happened to be where there were no other ships at that time, and we saw you pass through, and then move in a hostile manner against us, forcing my destroyer to retreat. Just as our Destroyer's logs will show you.

Except everybody knows that they were halfway to Elysium. They couldn't have been in Monacora and then gotten to Elysium in less than a day. All our ships are accounted for and you know it.

Genocide? It was a legitimate counterblow to an attack on our home soil! I seem to recall you happily slaughtering the Overseer. Apparantly, revenge is cool when it's little Ouster kids who die, but when it's human children, well, that's no good!

Racist bastard.

Leave the lies IC, okay? All our ships are accounted for. We are prepared to prove this. If the Veithan and Ravenlock diplomats would talk to my ambassadors, I'd be proving this.
