Not to mention that from what I remember of fletchers they aren't too different from pulsers.

Most would consider the flight decks to be fairly vunerable to repeated strikes against their doors, especially since apparently our KE weapons can smash down several miles to wipe out Overseer facilities without infantry use.Rogue 9 wrote:Right. You have a choice of two targets: One, a heavily damaged battleship with a hole rammed into its side that's doing its damnedest to get away from you, but is still pretty close. Two, a supercarrier that hasn't been significantly hit at all and is way the hell away from you. You'll be destroyed within minutes. Which one do you go for if you want to kill one before you die? I didn't think that was all that hard...
Right, they propel explosive needles into the target at high velocities, they are usually "smart' weapons, where the needle can be set to penetrate a certain thickness of armor before detonating.Not to mention that from what I remember of fletchers they aren't too different from pulsers.

My ships use very slow warp drives as secondary FTL system.2: As far as I know, no one is selling shuttle warp drives. If they were there would be alot more FTL missles out there.
Who's using warp drives? I thought everyone was using Hyper or Wormhole or even Jump drives?
And I think that the Ravenlock used them too.frigidmagi wrote:Okay then answers my question.
Who the hell has done that? You're the only one who's done anything even close; every single assault on an Overseer facility thus far has involved a very bloody and long-lasting infantry action.SirNitram wrote:Most would consider the flight decks to be fairly vunerable to repeated strikes against their doors, especially since apparently our KE weapons can smash down several miles to wipe out Overseer facilities without infantry use.Rogue 9 wrote:Right.

Never asked for a battleship to explode. I just feel like driving home the foolishness of a carrier with bays large enough to drive destroyers into being present when someone's lobbing railguns.Rogue 9 wrote:And if it makes you feel better, the Gladius and Dauntless are both going into drydock for a few months at least. A lot of the surviving ships aren't going to be in shape to run combat ops for a long time, but I'm not going to have a battleship self-destruct out of a sense of fairness if you don't take the kills you can get. War doesn't work like that.
Ah, hell, I know that. But that is what Marcao hired me for, and so that is what Im doing. Read his post. His plan isn't to incriminate you, it is to make the Kalderi afraid so he can offer them protection and gain another ally. You are such a dominating force right now that the mere hint that it could be you will have the Kalderi running for cover!Thirdfain wrote:Bugsby, Fletchers are common weapons in Known Space, with dozens of makes and models being produced by a number of Floater cluster.

Aye, he be a clever one, indeed- too clever by half. Hrmm hrmm...Ah, hell, I know that. But that is what Marcao hired me for, and so that is what Im doing. Read his post.

Space is no longer an issue, large archologies have now been in place for several weeks, and every transport available has been shuttling people and goods/equipment into the city sized mega towers day and night.Thirdfain wrote: Earth: 1/2 3rd War Cluster (on humanitarian duty, the Fleet Tender is providing relief and space for monacoran civilians.)
Yes, although standard puslers don't have the explosive option, those are a specific type of ammo.Thirdfain wrote:Right, they propel explosive needles into the target at high velocities, they are usually "smart' weapons, where the needle can be set to penetrate a certain thickness of armor before detonating.Not to mention that from what I remember of fletchers they aren't too different from pulsers.

Though I hope not the big cap-ships as per our agreement?Thirdfain wrote:Jormungandr/Hudson space: 1st War Cluster
