Diplomacy is the name of this game. The galaxy frowns upon the evil and is so ready for war it will happily gang up on the aggressor.

Um... Shield Penaids? Um NO! That defeats the purpose of a planetary shield completely. Unless they are specific to your types of shielding... ACK

It's a training exercise, so the shield wasn't full strength. The shield penaids are made to penetrate THEATER shields at most. And yes, they are much more effective against gravitic shielding than vanilla shields.

Actually, that STGOD lasted closer to an in game year. The run up between the Black Alice incident was actually a lot closer to six to nine months. There was a fair amount that happened, most insiginficant over all but time consuming.

Ahh, much better, now I don't have to spend two hours scrolling down!

Any comments about my OOB?

Yup, beware that missle swarms don't work so well. It's basically been decided that huge numbers of cheap missle suffer from a corresponding lack of quality.

For example... I can fire tens of thousands of missiles in a single volley... But the guidance is poor and they dont do any evasive maneuvering

they drop like filies, but that is their purpose... Anti-fighter flak burst...

Alright, changed the missile swarms to stronger but many times fewer torpedoes as a complement to the cannons.

Well, it's good I changed it then, since one of my society's basic tenets is excellence in electronic guidance and targetting...

Our nation stresses accuracy of beam weapons and defense of the ship so that the shields and hull dont take damage. The missile swarm is ued to take out other fighter screens, and a 15 mt warhead doesnt need to be especially accurate.

Well, I thought that generally superior electronics equipment (like insanely accurate targeting and powerful jamming) was a decent tradeoff for lighter than average armor and shields and smaller than average ships.

My ships use ion thrust engines and so are slower to accelerate than those of other races(well... at least the capships). The hull is also weak against kinetic impacts like railgun sot, but stronger against beam weapons.

Yeah, it's reasonable though it won't necessarily consitute an overwhelming advantage. I would imagine a first strike would be dangerous as hell and a missle duel unpleasant.

A first strike ON me or BY me?
