Not quite true. A ship of my Halcyon class can match a Psychopath and Alyrium's Dominator outpowers one outright. On the other hand, I only have two Halcyons and the Dominator is unique, so that really doesn't get us much of anywhere.Marcao wrote:Individually, this ship would not be able to defeat a Psychopath.

Good of you guys to mention this for the very first time several hours after I posted an attack on them. Posts rescinded, then. If the Fenari were that hard a target the Kzin simply would have moved in support of the UTR operations.Thirdfain wrote:Pablo, I've been stopped from posting the Fenari movements, because I've spent all day writing up the Fenris Agreement OOB. I was talking to Marcao, my intention was to have their forces launch in support of the Gorn Federation soon after their decleration of support.
Additionally, mod agreement puts the Fenari fleet at a full Minor power's contingent, and their centrally located status and possession of a strategic node means they'll field both significant fixed defenses and a modern wall of battle.
No, it's not a problem, I was just being funny. I moved too fast (RPing, that's how the Kzin work) and things get muddled. I forget--who's moderating this game? I thought it was Marcao and me.Thirdfain wrote:Sorry, I figured I had time to finish an OOB and the like. It would have been posted by tonight: I've completed the OOB and have submitted it to Marcao for examination. but he hasn't been online yet.

The number of guns doesn't matter. What matters is the points invested in the ship. If you increase it to six capital points, it will beat a Psychopath. Doesn't matter how you describe that increase in power in the fluff description, although it's nice for it to make sense.
Ah, soft-cap? I'm unaware of this and it may interference with plans. Enlighten, please?InnocentBystander wrote:Not by much, since, as I recall, the soft-cap on ship points starts at 6.Rogue 9 wrote:Cabwi Desco wrote:I also imagine if, and this is a BIG if, I got the Triumph's near 1000 guns and shields up to galaxy wide specs for power ratings it could get above the psycho... of course that would run its Point Cost up to at least 15

I know i was just freeballing, and my ship always had near 1000. i was figuring to get ALL the DHTLs and QHTLs and HICs and HPTs and ACMs up super strong it would run 10-15 pointsRogue 9 wrote:Cabwi Desco wrote:I also imagine if, and this is a BIG if, I got the Triumph's near 1000 guns and shields up to galaxy wide specs for power ratings it could get above the psycho... of course that would run its Point Cost up to at least 15

Nope. It can increase, when you build.are we only allowed to have TOTAL 15/30/250 if minor? does that ever change In-Game?
You can slice up and glue together the points however you want. You want a dreadnought worth five capship points? Fine. The deal is, however, there are diminishing returns as get farther from the "one point = one ship" ideal. Keep dividing each point into more and more ships, and you'll end up with a shitload of ships that are too weak too accomplish anything. Sink too many points into a single vessel, and it's so overloaded and clumsy that your enemy can smash it more easily than if you had kept it divided up.Cabwi Desco wrote:but can i have more than 30 medium class ships if theyre all worth one point?

Here Rogue 9 says that in order to beat a 5 point capital ship, you will need a 6 point capital ship.Rogue 9 wrote:If you increase it to six capital points, it will beat a Psychopath.
Here is me telling Rogue 9 that even though a 6 point Capital ship is better than a 5 point Capital ship, it won't be significantly more powerful because, as I recall, the "soft-cap" is 5 points, after which your ship suffers from decreased returns (thus discouraging players from making a single 15 point warship, or the like).InnocentBystander wrote:Not by much, since, as I recall, the soft-cap on ship points starts at 6.
