Re: Favorite Ship Size Poll
And no one mentions the carrier ships... carriers are nice IMO. They are hard to get fully stocked (it takes forever to build enough fighters for a big carrier) but those fighters can really devastate everything (except a PD ship, but...). Anyhow, Carriers arent even in the poll! See how biased this poll is! Bloody murder!

Re: Favorite Ship Size Poll
Somebody mentioned that Light Cruisers are a good size: Since you only have to comit half of the 800KT to fighters, you can have a light cruiser with heavy mounted weapons and fighter escort to boot.

Re: Favorite Ship Size Poll
Well... fighters are pointless after a short while, so carriers can't be too effective.   j/k
This is a poll about warships, not fighters! I don't have transports in here. Would you like to complain about that too?  j/k |

Re: Favorite Ship Size Poll
in early game, yes, I would like to complain about it. An early transport chocked full of sat cargo, can be devastating. I have glassed several AI planets using these. One ship, 9 sats, C-YA wouldn't wanna B-YA. and hmm, sats don't use supplies iirc.

Re: Favorite Ship Size Poll
LOL! I knew someone would! I still stand by my statement that this poll is for WARSHIPS. In fact, I will edit the original post right now! |

Re: Favorite Ship Size Poll
Besides (here we go ), Intent has to play a factor. If i build a small transport and max the sat/cargo for the sole purpose of attacking enemy planets and ships, then it is a warship, as I intend it for that purpose. Aside from whether or not I put an early PDC on it, it is still designed for battle. they also make nice fish hooks. The AI can't resist a transport thinking it will be an easy kill, but supprize is the blue plate special when they have to face 3 stacks of sats carrying seekers.
I don't design them for the main purpose of being a planet satellite/population carrier, altho they work nicely for that too.
Anyone else use designs/combinations like this early game?
