<t> I would suggest there is a hole in capital ship grade weaponry. A large weapon system you could only fit a small amount on a large ship that does massive damage. A true ship buster.<br/>
<br/>
Also if you desire smaller ships to be desirable you need a dogdeable high damage weapon smaller ...

And don't forget the advance of weapon systems too. Thats the main reason why the USA retiere their battleship. No real use anymore of their big gun. Smaller automated guns with computer aided targeting shoot faster, more exact and with other ...

since you mentioned mines sever times minefields would be awesome. Area denial in your enemies systems and such

I noticed once I put 4 boarding pods on my escorts pirates ceased to be an issue. Im still experimenting to see if pods will net me any worthwhile tech gains in my wars

Good posting DWA86 !!!!!<br/>
Like i said, people need to create their own class and class-abilitys.
<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>US did with the Fletchers in WW2, they were the size of light cruisers and called destroyers must have made the ...

<t> I would want Blank Classes and blank Fleets. You define the behavior of the ship and which fleets it joins and how the fleets act. I want my high speed big gun battle cruisers in my raiding fleets and my slow "Omen of Doom" world takers in my invasion fleets ect would be cool if you could define ...

I imagine missles are really rather ineffective and the graviton weapons have too slow of a rate of fire and range?

<t> Searched didn't really find what I was looking for.<br/>
<br/>
Weapons...at this point it seems to me you want titan beams and torpedoes and their may not be much point in doing much else. Is this an accurate observation or am I missing so points on this?<br/>
<br/>
What weapons do you find ...

<t> Wouldn't it make sense as time goes on what's "small" changes. At some point a 500 ship is small if all your others are 1500. Like how the size of a destroyer from ww2 and now has changed. Really the role/class what ever its called is the cool part.<br/>
<br/>
The reason small craft had some ...

<t> ok so how I got two of the things. Found a third but thought id let the other empire have it to make it interesting. Refugees showed up just as I finished the first one so I have plan for them this time. <br/>
<br/>
How do I get the super laser off the moons. I read about people building them ...

<t> I would Like to be able to order the construction of a ship directly to a fleet. If there were a build option in the fleet menu it would be perfect think the latter total war seris games where the your build troops from the army menu. Its a pain to try to keep up replacing losses if im trying to ...

<t> So everything's going great chugging along to galactic domination. I found a death star looking thing being repaired by another empire and it was nearly done. I thought sweet so I declared war invaded killed their construction ship and moved my own in. Then the thing just randomly blew up after ...
