Or watch in horror as a dozen civilian ships get obliterated when a pirate escort wandered into firing range. [X(]

No pain no gain. [:D]

If you defend everything you defend nothing!

Sometimes you have to make sacrifices. World ain't perfect. And besides, those transport pilots probably rather die to defend their nation than become slaves to some twisted alien race.

I would expect no less from my pilots. However foreign freighter pilots might not take kindly to such treatment. [:'(]

Number of World Destroyers is dependent on the map size.

i wonder if it's ok for other empires to get upset with me because my area weapons reacted to another empire's attack; it's not their fault but neither is it mine, i'm defending myself - if they wouldn't get upset I would indeed use Shark's ideea, it obviously has merrits (profiting from killing your own civies [:)])

thanks also caerr for clarifying the relation between WD and map size, good to know

Although an even better use for an area weapon ship would be a heavily shielded 'kamikaze' type ship that could zoon in and take out enemy defending fleets. Just a super area weapon, enough engines to move, and shields.
