for how.much money would you pitrat a barge :D

If the Barge is not cap8 it does not take much time to kill it even in single bomber, the good thing is that GB escorts cannot effectively protect barge like they can protect transport.

Barge has 1,700,000 hull
Put a Cap8 on it, and that's 6,800,000
Assuming that they have the highest shield, that adds a regenable 100,000 shield to it. (900u/s, 12 second recharge time)

With a shield, that's 7,150,200 damage needed to be done (With recharge delay, time, etc factored in)

Barges have 800 nanobots and shield bats. With a cap8, that's 2,400 hull per nano and 300 shield per bat. That adds another 2,160,000 health to the Barge

Total hull health: 8,720,000
Total shield health: 590,200

Overall, the single bomber would need to do 9,310,200 damage before something comes to kill it

A SNAC does 22,440 hull damage per second, and 11,220 shield damage per second.

Time needed to take out shield: 52.6 seconds (Let's say 53 so it can be easy)
Time needed to take out hull: 388.59 seconds (Again, round up to 389)

Assuming that the bomber has an infinite powercore and doesn't miss a shot, it would take 442 seconds, or 7 minutes 22 seconds for a lone bomber to kill a cap8 Barge.

That doesn't seem much, but people suck at aiming, and not all bombers are fountains of infinite powercores, so it'd take longer

Although I'm probably wrong, since I suck at math
