Capital Ship Point Defense

[mjolnir]

Yes, nine hundred metres is where a capital ship may defend itself, but outside that range a six million dollar ship can send a projectile of pwnage at the 700 million dollar ship where the seven hundred million dollar ship cannot possibly return the favour.

No it can't, just like modern aircraft carrier doesn't have anything to shoot over 20k away with, while bombers that attack it can fire missile from over 100k away.

Again, the discussion comes back to escorts, which people have said crumbles as a theory in practice. Why? Timezones do wonders to separate clans and whittle down numbers to two and sometimes a Nigel. Also, the point has been raised that one should get friends, however, nowhere does it say one needs friends to play this mod.

Again the simple math comes back

1 BS = 1 player vs 1 Bomber= 1 Player => Bomber can't do anything at all. Advantage BS

1 BS + 1 VHF = 2 players vs 2 bombers => BS+VHF should win. Advantage BS again

Against three fighters the BS should at the very least be capable of destroying one.
Yes. I am using it now.:D

3 VHFs can't ever hurt a BS at all now. Yes if they stay out of range the BS can't kill them, but they can't hurt it then either.

The reason for this is pretty straight forward, if the BS could hurt them at any range, it would be used to "hunt" fighters.
