Re: The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut

NullAshton prepares his fleet for war. 20 B-Destroyer IV's form the front of the fleet. 10 B-Destroyer III's are on the edges of the second row, with 10 P-Blaster I ships in the center. 400 large fighters, Zipper VI's are launched from underground bunkers, zooming around the fleet.

I'm ready. Anyone else ready?

A group of five COMCAs emerges from a nearby warp point. Immediately behind them are ten Motherships, which immediately start launching well-equipped Starfighters - 150kT fighters. Need I say more? - which take up positions next to NA's fighters. The extra defensive perimeter provided by this gives NA's fleet enough additional firepower to blow an average planet to dust, and still have some left for a little target practice in the afternoon.

Ten Massive Traders equipped with lots of shielding drop out of the WP, loaded to the brim with Armies and assorted other ground combat squadrons to fill up space - and with the Armies weighing in at 250kT each, and Artillery - the strongest GC unit in Capship - is 50kT, and approx. 50kT is used by commanding officers (required), so you can imagine the strength. Also, as Massive Traders are 4000kT in size, and they have an inherent extra cargo carrying capacity of 10MT, well, you get the idea - and move to formations around the planet, selecting formations and positions that allow for easy troop dropping.

The poor sods don't stand a chance.

What appears to be 8 moving moons approach the fleet as well. They are not moons, in fact, they are 10 megaton worldships. Each has 10 massive wave-motion guns, along with a core mounted null-space cannon. These take up a defensive sphere around the fleet, with the fire arcs providing a complete 360 degree firing arc around the fleet. The extra 2 worldships take positions at the front of the fleet, giving additional firepower in front.

Wonder what they'll bring against us? Light cruisers?

In the depths of space, fires the size of entire countries light on the back of a massive object. With an immense ponderousness, it shudders...And moves. Accelerating constantly...Uh...Check that...Accelerating like a drunken mongoose with a migraine, the planetiod N.S.N. Murphy's Law heads for the scene of the battle, at a speed that occasionally exceeds that of light. Sometimes, even by a large margin.

Meanwhile, sitting in front of the big screen TV with my large phries and wings, I note that the referee is about to blown his horn to signal a foul. I wonder who will be blamed for the rip in space time?

Re: The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut

The laws of the universe says that light always moves at light speed. Sorry, you can't move faster than light like that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut

Err... what? I didn't move faster than light.

Re: The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut

Of course you can. You just need to substitute Newtonian physics for Einstienian physics with a little space-time manipulation.
