<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Nah, its a waste to eliminate all those little aliens instead of making them your slaves. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

In the Proportions Mod the best way to eliminate a race's independence is with "Assault Troop Carriers" (Destroyer Hull) loaded with 60 Armored Divisions (small troops) each and on the wings of your formation to charge the planet while the enemy fires on your heavely armored BattleCruisers. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

If the planet have your own atmosphera type you can even take some of your own race population there to simulate ocupation and enslaving of the defeated race. It doesn't affect gameplay, but it sure looks cool. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: A Moo3 Reject
 

Now that we are talking about evil things i'll tell you my worst deed ever.

I made First Contact with the Brobosa States, a neutral race, I propoused a Trade Treaty, but they refused and instead attacked my little tiny scout with like 10 Missiles Frigates and blow them out of space back to stellar dust.
Of course, in our HomeWorld people got very upset, and my goverment sworn revenge for the lives of our braves explorers.

After a long war, at the third attack on the Brobosa Homeworld, and Homeworlds are the toughess pie in Proportions, our Navy suceeded in taking their planet by assault. They had 65 Weapons platforms and hundreds of fighters, so our loses were heavy, with over 200 fighters lost, 3 Destroyers and 3 Light Cruisers. 1 of my 3 Battle Cruisers took so much damage that only the external Armor Plating was left, with all the crew lost to enemy fire.
The ground troops losses were even heavier, with about 40 percent of the troops engaged in battle killed in action. From the 60 Armored Divisions that landed on the first wave no one survived. Only the second Army group managed to hold the beachhead, and then my slow "Heavy Troop Carriers" reached the planet and landed 250 divisions at once.
But then it was when it happened. As revenge for the losses our goverment ordered the extermination of the whole Brobosa leadership and nobility, a total of 20 million people, men, women and children. They were taken from their houses and shuttled to the Troop Carriers orbiting the planet, and then jettisoned out of the cargo holds into space.

It was terrible. I still have nightmares about it.

If its too silent, visit "the cantina" for a healthy dose of cartoon violence. Just introduce yourself and buy a drink on GT's tab ( Don't say I sent you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ).
You could also visit one of the political threads and enjoy people casually talk about genocide of real people http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif .

Re: A Moo3 Reject
 

If you want to ENSLAVE a people then assault troops are indeed the best way... if however you want to wipe them from the face of creation so that no race for the rest of time will even think of resisting your might, then you want the stealth minesweepers with star destroyers. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: A Moo3 Reject
 

Cloaked minesweepers (even those with Stealth Armor activated) do not sweep mines.

Re: A Moo3 Reject
 

Ahh... but most people lay mines in set locations such as warp points over planets, and stars. Merely decloak when passing through such places and recloak to maintain the super secrecy! Late game the cloaking isn't an option anyways... always have sensors everywhere. In that case you just rush from system to system with fast movement minesweeper star destroyers!

Course... this only really works in classic turns.

Lemme write that down.

1) Order them onto transports.
2) Chuck 'em into space...

I dunno...seems a lot less brutal than my 'how long can you burn' policy. But it works http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

But wait...how are you going to hear them scream???
