Okay guys I got a question for you...
What is the largest fleet you've ever fought and used in tactical combat?

And what is the largest fleet you've ever fought against and used in strategic combat?

I had a 200-ship fleet once.
150 dreadnoughts and battleships, assorted sweepers, and lots of troop transports.
All accompanied by a battlemoon loaded up with BioCrystal Armor.

We assaulted a Huge Norak Breathable world without and space force to speak of.

The evil planet was filled to the brim with horrible Massive Mount Talisman Death-Cannons.
It was such a horrific slaughter.
The survivors of the conflict numbered less than 25:
The sweepers that ran away, and the battlemoon with multi-thousand damage point scars on its armor.
All of the warships were dead. All of the transports that rushed the planet, including 50,000kt of infantry troops, all dead.

It wasn't a total loss, though.
20 turns later, a few thousand infantry units of the original 40,000 or so that reached the surface managed to capture the planet of 20 Billion people (Yes, more than the max)

Dang I wish I could have seen that battle :-)
Please keep telling these stories they are great.

How do you get a world over the limit btw?

Approx 200 - 200 dreads and baseships.
His fleet was "legendary" in experiance and he lost about 50 ships to my 200+ ....
I also had several bases, a full stack of sats and a medium planet with cargo facility and weapon platforms.
It was situated on a worm hole and I had my fleet there, so I had first shot.

Didn't do me much good

That's a good news! It means Ruatha has less than 200 dreadnoughts in the current NGC3 game where he is thinking somewhat too much to launch an offensive against my own Empire. *Winks*

As my biggest fleet is from the aforementioned game, I am afraid I cannot give any number about it, for there are spies.

Playing the Delvemod, I've had over 200+ ships, AI both Flora and Sonne had 300+ ship fleets, largets battle fought, me 209, all types butheavy in super DN's and DN's, against 303 Flora, (I got creamed) sigh, started building monitors and super monitors, huge fleets in this mod game, however, i have spotted a Sonne fleet with 367 ships, close to one of my core worlds (not looking good folks)

300+ DNs and baseships attacking a fully loaded sphereworld, surrounded by a couple dozzen starbases and a handfull of smaller ships. attacking fleet was creamed, but the defender was admittedly cheating.

Think i still have the saved game from the battle.

Ragnarok · #10 December 10th, 2003, 04:40 PM

I don't recall the largest battle I've had. It was up above 350 DNs and Baseships against the AI going against 200 or 300 ships of his own. I won easily though.

In the Return to Hell game, I was looking forward to taking my fleet of 600 DNs and Baseships against a fully loaded Sphereworld with max population and multiple bases (50+ I'm sure). It would've been fun but game couldn't finish due to shear size of it.

But there will be a RTH 2....You can count on that.
