Daynar's Sergetti Mod. (Or: AAAAAAIIIEEEEEE!!!!)

[Sinapus]

Ow, ow, ow. Now I'm glad I have only one warp point with 200+ mines (and growing, oh yes I'm stacking more) blocking their way in.

First, my congratulations on getting them to add more point defense to their designs. Second, those heavy mount phased-poleron beams are -nasty- against fighters. I may try to whip up a "small phase shield" component for fighters in vengeance.

I'm currently playing a game with a cluster quadrant. I have three clusters. Currently, the Sergetti and Terrans are attacking me. So I started laying mines and when I got a cruiser hull, built some space yard ships to put some space stations on the warp points.

Despite the mods the Sergetti have, the Terrans are actually doing much better with minesweeping right now. They've managed to sweep my fields a few times and I need to get bigger minelayers because my current destroyer-sized ones just aren't dropping enough mines to nail the sweepers and still have some left.

Of course, I -think- the Terrans are trapped in that cluster they're in so maybe their AI Research has a flag to encourage mine research while the Sergetti are expanding and apparently attacking the Xi'Chung which might be drawing more of their efforts. (Have a cloaked light cruiser scouting their systems. The Terrans keep mining their warp points and those cruisers are expensive.)

Anyway, nice job.

come with too high a price. I would look up into your lifeless
eyes and wave like this..." *waggle* "...can you and your
associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"
