Alpha Fleet, in my latest PBW game, is quite the force.
It's lead by Defender, a Legendary (41%) Sarhad II class (Null-Space Armed) ship, is Legendary (50%) in it's own right, and has a compliment of 15 ships, inlcuding minesweepers. This fleet, since being sent to the front, has sterilzed two enemy systems and destroyed over 30MT of enemy ships, for a loss of ONE ship and 90 fighters.
Why? Well, things start to add up..the ships were Vets (20%) to start with, as was the fleet. It got worse from there.
Right now, the Defender has a
211%defense modifer. Even fighting the Xi'Chung, which I am, their ships have less than a one-in-ten chance to hit me at point-blank range. Plus speed 12 and infinte supply..methinks whoever lies this direction is in for a whoooollle lot of hurt.
EDIT: I just checked the stats for the Lahore class battlecruisers. 42 MEGAtons destroyed, the greatest of any of my classes. Not surprsing, since they are the most numerous attack ships in my fleet, and are APB armed- thus get in more finishing shots on cripples. The surprsing part? I've built only 14..so that's an average of 3 MT destroyed per ship. I have 8 of the Sarhad IIs, which account for 3500kt in kills. But the REALLY ammusing part of this game is, I've lost more *colonies* than ships. 6 colonies, 5 ships.
[41%(ship XP) + 50% (fleet XP) + 60% (ECMIII) +30% (Scattering and Stealth armor) +25% (race) +5% (cultural) defense modifer.]
