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.

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.

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.

AI game large map around 250 systems. High TDM AI with medium bonus. I had about 500 baseships/dreads/battleships when I hit MEE. I lost in the end.

Something abit like Star Wars with the Empire. All my ships and planets kept rebelling due to 12 empires all close in score and the top 2 just under the MEE limit and me having enough intel to take on intel attacks from any 2 other empires... but not all of them. It hurts when you are losing 3 to 6 ships a turn and 1 planet every 3 or 4 turns.

Wound up grouping all the ships together and trying to charge through all the enemy empires taking em out. I had control of 4 clusters and had pretty much wiped out 3 enemy clusters and 2 of the AIs when the situation back home became unsustainable.

Note: It hurts when 2 fully developed ringworlds and a partially developed Sphereworld join the other side.

Extra Note: In this situation fighters and drones rule. Even while I was losing all these planets and ships I made sure the enemy didn't get to keep them for longer than 2 turns.

Final Note: Don't produce star destroyers when lots of your ships are switching sides. Trust me, it hurts.

So anyone have any good battle reports they'd like to give? I like hearing stories based around game fought battles.

My biggest battle was only my 18 cruisers against 23 enemy cruisers ending in my clean victory with only 6 losses so it would be boring compared to your guys huge battles.

But once I get the full game going I plan on making a full fledged story out of it so keep an eye out .
