Shields are by no means crappy

In newbie 2, Im blowing the heck out of the Eee with decade-old ships mounting Meson BLaster IIs.

They deal less damage, but the Eee shielding REALLY sucks. Well, that and overwhelming numbers.. 37 on one, you're pretty much screwed.

Well Dragonlord is using PPBs and I don't have the research output to make phased shielding worth while.

Baal - through observation. I've been in contact with Dragonlord and I know you and him and switching back and forth (as he keeps going from 1st to 2nd).

Currently, I find myself contained by the massive empires of Dragonlord and Baal. Well, at least they're not allies...

Nope, Baal and I are in a quasi-war.
My biggest problem now is the long supply lines I have toward my front..I colonised some stuff near the front but it takes time to build up infrastructure there. Meanwhile I am very curious what Baal is up to...he just scarificed a ship (knowingly, I assume) against my patrol fleet, I guess so he could find out what components I use on ships

Actually that was to see what was beyond that warp point.

I just lost two LC's to Baal's minelayer. All along I thought it was an observer ship

Now I find out he layed mines all over the contested system. The Nostro will pay for this !
Allies, please join me in the mourning of my lost crewmen :-(
