Re: Overall Strategy and Massive Confusion
Because it has no weapons, so it will run to the corner in strategic combat.

Re: Overall Strategy and Massive Confusion
Yeah, and then it is not the ship Gryphin had described.  That type of ship is useful; the one with all PDCs is not. |

Re: Overall Strategy and Massive Confusion
Elowan,
Fyron is correct about why my FF PDC 6 is useless. I have to admit at the time I did not know that. It was an attempt to feed GT miss information.

Hmmm - bummer because a heavily PDC'ed ship would be useful vs missiles and fighters - or so I thought. It would seem that this is not correct.
So - I'm back to my original plan to add PDC and even a cannon or two to my missile ships. With a cannon on a MS - it can 1) fight back whilst re-loading missiles, 2) not run away whilst doing same. But since I hardly ever fight using Strategic ...
Beware the 'wandering cow' when setting traps for the unwary.

Re: Overall Strategy and Massive Confusion
Elowan,
The key to an "Aegis" design is a hull with:
Max speed,
Armor and Sheilds to fit your style
1 Beam weapon with a range no longer than that of the PDC
Fill in the rest with PDC.
With the Beam weapon it will stay in the fight.
I don't know what happens if that weapon gets knocked out.

That's how I design by screening ships.
The Aegis is a missile cruiser so where do missiles fit into the design of which you speak?
