Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.

[Fyron]

Talisman is 50 kT. It is 25% of a Frigate (200 kT). So, with bridge, LS, CQ, Talisman, that is 120 kT left over. Add some engines, 60 kT (unless you don't mind being slow). I think that the small ship sizes will effectively neuter the Talisman.

AS should not be that big a deal because there are no mounts guaranteeing 100% success, and there would be so many ships that you cant subvert them all.

Actually Talisman is too big to be a factor in this game. It will fit on a frigate, but take up a lot of room that could go for shields or weapons. A fleet full of frigates with talisman are going to be damn expensive compared to the cheap cannon fodder your opponents will be throwing at you. I think this would be a huge mistake, but I'd love to see someone try to pull it off.

No issue of Sat stacks with it or WP stacks?

Hmm, as I recall geo was giving away places in his games only a couple of weeks ago, and now he's starting a new one?

Anyway, I'll like to join this one too please.

Well, I guess that would still be an issue. But I have always felt that was a minor issue anyway as it's purely defensive. Limiting it to small WP's means the range advantage isn't going to be that tremendous for the defenders. Where the WP with talisman becomes truely evil is with the large WP mounts that can reach out and touch you just about anywhere on the map. That won't be a problem here.

Well, I never said I was going to play in this game did I? Being game owner gives mee a fix without taking too much time.

But I will admit it's been a struggle not click the little apply to join button myself.
