RTH has filled all slots; discuss the game here!

Faster yes, but there's also 200kT less space for components. Yeah, battleships also have less space taken up by life support and crew quarters, but if you have the master computer (an expensive component) that doesn't matter, and with dreadnoughts you'll use fewer master computers total, as you won't be able to afford quite as many ships as you would if you went with battleships. So are there any super-important reasons, besides speed, that say I should go with battleships?? And is 1 point in speed that important? By the way, thanks a lot for the help

One point of speed can be crucial for catching that raider fleet or if you are the raider, getting away

For a fulltech game with ample resources like RTH, expect to see plenty of Baseships in the main battle formations. Smaller and faster ships like Battleships are more usefull for scouting, raiding and suicide missions to slow down the enemies main fleets.

Note that Baseships get a 40% defense penalty, so be careful using them.

Yeah, but they still outperforms Dreads in large battles. You will need to invest some 25 % more resources to make a Dread fleet compatible.
Is it worth the extra 2 movement points ? Maybe

[Renegade 13]

Ah, but here's the question: Is it worth the extra resources needed to make a battleship fleet competitive with a dread fleet for the one extra movement point?? Or would the answer again be "maybe"?!?!?

Go big or go home. Base ships are the way to go.




Your ships are there to die anyways.

man, this is just gonna be scary, if everyone has the same basic skill sets - ie, maxed out...
