Default Re: What\'s Your Favorite Ship Type?

Except of course that you can throw a great many small ships for each large ship.

This also has the effect of reducing the damage done when ship insurrections "happen".

Plus if the other race is using large ships with large (WMG, Null-Space) guns, smaller ships may stay alive longer. Take one of SJ's battlemoons. Mount 5 core-mount Null-Space projections and a multiplex tracking. Now, any ship that gets hit with 3k of INTERNAL damage is in serious trouble, yes? But it can only fire on 5 ships per 3 turns, and chances are you can field enough ships to overwhelm and destroy the moon.

Oh, and they make lovely suicide ships. Mount up enough boarding parties to take over a ship (probably max), knock out the target's shields, board. Chances are he'll have a SSD and both ships will blow, BUT if he's using a large, powerful ship the exhange will be more than worth it.
