Carrier Battles #7 is looking for a replacement player.

Turn #11;
- Probably a Berzerker empire, and from the stats, it appears to be expanding well.

The player controlling this empire dissapeared from the net just over a week ago, but the empire is doing just fine.

Phantom players!

Phantom of the Empire!

[Suicide Junkie]

The position has been filled. Thank you.

Also, an update to the CBmod School of Design.
Weapons 101 is now posted, with two classes available.

The 2pm class with Ekolis, and the 8:30am class with SJ

As suggested by Mac on IRC, and probably others too, I've gone and come up with a new type of missile system.
The general idea is that you get to choose what to put on your missiles.

A such, I've come up with a 3x3 grid that I like. You get to choose from 3 levels of armoring (none=5hp, light=15hp & heavy =35hp), and three levels of warhead (none=AM/AF, explosive AF/AS, nuclear AF/AS)

Each level up in one of those categories slows down the missile, improves its damage and/or damage resistance, increases cost, supply use, and more as applicable.

I've also mananged to make the anti-missile, anti-fighter and anti-ship damage blend nicely, so the AF and AM missiles don't need to be distinct. In fact, the unarmored explosive missile is right in the middle range where it could reasonably be used against heavy missiles and lightly shielded ships.
I have limited the missiles to the most sensible target types, so you can't fire the slow nukes at missiles(too slow to catch 'em), and you can't fire the wimpy AM missiles at ships (No damage past leaky shields).

Still testing, but quite nifty so far!

Sweet!
Presumably the bigger, fancier missiles don't actually obsolete the lighter, quicker missiles? That would be a pain...

I had ideas very similar to this for my Star Fleet Battles mod and the different Drones/Missiles that SFB has...

Very Cool...can't wait...
