Is there a Sun Tzu?

[Arkangel]

That would either have to be an epic destroyer or a carrier

[Colonol Dekker]

Something tactical, maybe a Fleet / Sector command station. A one-off in high earth orbit.

Like Fort Bear in Starlancer.

Just noticed while watching Darkest Hour. The UEF has AAA beams now?



Sorry fro crap youtube screenshot.

Was this noted by someone else already?

[Darius]

There's a cruiser up above the frigate shooting at some of your fighters. In that instance the frigate is in the path of some AAA.

[Arkangel]

Now that raises the question; what do the UEF have at their disposal in terms of Anti-fighter weaponry?

[Darius]

Fast-moving variants of blob turrets mainly. Currently their military philosophy is to spam the area with lots of poorly aimed plasma bits and hope that something hits. No flak (which means the video is a little out of date now).

[Stormkeeper]

That's a sound philosophy. American style of shooting. Spam enough bullets and hope you hit.

[blowfish]

Blobs can be pretty dangerous if balanced correctly

[General Battuta]

That sounds reeeeally pretty.

I hope they still have cluster missiles going everywhere too.

[Rick James]

This discussion brings horrible images to mind.

"Sir! UEF vessels closing fast. They're opening up their anti-fighter weapons!"

"How many turrets are we looking at?"

"It's...OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!"

"WHAT NINE THOUSAND!"

[Stormkeeper]

Lol. More like ...

GTVA Pilot: "Hah, that ship only has 20 turrets!"
GTVA Pilot2: "INCOMING PROJECTILES!!"
GTVA Pilot: "How many?"
GTVA Pilot2: " Its ... it's ... OVER NINE THOUSAND!!"

[Rodo]

The best anti fighter gun they should have is the multiple missile launcher or the piranha version from the Deimos.

I would like better to see a faster FASTER and smaller blob gun, or some kind of mounted fast ROF flail gun..

[Stormkeeper]

A blob with the rate of fire of a minigun, coupled with the accuracy of a sniper rifle, and the damage potential of a meson bomb.

[Rodo]

no meson bombs for the terrans... maybe a variant of the meson bomb but a nuclear version compacted in a missile :O

[eliex]

I think that its fairer in combat; the player can actually fight near capital ships and live while skilfully managing the SGE power board.

EDIT - The player's enemy is the GTVA - with AAAF beams. Just realized.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

UEF railguns still do massive splash damage, right?

[eliex]

I should think so . . .

[Arkangel]

If your wingmate cops one of those on the nose of his fighter the whole wing is positively screwed

[Darius]

To clarify, it's mainly the cruisers and karunas that spit out over nine thousand blobs...larger ships are geared towards anti-capital ship combat and tend to spam less.
