I like the quote.

It's from an old parody Robin Hood movie I watched a while back, actually.

Men in Tights?

[Snail]

Yeah, I think it was that.

[Cobra]

Death from above!
Death from behind!
Death to the Lilith!
Death! Death! Death!

Back in your cage, you.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

...what?

[BengalTiger]

By writing that the Hec pushes ships around I meant it acts like a bully-boss, not that it defeats them in battle.

Second thing- a Hat can kill even an Orion if it can bring all 3 BVas's on it, no matter what the Orion does (I once FREDded a small test to see who's stronger, and Hat won like 75% of the fights).

And the SC Rakshasa has rather good antifighter defence. Try the mission where you first meet it in the main FS 2 campaign on extreme if you don't believe me.

So, where were we with the Lilith, I lost the topic a few posts ago...?

More like a few pages ago

The Sathanas can destroy a Hecate as quick as the Lilith can destroy a Levi?

Faster.  A single salvo of four BFReds could destroy a Hecate 3 times over.  But it would take two shots from an LRed to destroy a Leviathan.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Well, how long does a Lilith take to destroy an Aeolus?

[Mars]

3 shots I believe... with a delay of 7 seconds... so 21 seconds... which is less than half the time it would take for the Aeolus to get off another volly.

Two shots, about 22 seconds.

[BengalTiger]

That 22 seconds rarely works unless the Aeolus is standing still. I've noticed that almost any cruiser can get out of a beam before it does any really serious damage, but either way, with the uber long beam recharge on the A, don't expect much unless it kills the L's beam in the first hit.

So if you all look back a few pages, you can see that I posted exactly how long the battle of alilith vs any other cap ship in the game takes. And you can see the hull % left on the winner. Just sayin.

Such tests are rather strongly influenced by a number of factors

I'll summarise: 1 on 1. Converging from max firing range. Beams free command after 10 seconds. favorable firing positions. Several runs. Good rule of thumb numbers for wildly generalized cases. post 325

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Another factor you cannot control: Luck.

[Stormkeeper]

A final factor: Artifical Inaptness.

Is that a reference to their ship-banging tendencies?

[bfobar]

you can control luck with multiple runs. Then luck becomes probability. AI ineptness can be controlled with some sensible fred commands a ship captain may likely give, like making the ships stop instead of waltzing around in circles and ramming eachother. So, yes I can and I did. Nya.

Inaptness? I thought it was ineptitude? :/
