Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and guess what? Wrong. The right answer: the Lucy's shields were invulnerable to all weaponry no matter how powerful they were. Or else the GTA and PVN would just have sortied all their Ursa and Amun bombers and pummeled the Lucy into oblivion.

Oh really?  And the only reason they couldn't do that: the Lucy had a nasty habit of vaporizing anything large enough to look like a threat, and carried how many fighter wings?  Not to mention, if the GTA / PVN started to mobilize anywheres near that much force, the Shivans would know and would show up at the most inopportune time and place.  Their Destroyers (esp Demons) were nothing to sneeze at, either.  Remember, as Alpha 1, you only get to see a minute slice of the action.  The rest you have to infer from what little you are lucky enough to hear about during command briefings.

Fine.

The Lucifer is easy to defeat if you have enough firepower. That's why it was able to defeat the GTA and PVN combined fleets while staying at 100% integrity all the time. :doubt:

Notice Shivan fighters usually pulled off the same feat until the Avenger came out.  :p

There's General FreeSpace for discussions like this.

The Gargant is invincible. Should it appear in the main INF SCP campaign, it will never be destroyed. Not conventionally.

Not if you rammed them. :P

(or used Furies and Disruptors, but the former is much more effective :P)

Excuse me but i did say several months constant - by than i mean non-stop - for several months. Prehaps i should have said a year. and by fleet, i ment destroyers not bombers. The shields i agree are to strong for fighters or bombers to take down.

What i meant was that it would take a fleet of destroyers something like a mars year worth of constant bombardment without letting up to bring down the Lucy's shields. the only problem is that by that time Lucy would have blown them to oblivion or have escaped.

-Like it takes 12 fs2 orions a month of constant bombardment to bring the shields down by 1%- at that rate it takes 8 Earth years and 4 months to bring down the Lucy's shields. and it would take the same number of fs1 orion about 5 times as long.

You try maintaining a constant level of bombardment for that long - it cant be done. in order for the lucy to take that sort of punishment you would have to disale the lucy. and the only way to do that is with a bording party IT WORKS IN THOERY BUT NOT IN PRACTICE

AND CHECK MY ORIGINAL QUOTE  - I DID ONLY SAY "IN THEORY"

In the case of the gargant then it would take a centuary of constant unrelenting bombardment to destroy it

Oh, in that case I agree with you. I really have to learn to read soon. :P

You can give me a metaphorical smack in the face for this.

Bombers are useless against shielded targets. A shielded cap could shrug off hundreds of bombs, but a beam cannon would be far more effective. Remember that Terran Command was utterly confident that the Colossus could destroy Lucifer-class ships. A Harbinger does 32 damage to shields. If the Lucfer had 100,000 shield points, all the Ursas in the Terran fleet wouldn't be worth a damn.

For Pluto defintely pressure. There's a reason why they use mostly upgraded versions of old tech

Whoa. Three of those I don't recognize at all.

1 and 2) the two to the right of the Peregrine
3) the one just to the left of the Medusa

Also, where's the Aphaea?

Aetna? Leda?
That third one I'm not sure, already I get confused with the Apollyon and the Callisto... but from the released INFA it doesn't seem to appear there...

:nervous:

Anyways, what's with that funny thing on the back of the Aetna's (:nervous:) left wing? Some bug, or was that bomber not intended to be symmetrical? It looks a bit... off... with that IMO... :nervous:

You should know! They are in the shiplisting! ;)

Well the smaller one is the Aetna, and the big one is the Leda.

3) the one just to the left of the Medusa

That's the high-poly Apollyon (renamed Geryon, Plutonian bomber).

Aetna? Leda?

Right you are!

That third one I'm not sure, already I get confused with the Apollyon and the Callisto... but from the released INFA it doesn't seem to appear there...

Callisto has only two primary guns under the cockpit, the Apollyon has three on each of the wings (six in total).

Anyways, what's with that funny thing on the back of the Aetna's (:nervous:) left wing? Some bug, or was that bomber not intended to be symmetrical? It looks a bit... off... with that IMO... :nervous:

It's just the angle that makes it dodgy, it actually a vertical wing.
