Why a destroyer when 100 Ursas can take out a Sathanas?

I got to the Vasudan Pilot Exchange program and I used the Maxim and the Prometheus-S Cannon and the same time. The Recoil is UNCONTROLLABLE. It goes all over the place!

The recoil is from the Maxim, not to do with the fighter itself.

The Maxim should really really replace blob turrets. A cruiser loaded with them would deal massive damage to other ships.

ya, I'm surprised that command didn't put them on fragile targets like transports

But, yet again, this IS command we're talking about :doubt:

I once armed a Leviathan with about 20 Maxims to each turret then pitted it against large waves of fighters and a couple shivan cruisers.  It did well.

I agree Cobra. I've only been here for 1 year and I've seen so many "Command's Stupid oh my god" jokes, as well as "Oh, just send in Alpha 1 LOLOLOLROFLMAO" jokes that it just gets god damn old. :rolleyes:

What was command thinking anyway when they sent one Hecate to fight against the Sathanas?
Hell, 100 bombers could have taken down the Sathanas... but NOOO! You have to send 12 bombers and one Hecate! the 100 bombers would have been a lot more cost effective too!

http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Employer=U.S._Navy/Salary

Looks like the average is $60,000.

60,000x 10,000x 3 = 1,800,000,000
I come out to $1.8 Billion.
Omg, wtf? Either GTVA Workers are overpaid WAY too much, or building an Orion costs less than an Ursa
because a B-2 Bomber nowadays is ~2 Billion.

Volition most definitely screwd up on these numbers. Or the FS Port team screwd it up,
Anyone have the original FS1 to check the Tech Room in?

Figuring $40,000 per person, per year, $1,200,000,000.  Methinks calculating the cost of a moon would be a more difficult affair, as you have raw area and the value of mineral rights to consider.

Yeah, they did mess up badly on their numbers there.

Far outweighs.... Maybe it costs around 2 billion? Still... Messed up. :blah:
