20 crew? There have to be FAR MORE than 20 onboard a cruiser. I'd estimate at least 1,500. Remember, the mission with the Warspite they say something about thousands of people going to die.

1,500 x 50 = 75,000 people dead.

BTW, if you painstakingly scripted the Sathanas' beam shots, then it would destroy most of the Leviathans.

 
Actually, I think the BFR beams will slice though several levs before it dissipates.

Only if they were all lined up.

Correct. Look at the Behemoth VS Vigilant com ani. The beams slice through. A BFRed could kill many Leviathans, if possible.

20 CRUISERS, not 20 crewmwmbers....learn to read :lol:

How much crew does a Levi have? I'd say between 500 and 1500, but we don't have any solied numbers here.

50 cruisers vs 7 destroyers...hmm... which one's better?

So fro ma efeectivnes, crew losses and material losses standpoint, it's better to swarm a Sath with cruisers :p

Yes, but how many cruisers can you muster?

Depends on the class. Aeolus cruisers would be better, they have 2 SGreens. The advantage given by the armour plating of Leviathan cruisers is useless since a BFRed is enough to destroy it.

Then, there are cruisers like the Eclipse... :P

There were only 24 Aeoli.

They would evade the beams only if they're not pointing at the Sathanas. But I think that it would be difficult, a beam hits the target istantly.

There were only 24 Aeoli.

So? The GTVA will never send 50 cruisers against a Sathanas. In theory...50 Aeoli should be enough.

Are we trying to be realistic or just plain "how to kill Sath" here?

We do not know how many Aeoli the GTVA and/or the NTF lost, so...

50 Aeoluses can bring a comsicly insane level of anti-figter firepower to bear...All the Saths fighters and bombers would be useless.

The Lev would be more effective in that respect.
