...and the sky full of Ursas and Helii.

Actually, by small i thought it would be the size of an elysium

Seraphim's actually quite a lot bigger. It really is grotesque how huge that bomber is. Freakin' thing is a quarter to a third the length of a Cain, for cryin' out loud.

[Snail]

I'd love to see one inside the Imperial War Museum..

I made a mission where there was a Sathy, escorted by a Moloch, Rakshasa, and Lilith, as well as a ton of fighters and bombers.

On the GTVA side there was a Sobek, Orion, and a Hades (modified with beams to have slightly more firepower than the Orion) as well as fighters and bombers.

Based on angles of attack and precise strategies, the GTVA side wins (with one plot device thing to keep the Sathy from warping out)

Really? How did the destroyers avoid getting vaporized?

The Sath should be able to turn fast enough to take them out. Did you use attack orders, or waypoints?

The Orion stayed out of range and launched bombers, while the Hades jumped in from behind and flanked it while out of its firing arc (it couldn't turn without hitting the Sobek which was actually in front of it but too close for its BFReds to target) - I figured this out with a lot of experimenting. Not to mention the BFReds were usually taken out by bombers by the time the Hades arrived

The best way to kill a Sath is to forget to beam-free it.

and the best way to kill a roach is to let it go?

Well...if you think of it in the way of Snail...I think the best way to kill a roach is not to have it grow legs. Unfortunately, it has legs, so too bad for us.

...

mmm what about...

6 fighter wings and two bomber wings engage the sath in a distraction effort, them 10 wings of Myrmidons each armed with 2 Helios jumps in from behind, two wings for each engine, enter closes in, launch bombs at the engines and jump out.

It will be enoght to disable it... after that its just a matter of bring the big guns at the flanks.

The problem is... it will only work once, or twice, after that they will know it. And there are hundred of saths.

[Pred the Penguin]

Mrymidons can be equipped with Helios?

[eliex]

Mrymidons can be equipped with Helios?

Yes although it is amusing to a Myrm fire two Helios torpedoes that are individually about the size the Myrm itself.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Mrymidons can be equipped with Helios?

Yes. Go play the mission "I Did Not Get Paid For This" in JAD3:SoaP to see them in action.

[Droid803]

Its a table flub.
Just like how GVB Bakas are compatible with Helios as Primary Weapons.

I've gotta try that.

[Pred the Penguin]

How does that even work out?

Heh. I remember that thread. Errors ftw.

tl'dr most of the thread but:

To kill a Sath use ~+K.

[Snail]

To kill a Sath use ~+K.

No, ~ + Alt + Shift + K

[Nuclear1]

In my campaign setting, I had the GTVA dump unholy amounts of resources to developing an anti-juggernaut weapon, the end result is a penetrating delayed-detonation Meson warhead which burrows deep into the hull of the target and detonates.

Probably not what you were hoping for, but I'm hoping it remains in the realm of plausibility.

Didn't they make a couple of movies like that?

*Alpha 1 grasps the detonator in his hand*

[Stormkeeper]

No, ~ + Alt + Shift + K

... Isn't ~+K quicker?

Anyways, if you really wanted to kill A Sath, and just the one; you could always just throw two whole GTVA fleets at it. Back stab the Sath, and keep using your ships to pound away or distract it.

No, I think they're the same akshully. ~+K does 100,000 points of damage, while Alt+Shift+K just does 10% damage to the ship regardless of its HP. Since the Sath has 1,000,000HP I guess they would both take 10 goes to kill a Sath.
