BAH. Fighters should not be able to take down capships except with heavy torps, or by exploiting specific weaknesses. Fighters should fear capships.

Or better yet, not at all. Which is why I'm glad there's the 'Huge' flag in the game. Fighters are made to protect stuff from other fighters/bigger stuff from bombers and to take out beam cannons. Dot.

If shivans had beams 8000 years ago then by now (2367) they should have ultra-powrful BF beams about 100 times stronger then BFRed.

The Shivans aren't actually renowned scientists. They did use Lucy 8000 years ago, so as far as I'm concerned they don't really care about progress. They care about wiping out civilizations.
So there!

you know, there's something about games...
it's called balance

30 Fenrises can beat the  caplat out of an Sathana even if they storm it head on and they have lesser mass than the sathana alltogheter... probably less crew than the colossus aswell...

BAAAAAAANG! Wrong.  Sath would eat about 4 fenris's with one shot. And fenris has only a weak terran beam.

[Bishop Gantry]

Ten of Twelve have you tested it?...

I have,  I made a map with 30 fenrises and 1 Sathana 6 km apart... the Fenrises won:ha:

5 out of 5 tests...

[Nico]

whoa, some people have too much free time
anyway, with 30 anything, you can trash a sathanas obviously

[LtNarol]

you can do the same with 30 myrmidons, whats your point?  and 30 myrmidons have a lot less crew than 30 fenris, lot less than even one fenris.

[NegspectahDek]

how many fenrises went down

Give me an elysium with 8 helios bombs and sath will go down as easly as a nice fish...

[Stunaep]

Elysium can't carry Helios'

This has to be the biggest amount of s I've seen in a single thread

[Ulundel]

I know that Elysium can't carry helios.

BTW

[Stunaep]

All right, enough wiht the s already.

I don't think that the Shivans had beams when they fought the Ancients. If they did, why didn't Cains Liliths Demons and even Lucifer had beams? Ok, Volition didn't know how to make the beams for Freespace 1 so that leads to the conclusion that the Shivans may have attempted to create beam weapons before the Great War, ending up with the super Laser and mannaged to create real beams after the Great War

OR

The Lucifer fleet was lost in space for say about 8000 years and they had primitive Shivan technology which wasn't updated for thousonds of years and suddenly emerged in Terran-Vasudan space to demonstrate their power on the weak Terrans and Vasudans. Any opinios?

Nah, I'll stick with the idea that lucy was a scout.

[Stunaep]

Lucy WAS a scout

They're back, and they're wondering what happened to their scouting party
