I'm fairly sure you can't make a ship that powerful. Won't have the space. And no ship can have 1 movement point. And my Behemoth class would completely destroy that ship in one shot

Just a quick question... How can Lukoil not make a ship that powerful but your Behemoth class be able to completely destroy it?

I am sure creating a new weapon and corresponding tech's would allow you to achieve a ship like that but it would take some effort to balance it for use in a game.

The stats for those ships are scattered all over. Plus they have no movement speed. His behemoths probly can move faster, and have all the stats plopped into one category e.g. all that into beam. If it were a straigt cross over, it could have 920 attack points in one category and then you can also transfer the 448 defense points to one category or put it all into defense. Even if only half of the defense fit into offensive weaponry, that still means it would end up with 1144 attack power, not including any bonus from sciences, resources and other sources.

Oh believe me i really can!
Even thought the ships have Doom Ray,Black Hole Generator,Droid Sentries,Unverialibity shields,Psyonic Schreder

Easy. My behemoths are all mass driver. You seen his armour? Weak! One shot from a behemoth (over 200 mass driver attack) and he's toasted.

Mind you, so am I. But I don't care, his ship cost more. I could probably get 20 behemoths to the one of his, especially with all those expensive defences.

And Lukoil, you don't research conquest victory. And yes, I REALLY really could crush your ship. You don't understand how the game mechanics work, you're dead in one shot against a clever enemy. And, you can't afford many of those things.

And, no yo can't build it. I've got every military tech before, and no. And even in a fleet, still no because you simply don't have the armour to survive a Behemoth. I don't believe you've ever played the game before, if you have you're certainly hallucinating.

Yes, I just checked. The most you can get on a ship is 220 beam attack, and thats with no engine no defences no nothing. Just pure beam attack. If you are wondering how my behemoth has over 200, some defences, and speed, it's because I played Drath with added attack bonus.

Your ships are beyond impossible, they are completely ludicrous. And yet, I can still beat them

And no ship can have 1 movement point.


Ships can have any number of movement points you care to assign to them.
You could assign a speed of, say, 25, to any hull you want. You would never have to add any engines if you didn't want to.
Which would leave all the more room for weapons and defenses.

A ship with a speed of 1 would have 1 movement point if no engines were added. So, it is a simple thing for a ship to have single movement point.

I actually meant 0 points. I misread his thing, his ships have 16 movement points.

His ships cannot exist, and I strongly doubt he has any idea what he is talking about (ie researching conquest victory). That, and without defences he would be destroyed anyway.

"I have a questions how to do my mod! I will include BattleStar Galactica main ship and Pegasus

Battlestar
Beam -365
missile - 555
mass driver 345
Shields - 75
Point Defense - 28
Titanium Armor - 0
Speed-16
Hull size - Huge

Pegasus
Beam - 400
missile - 321
mass driver 288
shields - 111
Point Defense - 18
Titanium Armor - 0
speed- 15
Hull size-Huge

What do you say "

I say, it is now much easier to read.
I also say, way overboard on weapons, and way underpowered in defenses.
You don't mention hit points at all, but from these specs you will be losing a lot of them in battles.

You can only fire at a single ship in a fleet at a time, don't forget. So more weapons than is necessary to take out their strongest ship is overkill and wasted.

However, in the first round of battle this single ship will have to take on the firepower of their entire fleet.
All it will take is a fleet of 8-10 small to medium ships with a mass driver attack of 10 each to reduce your designs to rubble.

These should be late game, top of the line ships. So yes, huge hull, but with Zero-Point Armor as well as other top line defenses. Titanium Arrmor is crap. And, these should not be introduced as complete ships either. Usually you will be going up against a single type of weapon, at most two with one being much heavier. So they should be hulls that can be speciallized as to weapon and defense techs.

And with the new combat model in 1.2, the defense/weapon ratio should be more like 2/3 defenses to 1/3 weapons if you want the ship to last through more than 1 or 2 rounds or battles. These should not be throw away ships, but made to last. They should be able to give a good punch, but they should be able to take even more of a pounding.

Thats a fleet of seven ships. And you're researching quantum torp. That has to be before 1.1, because the HP is through the roof. Either you took this before the game was better balanced, or you edited it.

Either way, I can STILL one-shot every ship there except the galactica

You have no chance to survive. Make your time.

lukoil, the stats on the map are not the same as the stats of a ship in the ship designer due to offense and defense bonuses, and you haven't shown us anything by showing the stats for a fleet. i've built fleets far stronger than that. and considering that it looks like yours are loaded up on capital ships, mine would probably win. i use a few capital ships and lots of fighters. they die quick, but my larger ships typically make it through battles unscathed. even still, each ship can only shoot at one ship.

i think i agree with marcathonas, you must be playing an earlier version. if those ships are surviving, you must be using the old combat system pre 1.2b. if you do ever upgrade, you'll find your ships won't do nearly as well.

it is possible to build those ships, but it usually means stealing several empires' hyperion shrinkers and/or modding yourself a significant mini bonus.

however, building those ships would lose you the war. it's easy to beat the AI even on maso when you all ready control most of the galaxy and have a major tech lead. try building up your fleets earlier when things are still more evenly matched, and see how well your ships do. or set up a 'battle of the gods' game and see if your designs hold up as well against evenly matched tech.

Please understand. Those ships aren't that amazing. You haven't researched the all the techs. The ships you describe are IMPOSSIBLE. Your economy looks bad, and it couldn't sustain those ships. And if you ever played me, you wouldn't be able to AFFORD to fight me. Military is for those that can't buy players. You would find every race in the game against you, and those defenceless ships would burn like the scrap they are.

See, note my date. I just whipped up that fleet in five mins. Battle of the Gods.

Marcathonas, you might have more luck convincing a tree.

I am kebabless, and know not whether to be offensive or defensive.

Lukoil, submit a game to metaverse, and then you prove that you are as good as you say. But your ships are meaninglessly overdone, and attack stats mean nothing.

Not everything is army but i play on scenario normal 5000 gold if i play on your scenario for me will be 50% easier!I will destroy the races for 5 years maximum!But do you try to play on normal scenario with 5000 gold on level masochistic!
I will crush you not you!

Go play it then, and we shall see you getting kicked senseless.
And next time, get a metaverse score. Your bragging is nothing but irritating without proof.

it actualy is possible to get ships that powerfull in a gigantic galaxy advanced espionage for all races and if every race has expert miniaturization (for the hyperion shrinker) I've gotten over 20 of them in the past the ships i produced from that if I use everything are hideously expensive but nothing can stop them (provided they are properly balanced for the game at the time) you don't even need to fleet them bu it is highly unlikely to achieve that unless you are trying real hard and not really playing to win (youll win eventualy like this but continueing is kind of pointless then)

Reboot and try again.
If it still fails scan your computer for malware.
