well

lolz

hehe.... advent bomber spam.

There is another picture you should take... what happens the second that cloud gets within range of 2 kols.

gasp! your right!

so its not true bomber spam!

actually, you only have about 340 fleet supply worth of carriers, so about 357 bombers... (lets assume the fighters are from your capital ship's squads)   so... your only going to do about 14800 burst damage (/13.5 seconds) 

that seems like alot, but thats before shield mitigation, damage type, and armor... after you apply that, you prolly wont be able to pop a carrier cruiser, though anything else is definately gone.

more realisticly.... It will do about 9600 damage to a repair bay (before armor), or 3850 damage to a starbase. (before armor), or 4500 damage to a lv1 capital ship. (before armor)

why do bombers do more damage to capital ships than starbases? (expecially because cap ships have higher shield mitigation)  good question.

Mind you, A lv5 kol (3 flack, 2 forceshield) would be able to tank about 3x your bomber spam. 

(hehe. brick.)

what? you dont like the brick? 

...

come over here and let me smack you with it...

Imagine the surge of xp gain those Kols would get once all those bombers die off...

ya wanna know? fine.

2320.5 exp  (divided by number of cap ships, ofcourse)

dude.. your missing out... nothing like zooming in on an individual strike craft and watch it weave around the GIANTIC EPIC BATTLE OF FRIGGEN AWSOMENESS.

wait a sec...

your a hummie hater!

I bet you were rooting for the predator and the aliens...

I bet you were rooting for the zerg, and the covanant, and the romulans and the Na'vi and the goa'uld and the Sontarans and the ur'quan and the wraith and the xindi and the drakh and the Volgons and the grox and the borg and the cardassia... you know what, never mind.  just get off my little blue rock.

I only don't like Kodiak for the TEC ships. The Dunov and the Akkan are a little rough looking, but they are converted cargo freighters so I guess it makes sense. The Kol is awesome looking though, I'm glad its the games unofficial symbolic unit (like the mammoth tank for C&C).

Sorry, still a total newbie here -- how did you get it that you can see the individual strikecraft even in the distance? I also usually only see a bunch of dots, but even if I were to zoom in real close, I can usually only see *one* strikecraft (moving around real fast), and the others are far away and just iconized. Also, you don't have that little icon of your faction and the color hovering over all your craft, which is usually the only thing I can see on my strikecraft. How did you get that?

ya, theres a button next to the camera lock that turns off the 2d symbols, and then you hit ctrl+shit+z to get rid of the UI.

well, it locks the camera onto whatever is selected, so you can only zoom in or out (or rotate around) on that object. selecting something else locks the camera on something else.  Feel free to fiddle with it, but uasually people perfer that the camera zooms to where your cursor is.
