So all of you use all these types of ship?

Good point onyhow. So Point defense wouldn't work on kinetic kill weapons? That would mean thatkinetic kill weapons would be long range weapons in laser have beam spread in outer space. So what do you think about my jump drone ideal, onyhow? Also RomanSpy did you play the second battlezone.

I'm not saying that there is stealth in space, we are past that point. I'm asking if Point defense systems, that can be used against missiles, be used against kinetic kill missiles( non engine fired from a rail gun or coil gun type weapon)? I also can see you point in the fighter thing. If we have a PD system that can track and destory missiles, then no matter how fast a fighter is, even if it could jump, it would be destoryed too. But lets look at my first question, if we can

After my What do you guys, think space warfare should be like. I came up with the question, are space fighters and bombers usefull, to answer the question, is there any space fighter and bombers in space. So here my question, do you guy use carriers? Do you fing the fighters and bombers they produce useful? Other question is if you had two space warship that did the same job, wouldn't you build the better one? Both the LRM and HC are assault ships. Only differ

I'm not saying that we can or can't build FTL. I'm saying "if" we could build them, and we did this with them, will it work. It more of a question if we could make space fighters usefull.

There pros and cons to ever type of ship and faction. Ever one runs over the pro, that capital ship are abilitie powerhouse, but do not note that some of the other special abilities, do not effect them. Case and point, all capital ship are note effected by the area disable of the Subverter's distortion field. This means why your HC and missile frigates are defenseless, you battleships keep on fighting. The only disable able that work against capital ships, are those of other capital ship. <b

Ok,ok, back on topic everone. I don't want this post to turn into the BETA 1.1 post, were we are not talking about the topic. New questions to everone. Can we track and there for destory kinetic kill missiles( the shell type)? If we could build FTL drive and could make them small enought to put into a fighter, and those small drive would have fast rechange, but low jump range, could it mean that we could have fighters jump next to a target unload and jump back and rea

Thanks onyhow, stealth is useless in combat, if you can not find and the fire at your enemy. Also sense heat energy must go some where, does it mean that your ship will heat up faster then a ship with out stealth? Another question I have the so called "smart guy" and any one else, is if your shields keep heat and other froms of energy out, do it also keep your heat energy form going out? I do no mean the weapons fire of missiles, lasers, or rail guns. I mean the heat energy produced in

Lets keep it clean guys. Wanderer17 brings up a lot of good points, and his first post(with its links) gave us a lot of information form other sites that asked the very same question I asked all of you. The so caled "smart guy" not only has what he has listed but what other people have listed as ideals and some facts and numbers. This does not mean, that I don't have questions for Wanderer17 or the smart guy, or that I don't have fact that I could add, for and against. But before we kill each ot

Does any one know if they are also going to increase the number of squadrons for the carrier capital ship? I asked on the v1.1 patch post but no one answerd.

I don't think that the gap between missile and drone(UAV or USV) is very big, onyhow. RIght now people are trying to make a drone that carrys three bombs and fly around the battlefield. After it uses all three rounds, it turns into a missile and attack one last target. Yes I could see what you were trying to say USAF-Prometheus. The real question I think we should be asking are self is not which one weapons are we going to use, or if there is going to be space fighters, but what are the

I think that the different roles will be based on the min-max range of the weapon and the cost of it and the ammo for its use, USAF-Prometheus. One of the reasons that we still use guns on US fighter is that missile, have a min range in which they can't fire, if the target is too close. But why not replace missiles, with mini guns then? Will the guns have a small max range, and the missiles have a larger max range.

I think that we are all focusing to much on the weapons systems and not enought on tactics and the different types of ship. I know that the weapons systems affect the type of ships and tactics, but unless there is a reason for there to be differnt type of warships, we are still going to make one type and have one type of tactics. So here lets sum up the different type of weapons. Energy weapons (lasers) Pros: Move at the speed of light and there for are 100% a

When they say Carrier frigates , do they mean the Carrier cruisers? Also does this mean that the number of squadrons for capital carrier would be increased as well? Becasue right now were it stands I can get the same number of squadrons for Carrier cruisers as I would a capital carrier, based on supplys only. Do we get more squadrons, at lower level as well for capital ship? And when you mean "new technologies" do you mean new thing in the tech tree or is thing that make it easier to play the ga

From what I see, unless there is a reason for there to be different class of ships, then there will only be one class of ship. As producing another class of ship would waste resources in planning, tooling, and building. Case in point would be the battleship, cruisers, destroyer and torpedo boat system of world war 1 and 2. The point of each ship: (see wiki to see the source of my points) Battleship: The ideal behind all battleships and dreadnought is based on a battle

good posts everone, but can you guy tell me more about what different types of ship are need in you mind and what there job is.

I would send a capital ship to the planet, in order, to hold the planet long enought for you to build your own culture broadcasting stations

What do you guys, think space warfare should be like. Did you guy see it as walls ships killing other walls of ship. Or did you see space warfare as artillery duels. Or did you see space battles, as assassin or submarine battle in which ship had to find each other in order to kill each other. What roles did you think that each class of ship should of fallen into. And what would of been the difference between each ship of the same time in the other factions. Like in star wars

2) First off, I think that the wall vs wall, comes form the view of what space warfare would be like form the 1980s. I was just watching an anime made in that time period that has walls of ships, attack other walls of ships. But we have seen the very same wall vs wall from ever other space comabt game. Look at homeworld and homeworld 2. Where walls of ship attack each other. The only difference is that you get an attack bounes when not attacking the front of an enemy ship. 7)Th

I with ever one else, that said that the Kostura is useless. We should change this poll to Novalith vs Phase Stabilizer vs Deliverance Engine. Also, some times I find my capital ships, to be more useful then any of the so called "Super weapons".

I think that what you are look for, require for your ships to be both in a fleet AND for the stack command to be turned on. Once I had 8 Stilakus Subverter in a stack, while in a larger fleet. I then told the stack to use there Distortion field abilitie on a group of TEC ship(I was playing against the AI at the time). All 8 ship jumped and used there Distortion fieled together. And at the time I didn't think any thing of it. I mean sence the auto cast for all 8 could be turned off with

I don't see capital ship as pure support ship. Yes it is ture that they are huge, but a small frigate is just as much a target as the capital ships are. If you destory you enemys firgate, you reduce there firepower faster, while destorying there capital ship, removes there firepower and abilities. It is also ture that some capital ship are support ship, but not all. 3 out of 5 capital ship, for any of the three factions, are in fact support ship. But the other 2 out of 5 are not. That n

A political system in the tech tree. In which you have to take one of four to three upgrade, that have powerful prons and some cons.

I like Deadpool ideal, of a political system. It would help to explain why there are TEC factions, that fight each other, instead of a united front. One TEC faction went with the political system, of a home world, and other went with planetry control, and this is why there are TEC, fighting TEC and Vasari fighting Vasari and Advent fighting Advent.

I think, that what Tewelvefields is saying is the same, as what I'm saying. The scout ship in the game, is there to gather data, and a spy ship would do the same as well as some spy like functions. That why I said, it sdould be more of an upgrade. Here are my ideals, for spy missions for the TEC( I have yet to come up with any for the other factions). 1. Build pirate king: This is were your spy ship goes to a pirate base, and if the pirate attack, is against any one other the y
