FG: Galactic Overlord 8, Part 1

[Jamski]

MORON really seems to have the right mind for GO.

I expect him to crush the rest of the galaxy

Admit it Dr., MORON is just a DL of you to give you a real chance at winning now that everyone targets you ...

The thing with fighters and torpedos is that they are useless by themselves. They need to be mixed, ideally 50/50.

With a 50/50 mix, both spread/bunch are dangerous as both allows for critical hits at 4x modifier as the laser user has to fill the slots.

After all, the laser user can't go for MLL MLL , but has to put in F and T while he has none.

The point with the F/T combo isn't raw strength, but forcing a OOB "misguess" allowing for critical hits.

For example: MLL FFT, close in, spread out, against MTT FLF would have the last F attack at x4 factor....

A pure laser user do need the spread out however, since without it the MTT can shut off the laser player's attack completely.

Thankfully, most players haven't realized the power of "all back off" fleets yet....

Thankfully?

I suspect you underestimate the average intelligence of the player in this game ...

The problem is, single weapon fleets are superior to dual weapon fleets, direct on, because of Maneuver. Two 100-bp fleets, one of which is L one of which is F-50% and T-50%, the L fleet will generally win, excepting very bad luck with the OOB (or very bad choices).

That's because the 'first wave' strength of the first player (the L player) is 300 bp, while the first wave strength of the second player is at most 150 bp. Assuming the first player goes "close in", "spread out", and the second player goes "back off", "(anything)", the second player will likely lose a significant portion of his fleet, with MLL-TFF versus his TTF-FLL or FFT-TLL. 50 points of course are dealt in round one, 100 if F is first, but then a ton of points are dealt in round two (up to 300), and the third round is at least somewhat in favor of the first player (50 points probably). 300 points of damage is enough to win the entire battle ... thus is the strength of Maneuver.

Otherwise MORON i'd agree with ya

All in. Processing will be done in an hour or so after dinner.

We have lots of alliances and one battle.

Lasers, Torpedos, and Fighters are fine. There's a reason that Jamski didn't make all three of them exactly the same. If you think Lasers are overpowered, build an all-laser fleet and we'll see how long you last.

Why would there be so many alliances, if there is only one battle taking place?

hehe... lol

Or empty planets

I'm calling it right now. A big group of y'all just got PWND against my shield.

[snoopy369]

It may be a competition this round for who killed the most units against their shield.

I say we set up a side pool for now ...
