Oh, don't worry, I have a few plans for the next fleet fest regarding eyecandy.. And besides, each of those 50 TMs could be considered a flagship

Some fleets will decimate other fleets - and in turn those decimated fleets will perform admirably against other fleets with different compositions - I would say that the Solanos would cripple most opposition but put them up against 2 /3 PSG Deimos and they'd not fare so well (Or that's what I have found from my testing).
This is why I'd like a league eventually where we choose 250,000,000 team from a 400,000,000 squad (decided at start of season) and the one with 'home advantage' gets to choose their team AFTER the away team submits theirs.

True. I didn't create my fleet just to "fighterspam" - I just wanted to see how it would do against well-balanced fleets.
P.S. Updated fleet list with one minor change to use up extra credits. Now less than a thousand left.

Been wondering about PSGs - got a pair of Deimos M7s in the fleet already (was aiming for an all Yaki fleet but, like the other Yaki M7s, the Kariudo Hauler isn't available in the vanilla game - Deimos is the nearest equivalent & looks the same). They're currently equipped with ISR main guns & FAA turrets (due to worries about friendly fire) but I guess, on the principle that it'll kill the enemy fighters as well, I might reconsider their loadout.

Not possible anymorer for over 2 to 3 years now due to security reasons. Contacting an Admin or Mod is the only way to change the name.
My change was only temporary for a test of the ingame devchat. ^^
@Topic You both, Eli and KJ, stabbed the topic! Shame on you!

My entry, for fun ^^
The Desperate Ronins
==============
22 Maxxed out Terran Katana
base price........................................ 6330429
12 x empc........................................ 3870480
5 x 200Mj ........................................ 779080
duplex scan, MKI and MKII fighter sw..... 10136
10.990.125 C each x 22 = 241.782.750
plus, 2420 x Poltergeist missiles (110 each ship) = 2420x3368 = 8.150.560
For a grand total of 249.933.310 C
I'm curious to see if they will be able to get in fire range of a Capship based fleet before annihilation ^^

@X2-Eliah - nice fleet. That was the second option I was considering. TMs for cheap (disposable) docking ports and shed loads of decent M4's (or M4+). Glad someone put that fleet in 
I might have been tempted to drop a few ships and get zephyrus' equipped with thunderbolts, just to get some heavy hitters into the mix...

On a general thinking:
Would the missile fire chance be raised - please? Having it at default 5% would be silly for a short time, intense fight... due to cooldown times most missiles would just remain in the cargo bays...

That could be fun, though not necessarily long-lived 
Somebody should throw in a fleet of Mistrals as well, they're reasonably armed!

Interestingly, no TJ yet today...
Personally, I'm excited to see the Round 1 bracket once it shapes up. Do we know how it's going to be decided? Random dice roll perhaps? Place all fleets in an array and monkeysort them a few times?

TJs Mum picks the teams as I remember.
There are a few I don't want to meet in RND 1 for sure...
