Looking forward to it!

me too. Even if the first battle wouldn't be ours. I am really not sure, how this fight will end

...

but as it's my fleet I just have to say: You'll be wiped out from my little "Davids"

I'll have to think about who the winner might be.

You can forbid betting on yourself. And... i would happily vote on someone, as i expect to be able to know enough about X3TC by XFFII

I'm not sure I'd vote for myself! Especially if I ever have to go up against either the Double Osakas or the Solano Swarm.

Whatever the case... it's a long shot. But I'm officially backing Killjaeden's Zephyrus brigade.

I predict that in a war of attrition against anything but mass drivers, they've got the longevity and the press of arms to win the day.

Here's to hoping the first round doesn't wipe him out!

Well, fair enough, don't you think?

Which is probably illegal even in Xenon space.

What is there to know? All we do is considering what actually would happen. No one has any experience on how the AI would react on something like this. If you know X3R you can make an educated guess just as everone else does.

Edit:

I don't fear both: The PSPs of the Osakas aren't that efficient in AIs hand and the Solanos have short range weapons - though I think they're more dangerous than 2 oversized slugs waiting for IBL fire to hit them.

Alright after much thought and reviewing of fleets I'm officially backing Cpt.Jericho's T.C. F.A.R.T. Fleet as the XFF I winner.

.....Since I can't back myself.

Dantrithor · Post by **Dantrithor** » Sun, 2. May 10, 23:23

When this idea began i barely knew anything about the new ship classes. I didn't know what a IBL, or TM was, neither how the new weapons performed. After playing a bit with my carrier, escorts and fighters, i'll have a better idea for the next XFF. Plus, if i bet on someone and win, some extra money for the newb would be appreciated

The Credit Bonus is currently under debate.

While the person/people who correctly guess who the winner of XFF I will receive a 1mil credit bonus, the XFF I winner should get a 2mil credit bonus for XFF II.

Predicted XFF I Winner

Tenlar Scarflame bets on Killjaeden
Deadbeat_Spinn bets on Cpt.Jericho, Out (Death, Round 1)
Cpt.Jericho bets on Alex Vanderbilt, Out (Death, Round 1 [Redo])
Alex Vanderbilt bets on Spitzeuk
X2-Eliah bets on Alex Vanderbilt, Out (Death, Round 1 [Redo])
Le Baron bets on Alex Vanderbilt, Out (Death, Round 1 [Redo])
travisdh1 bets on stemardue, Out (Death, Round 1)
Killjaeden bets on NUKLEAR-SLUG, Out (Death, Round 1)

It seems the current favorite to win is Alex Vanderbilt......wonder how EmperorJon's taking it.

And unfortunately both Cpt.Jericho & Alex Vanderbilt has been KIA along with stemardue & NUKLEAR-SLUG.

The remaining survivors, Killjaeden & Spitzeuk, will be fighting again in Round 2. However they will be facing off against one another in Round 2 so only one of them will make it to Round 3.

The winner gets a bonus? so they can have a bigger/better fleet in XFF II ? that sounds a bit unfair really. Shouldn't it be less credits? kinda like success ballast in motorsport?

2 million credits isn't going to buy much, hell the cost of some guns are in the neighborhood of 1 million credits. 2 million might be able to buy a half way decent M4.

I remember back when this first started people were saying 250 million credits is a lot of money. But in truth it's not, the average M2 will eat close to half of a 250mil budget.

Cpt.Jericho · Post by **Cpt.Jericho** » Mon, 3. May 10, 00:13

As long as Alex Vanderbilt can survive the first round he could win this.

And what if the winner won't compete next time?

Deadbeat_Spinn · Post by **Deadbeat_Spinn** » Mon, 3. May 10, 00:15

If the winner chooses not to compete in XFF II then no bonus I guess or it could go to the winners opponent. But odds are the vast majority of fleet submitters will partake in XFF II.

@CJ, you backing AV as the winner?

I remember back when 500mil budget was discussed. The only prize offered for the winner was a still to be announced title and I think we should leave it at that.

Edit:
Yes I do.

I'm honored.

But I go for Spitzeuk as winner. Why? He's the one with the least credits left.

1 Million more would have been enough to have 20 Medusae instead of the Persi...

Or two more PSG.

Well, as long as you get to round 2. It's the Oddy that would make the difference I think - PSGs can wreck a whole fleet of fighters in no time and PPCs can stand against anything else.

As for Spitzeug: He can best my fleet, I think. But it's IMO not suitable against massive fighter attacks.

1mio extra would probably have given me another Katana (since I didn't substract the shields that my ships came with).

Alex Vanderbilt · Post by **Alex Vanderbilt** » Mon, 3. May 10, 02:19

Yeah... I didn't subtract the shields either...

... my victory totally depends on luck, absolutely and completely.

We could do something like this for the top three and any other "mentionables":

That looks sweet, I'll back it.

Ugly.

Aww, but it took time to copy the look and feel of the icon. *cries in a corner*
