N-S: Quick question... If you have more than 4 Pods on an M7M and you order a Pod Barrage, will it only launch the 4 pods there are marines for (5 marines per pod, 20 total marines) or would it launch all 8 without guys in 1/2 of them?

I told you there were jump signatures forming, I know my sensors even when I'm so drunk that my legs will no longer hold me

. I also know my red "obliterate sector" button from the big red "RSLG" button any time of the day

Also... now would be a good time to hand me some missiles, Mr. Kayean

Ship: Discoverer Raider (Moocow's Revenge)
Loadout: Whatever you see fit.

Rally, purple wing! Redeem our honor, we must!

The good news here is there aren't many M and L class fighters, so knock those out an the PBE's get shut off. The N's are then just mop up work, the P's fall to Gauss Cannon fire, and...

well, the K will be interesting.

I vote Tomahawks.

A side question:

I see that u intend to put a couple of Ore mines in asteroids with only 3 roids in it

Is that advisable? Will they produce anything at all with such low roid?

Energy Star Compliant for the energyplex
Big Badda Boom for the boomeroid complex

I've also used Energon Cube for an energyplex.

This is going to be fun. I'm betting Steve is training his marines in those pirate stations, if so then he's committed to taking out this invasion and that K is rather close to the stations. Its a race against time ...

I'd vote for "Convenient Store" as a name for your going-to-be-mega-complex

N-S what have you done to your X3TC?
I hardly see Xenon ships out of their sectors..
Although that's not that bad, as they're really pissin' me off with their PBEs since speed and ugly insane maneuvers don't help getting rid of them.
Damn instant-hit-thingies roasted my beautiful Nove Raider lately

Anyways, Xenon's PBEs aren't the only ones that can roast things in no-time.

How about "Missiles R Us"?

I've been wanting to make a complex soon but don't know what and where to put it. It wouldn't be for me, well I guess it would be, but it's more for selling the products it makes.

nice story.

How about Steve's Hardware Store. Cheaper than B&Q, much the same result!

soo...I just read this whole thread in two days.

1st: Great story
2nd: Do I get a cookie?

festa_freak · Post by **festa_freak** » Fri, 14. Aug 09, 20:13

I think the guy who left his pizza in the oven should get a cookie.

"Deathbringer"

I'm not a creative type with names.

Or, if his marines are indeed training on those pirate stations, RSLG-SMLTNT (Spamming Missiles Like There's No Tomorrow)

you've done it again, NS, you made me want to play X3TC again, after all my saves went *poof*, including my DiD game

Purple wing should indeed rally.

Green Wing is ready for anything, sir. Lock and load.

It's just struck me as ironic given the title of this thread that there's aren't more nuclear capable ships in Steve's fleet, and given that he'll probably need a support ship too, I'll toss my name in for:

1. Elephant
2. "Wanton Use"
3. Turrets: FAA, Tractor beam, IRE as applicable.
4. Firestorms & Hammerheads. 100% - max shields please...
5. Sector Defense

Just don't put me too close to the factories...
