Right

@ thecrazybear:
You might want to add a link to BeidAmmikons Squadroncalculator to make it easier for everybody new to this to create their own flotillas.

yeah good idea

Cpt.Jericho · Post by **Cpt.Jericho** » Sun, 12. Sep 10, 01:00

A small issue with the SquadCalculator: The lower money limit of this program so far is 100Mio Cr. So, be careful

Looks like no one wants to fight against my wings...

Yo, Triaxx, you've got enough air to equip every Buster with another MD - 20% mor firepower

Ok, let's see... what did we learn from the XFF? Spam fleet wins all?

In all seriousness, let's try this for cost efficiency:

300x Mass Driver --- 35,059,200 cr
3450x Mass Driver Ammo --- 2,318,400 cr
====
Total: 49,952,250 cr

Yes, be very afraid, that's 300 Mass Drivers for you!

2. Patrol Group
Should I really? Naaaaaaa

Code: Select all

2x Shrike --- 59,580,400 cr
8x 1GJ shield --- 2,393,344 cr

The PACs should go into the main guns of the Kessies here.

3. Survival

5x 2GJ shield --- 3,639,620 cr

I'd say enough left for a serious victory celebration, right?

Hope you don't mind the slightly spammy nature of the first two fleets...
Also, please note, the numbers given are totals, divide by ship number to get the equipment for each ship. I do hope everything fits into their cargo holds

Well, as long as it's just the one fleet... You should be fine. However, may I suggest that if you ever decide to repeat this and/or to change the rules, that you limit the amount of ships to a reasonable level? Find out what that level is for your PC, then use half of it as the fleet size limit.

Yeah i think that would be wise thought my credit limits would help oh well btw people I need opinions on the survival section:The plan is either one of 2 things i spawn a whole heap of random units to face your fleets or we make it like a 3 part battle between fleets with increasing power of ships e.g fighters to M6/M7 to M2? and survivor's get carried over to next wave with full repairs and rearm
