X-Verse Fleet Fest I

At least I got one prediction right so far.

And perkint just got himself(?) a Xenon squeaky toy.

So do missiles really make that much of a difference, may have to revise my XFF II fleet design.

Can't wait to see the Mutiny/Le Baron fight.....wonder how long the fight lasted (perhaps an hour)?

@TJ, Glad you like it.

My sig alteration is still in a prototype stage (it's currently the third prototype), not sure if I'll keep it as is or if I'm going to make additional changes/modifications to it.

he he he

I love how everyone assumes that the missiles were the deciding factor for the match

Oh and the Mutiny vs Le Baron match was something like 16 minutes.

There's no other choice, but to assume that, since your short summary indicates that the "curse of the tempest and ghost", which are obviously missiles, settled the doom for the opponent.

I didn't mean ghost as in the missile ghost. I meant it as the phantom ghost.

D'oh. The phantom is also a missile right?

Looks like you'll just have to wait for the video.

Seems so.

Or the save... *dl'ing*

Ah, savegame! Gimme!! Have to see before commenting!

Hm, seen it now and I'm surprised. Not by the outcome but on my rig the Titan as well as the Centaurs were standing still for a long period of time

- before they blew. Anyone else experiencing this?

Wow. And my bracket is wrecked again.

Spoiler

Show

Nice fight. Bit short, tho. The Centaur were wiped out in no time and the Titan, too. oO But all ships seemed to suffer from slow speed. There was hardly a ship which surpassed the 100m/s and often the seemed to be paralyzed...

I doubt you'll be able to recreate the thing that happened in my battle. It was probably a one off glitch or bug (not tide changing in anyway though).

Also, to all contestants/observers of XFF-I.

Who do you think will emerge at the top?

EmperorJon · Post by **EmperorJon** » Tue, 11. May 10, 21:51

Me.

No, seriously. Either me, or Perkint, or any of the nasty swarms that get through.

Tenlar Scarflame · Post by **Tenlar Scarflame** » Tue, 11. May 10, 22:06

I call the Zephyrus brigade.

The one that will win will be the one that can put the most guns in the air with the lowest attrition rate so my money will be on one of the Solano hordes.

As to which one, well that might be interesting as in my opinion none of them are kitted out as optimally as they could be so we'll see.

But worse things. I had a Centaur as last remaining Argon and there were 3 missiles who could have destroyed the Centaur easily. But what did they do? They turned around the Centaur, round after round, approached and flew away again... funny to watch.

Finally, a Falcon released the Centaur to the Scrapyard.

Yeah, but we all know that between me and you it's lady luck who's dictating the winner.

I was going to say that.

The next fight should be interesting, Spitzeuk vs. Cpt.Jericho.......and CJ better not lose since I have him pegged as the XFF I winner. Of course AV is betting on Spitzeuk.....and both of us can't be right.

Alex Vanderbilt · Post by **Alex Vanderbilt** » Tue, 11. May 10, 22:24

Who cares?

I don't! A won battle is a won battle. *grin*

Of course, Spitzeuk will win. Against all expectations and simulations/earlier runs with Teladi fleets.

There is no Lady Luck....I locked her in the trunk of my flagship so she can't alter the outcome of the fights (except during my fights, of course).

And you think that she'll alter your fights to be good for your side after you locked her in the back of your ship? Reasoning flaw alert!

Unless... what have you threatened her with?!

Cpt.Jericho · Post by **Cpt.Jericho** » Tue, 11. May 10, 23:57

He probably said she'd be on his Deimos during the battle - she'll need all the luck one can have on that first run against 2 Phoenixi (or is it -xes

). Your only hope that they run out of ammo too soon.

As for my first battle I think it will be to who looses the first Panther. I hope, it was a wise choice to take 5 Katanas instead of a Titan - on the other hand, some choice that was, considering all those pesky little mass fleets. A fully outfittet Oddy would have been too expensive. Though I'd really wanted one in my fleet first...

Edit:
Could somebody please bump the German thread back to the 1st page? I'm afraid the mods won't be too happy to see me doing it all the time

Obviously none of you have a chance to win against my fleet, so...
