Nah you had a small amount of fighters left, around 5 or so, but it was the Panther vs Odysseus that was close.

AV's Panther blew up early in the match and then your fighters started to work on destroying his fighters. Then at one point when all the fighters were still dueling between them selves, your Panther started chasing AV's Odysseus, and when I say chasing, I mean chasing. The Panther was pretty much following the Odysseus. Both the Panther's and the Odysseus's shields were down to around 10-15% when this happened. Luckily for you, since your Panther was chasing the Odysseus, you had the advantage of superior fire power. (Main vs Back Turret). Your IBLs managed to destroy the Odysseus before the Odysseus's PSGs could break your shields.

Pretty close.


EDIT: Ok results posted, new save files are up. Video should be up tomorrow morning. This is the last match before I leave.

Similar happenings to my tests, except my Panther went sideways and blew up. :roll:


But still... Kalu... *gulpgulp!*

And anyway, 3 cheers for Alexvanderbilt the Great.

Geez! Silly Artificial Incompetency! :shock: It's useless to have missiles, it's useless to have additional weapons ... well, then, it's useless to have certain big ships where you could have thought, according to the common behavior in the game, that it (the Odysseus) would change weapons according to the needs, but no... on the other hand, PSG as well as PPC are anti bigship weapons. It's not surprising that the Oddy used PSG instead of PPC under this rule... :shock: I'll keep that in mind for the next XFF. Or rather, I learn how to script and make a better combat AI for the game (Ok, that was a joke :roll:).

@EmperorJon Congrats. ;)

Hey, I'm the one with 20M credits of bomber. :roll:

Nah, wouldn't be too hard, just come up with a script which makes weapon selection sensible, probably hasn't been done before. :roll: At least, I've never heard of one... :roll:

Yeah, and I will not use fewer or even not a single missile at all the next time. And I will rethink the use of capitol ships. Depending on the rules of the next round.

It has been done, for Reunion as a stand-alone project, and for TC as part of other scripts. I think, Gazz and Lucike have done certain changes to the combat AI.

Well, I will use missles next XFF. I think the AI does quite a good job on those. I ran a battle with one of my new fleets and it seems that the AI doesn't just has a fireprobabilty based on a certain percentage. Against Spitzeuk's fleet not a single heavy missle has been fired against the Panther (PALCs would have rendered those useless anyway.
But using my old fleet against Kalu's those Katanas had not much of their missles left.
Of course, 30 missles are to much for a single ship. But during a 6 minutes battle they can fire about 4-8 missles. And I wouldn't M8 for the Bomberjob. An M3 has similar shielding, can also use heavy missles and is as a fighter not useless - and rather inexpensive.

Well Imperium3, congrats. on your impending win.

Heheh, it may not be Kalu that you're going to fight, sonny Jim :twisted:

Incidentally hairdryers are now banned from all ships on my fleet. Except for M5s, where they're the weapons.

I might rethink my previous statement, too. There are quite a lot Wasp and also Typhoon (from what I've seen in the vid) flying around. I agree so far, that the current count of missiles is sufficient for a decent job. Heavy missiles, such as M8 torpedos, however, are out. I haven't seen any fired towards any of my ships, which is a clear fail.

I've seen them occasionally. But considering the price of an M8 they not worth it. I strongly suggest M3s for that job.

I was going to suggest fighting across the brackets instead of up and down them for the second round, but I think I'd rather let EJ's fleet get eliminated by someone else first instead. :wink:

Perhaps though we can work back up the other side of the bracket though? Why, yes, I am anxious to crush Aro.

At least you're not part of the last match for Round 1 so you'll be fighting sooner. :wink:

Now who would you prefer to face in Round 2 Triaxx2, Tenlar or me? :D

Yes, I say fight across. :roll:

Either that or get Kalu to pray like hell.


Kalu, pray man pray! If you fluke win I'll promise I'll fight you and erm... beat you but let you lose graciously.

Yes I have to say EJ seems to be a little carried away by his victory! I think he's setting in motion plans for World Domination now... :(

I've spent the past page noting down reasons why I'll lose my next match and you say that? :roll:


Anyway, I want to make it clear who I vote for as the expected winner. I want the prize!
:roll:

Winner will definitely be Imperium3. 100%.

I will definitely lose my next match. 100%.

Kalu will definitely lose to Imperium3. 100%.



Done.

Wordizzle. :P I've been devoured by summer classes and just got a chance to look at the proceedings.

Re: the Sludgeworms, WOOHOO I called one correctly. :D I have full confidence in their ability to carry their next match.

Re: TiT's, I'd say the Yoko ramming the Boreas was a tactical success for Spychotic. The Boreas' shields were looking pretty solid before the ramming attack, and I think Spy's fleet would have taken a LOT more losses without it.

Re: EJ and AV, definitely pumped to see the new video. :D Sucks to have victory snatched away by a technicality, though - which means it was a close match in either direction.

Re: me not having fighters, do too! :P Even if they're falcon haulers, so more like carrier-friendly mini-corvettes.
