A time proven system against harassment on freighters has been the convoy system. Perhaps you could use a TL, assign it to follow a Brigantine and load the TL itself with some Nova Raiders. If you use a Hercules it got 1.2GJ shield and takes 9 fighters on board. Me thinks that should deter/exterminate most threatsSpaceweed Adict wrote:Hmm re-supplying my warmachine is becomeing a bit of a nightmare now too, as those sneaky terrans have started picking on my supply ships

Those fighters wont launch OOS IIRC. But you could have them protect the Brig.
My Q' Spaceweed is..How come you use the NR exclusively? I would think that a mix wings and roles, eclipses and Falcon S's would help. With a lot of combat going on in OOS the shields should help. Or am I missing something?

I guess nothing less than M7 as lead if you want to protect convoys. Terrans pack a punch and OOS combat is quite brutal.
Still a long road before the terrans do the 'battle of the line' last defense of earth.
But this whole operation must be exiting and causing a lot of thinking. You are actualy trying to 'break' the game really. Terrans are suppsoed to be almost invicible and yet you do your best to pound them to space dust.
Time will tell which side wins. Attrition and war wearines are factors that count in this.
Good for you you cant be 'voted out' by your government/people for leading your men to a war they cant possibly win!

Well Dminor I mainly use the Raider first and formost becouse she can mount the PBG and as I'm using large fighter wings I stick to the same class of ship becouse they all have the same speed so stick together and stay in formation.My Q' Spaceweed is..How come you use the NR exclusively? I would think that a mix wings and roles, eclipses and Falcon S's would help. With a lot of combat going on in OOS the shields should help. Or am I missing something?
Using multiple wings would mean they wont keep formation becouse of there differant speeds, leaving your fighter groups vunerable.
And lastly as I do most of my shopping in omni well they only sell the Raider.
Actually Megamolanius TL's wouldn't last long in Terran space becouse of there weaker shielding they can't stand up to the likes of springblossoms or Katana's let alone the Osaka's & the Yokahama's.
I do use a coulpe of TL's thou as supply ships. Suppling my outposts with missiles for there fighter wings.
I use the Elephant becouse of its hanger bays can carry a decent fighter escort and she's faster than all the rest.
Remember this is Terran space were in so no jumping in dropping off the goods, they have to travel accross a few sectors to get to there destinations.
I do monitor there routes thou when resuppling to keep it clear of any major threats that might distroy them and use my sector defence forces to deal with them before the TL's arrive.

Yep your right there XanII but I'm getting thereI guess nothing less than M7 as lead if you want to protect convoys. Terrans pack a punch and OOS combat is quite brutal.
Still a long road before the terrans do the 'battle of the line' last defense of earth. Very Happy

Hmm you can't vote out a Dictator now can you and a lot of my guys are Split anyway and they live for battle

Well anyway chaps its day 16 now I think

And we've taken the saturn & Jupiter sectors now and I've managed to get my Outpost built in Jupiter to control those sectors.

I'm on the last wing now too White wing as my Demo team for Jupiter so I'll have to think of something else when we move on Mars.
[ external image ][ external image ][ external image ]
Latest from the front line.
Before, During & after the attack on Jupiter.
Ok I've now got full control of all the northern Terran sectors and my only real threats coming from that area now is from Terran 2 as they tend to send in a few large battle groups now and again to try and take the beach head in Neptune but I've kept a good strength force there to protect it and as they have to come throu the Hub to get there I think I'll put a decent battle group in the hub to control the flow before moving on the Terran 2 sectors.

Again you'll notice how I've changed tactics by first sending in my scouts to layout a sat network before the initial invation.
Doing this gives me the advantage of knowing were the real threats lie and can coordinate are attack accordingly.
I lose a lot less ships this way by pounding there defence forces first then start the scorched earth policy

Right now the Jupiter sectors are mine we've only got Astriod Belt standing between us and Mars and ofcourse were up to another Jump gate so I'll take this sector this time no problem as I intend to attack on 2 fronts now using the advantage of the gate there and no counter stikes this time from Jupiter from the enemy

Also you may have noticed that ATF battle group in Jupiter just aimlessly wandering around. Well as you've noticed I don't even bother with them anymore as they don't seem to care what happens to the Terrans and don't get involved (Some allie they are).
Well so I look at, if they don't bother us we wont bother them as are war is with the Terrans not the ATF.
Anyway heres a few more shots taken on my expliots in Terran space.

Passing throu Uranus. Looks a bit desilate these days.
[ external image ][ external image ][ external image ]
That Shipyard in saturn is a bit of a wreck now too.
[ external image ][ external image ][ external image ]
A fauled counter attack attemped by the Terrans in Neptune which cost me another M2

So to get my revenge I took it out on them with my evil little cobra.

And last but not least.
One of my Demo teams in action in Kuiper Belt.
Losses now stand at 8 Carriers 4 Distroyer and about 300+ fighters.

Hmm... Does Aldrins give you trouble? I would have probably started from Aldrin sectors and worked up from there. Does the Xenon come in from the Aldrin sectors to join the fray too? i can imagine Neptune is indeed a focal point for multiple enemy attack vectors.

It must be a problem with your Browser. All thumbnails working fine here.

Try Firefox much better than that Microsoft crap they give you.

Have you thought why theres so much Frieght traffic trading in Jupiter.
Well the reason is simple becouse they have less & less choises now as I'm distroying all there stations as I advance so the Terrans just retreat back to safer ground.
Thats if they manage to escape ofcourse

Well yes they do drop in now and again XanII.Hmm... Does Aldrins give you trouble? I would have probably started from Aldrin sectors and worked up from there. Does the Xenon come in from the Aldrin sectors to join the fray too? i can imagine Neptune is indeed a focal point for multiple enemy attack vectors.
I lost one of my Supply TL's to the Xenon in Neptune.

She just jumped in and right behind her came a large Xenon battle group that proceeded to attack and distroy one of my Elephants before I had a chance to get help to her.
Hmm the price of war I suppose and that bloody ship had about 5000 wasps and a few 100 Typoons aboard destined for my Fleet.

I also have the Xenon Core sector linked to the Hub too, so they probably came from there.
I,ve even had one of my bases attacked by pirates in Pluto.
Only a couple of elites from the US base down that neck of the woods but it shows that by taking out the Terrans down there its giving the Pirates a bit of a free hand now.
I've even seen them as far as Uranus now.

Well actually Abscon I don't plan on invading the Torus as it would be pointless as its invincable anyway.Abscon wrote:I've been watching this for a while now..and my question is how do you expect to hold the Earth sector? Not to mention will you be pushing into the Aldrin sectors?
But I will advance as far as the moon and setup a blockade to keep those pests on there own planet.

I'll rule the universe not the Terrans and thats good enough for me.
I had no intention of attacking or distroying Earth just to push them back to it.

And as for the Alderin sectors yes I intend to concur those sectors too.
They can keep Terran 3 thou as thats normally allways full of Xenon anyway.

Well here is one for you Tiedyeguy.It would have been cool to see exactly what you are up against such as in Jupiter1r.jpg except showing the names of the hostile ships instead of the names of your ships Smile

A Terran counter Attack in Urinus I just fort off recently.
[ external image ]
The list shows the main battle group which I hadn't noticed sneak past my forces in Neptune and was heading strait for my M2 Brig in Uranus.

I immediatly ordered my Colossus in to protect my brig and commanded the Brigantine to intercept and set missile ratio to 50%.
I even sent in Blue wing my 30 Strong Raider Demolition to help out To as this was a formidable force.
Well I won the battle but my Brig sustained some serious Hull damage and I almost lost her but Blue wing my hero's of that battle saved the day and took out the bombers and Katanas that were attacking the Brig.
Phew close call had to jump the brig out for repairs as she was down to just 8% hull after that.

Probably no need to get to the Torus.
Nothing there really. items respawn but not ships?
For the Terrans the battle of the line will be at Moon. If they loose it...they loose all... Just like that Teladi Pirate.

Are you legitimately funding this operation through trading and complexes, or are you 'gifting' yourself the money for it??
How long ago did you start the game, and on what start? Just for interests sake.. makes no difference to me if you're 'cheating' but it would be good to know how long it took you to build an empire capable of sustaining that sort of war.

Well Smyde supplying the fleet can be a little tricky at times now were advancing further into terran sectors as I can't jump supply ships directly to the front line and using my TL's as I do in commonwealth sectors would be suicide here.
As for production well I have 2 huge complexs, one my Missile complex in Averice which produces Wasps,Typoons,Firestorms & wraith missiles & and my Big gun workshops in Ore belt which produces PPC's,FAA's,GC's & Ammo, HEPT & PAC's.
The PBG's I've been stockpiling for a while now from a few pirate stations I know of and supply them and keep a TS perminantly parked there to buy up any production. I had over 2000 stockpiled before this war started.
These complexs require a lot of energy so I ship this in using Minstels from my huge Power Plant in Mines of Fortune.
This plant not only supply's my military complex's but the commercial ones too.
Well you got to have the money coming in to finance a war like this haven't you.
And lastly as for shields, I don't produce any of these personally as I only buy my fighters when the large versions are available and I buy them in large numbers believe me.
He stated before that he had some what...2 or more mega self sufficient complexes funding the war with material supplies and credit flow.
here's the quote from what i think was page 3.
No idea how he started and would like to know that too dropbear

It will be interesting to see how his logistics support is able to deal with the strain. not to mentio money. No war bonds can be sold here. If you gift money to yourself, you have effectively lost it.

I think the quote pasted by Abscon was answering a question about equiping the battle fleets, not funding. There's a clue in the authors name in how he funds this - I think he has just one or two drug/booze complexes.
He had another thread about starting a charity in game, as he had so much cash...

Right so you all think I've been cheating in the funds to sponser this war then well you couldn't be further from the truth and perkint hit the nail right on the head.
The ultimate Boot Legger & drug barron of known space
Right so your all iching to know how the Addict started out in life then.
Well here go's. I started off way back about 6 or 8 months ago as the trusty old Argon Patriot, Hmm its that long now I can't even remember what my starting ship was. An M4 I think, probably a buster or something of that range.
And ofcourse been around this universe a long time so I don't need a universe map I know my way around this universe like the back of my hand so exploring wasn't a problem I knew exactly were to go.
Anyways the first couple of sessions was basically flying around doing a lot of scavanging and spent most of my time in pirate space looking for some booty left over from local squobbles between the good old pirates and passing traders.
I even use to attack the larger pirate convoys then lead them into a trap by getting them to follow me and lead them into the big guns of a nearby carriers or Distroyers.
Easy money there
Wasn't long before I had enough to buy my first ship and if my memory serves me right it was a Argon Magnitar, well that was after I'd tuned up my little M4 first mind.
Right quite a few missions later and a lot more scavanging got me enough cash to start my new business as a second hand ship trader travelling the universe and buying any good bargains that came my way,
and ofcourse keeping my eye open for those abandanded ships I knew was out there somewere. ( Most being basically in the same places as they were in Reunion made it a little easier to find them).
Man that laser fitted to my suit certainly earned its keep in the early days.
Heres a couple of images I dug out of my arhcives from back then.
[ external image ][ external image ]
Oh those were the days when times were hard and cash was tight.
Anyways I'd reached a few mil now and finally had made my way to Omnicron Lyre and ofcourse that ment the start of my plot missions were I started the Terran missions.
Also as I'd bought a few ships on my way there and I'd used a little cheap disco I'd bought off some guy, fixed it up and kitted it out to do a lot of exporing for me which saved a lot of time and effort.
Anyways I think most of you know how the Terran missions pan out so I won't go into that but to say well that well put me on my feet.
Giving me my first M6 and to boot a couple of TP full of marines too.
Which I never even used as the local Terrans done all the work for me so those guys were sent strait to boot camp and well once they were trained up well I never looked back then.
Thats when I decided to turn bandit and start my new life and doned the good old jolly roger aboard my nice shiney new Vidar.
Man they didn't know what they'd done giving me that ship.
I'd had enough of being Mr nice guy but I couldn't go to mad at this stage as I had to be a little sneaky and as all good rouges don't get cought in the act.
Right my first capture was a lonely Argon Arena that wondered a little to far off the beaten track and I just couldn't resist it.
Well I now had my first captial ship. Well it was to me at the time.
In the mean time by the way I'd built up my rep with most of the races now and they all thought I was such a nice guy but if they only knew the truth.
Ok I'm a TL owner now so that meant build missions were now easily available to me so I went a little mad grabbing as mainy as I could in a confined area building up a good network of NPC station around Omni.
The object ofcourse was to set up some good trading oppertunities for my Sector traders to work in safely.
See you get paid to build for them then you make a killing delivering goods for them too.
See you can't go wrong these idiots were throwing money at me now.
Right was starting to make some real cash now and thats when I started off in my building carrier and Built a small Weed & Booze complex in Moo-Kyes Revenge.
Oh and in the mean Time I'd found myself a Hyperion patroling down there in Paronid space and capped it so Now I had my ultimate prize.
The deadly little M6 hyp Which I'm still flying to this day.
So I'll give you 3 guesses whats listed as my favorite ship now.
Hmm was a shame to park up that Vidar thou as she'd done me proud killing a lot of Xenon and made me some good cash on those patrol missions but well times must go on.
The Vidar was eventually scrapped much later at my PHQ to make way for a few more Hyperions I wanted.
Hmm well the money was starting to come in pritty quickly now and I started expanding my empire with more complexs for well you know what. The dreaded hub missions and this is when my game eventually whent from Unmodified to Modified when I had to install the Complex Cleaner Mod as my computer was starting to stuggle a bit now with those bloody complexs I had to build for the hub.
Anyways while the hub was grinding its way throu I done a lot more capping and my first was ofcourse the Deadly Cobra I came accross down in Contorted Dominion. The split wern't to happy about it but I had a good rep with them now so it wasn't much of a big deal.
Well once I had that ship it was the big guns then, the brigs and Acuma's were within my grasp and by god did I cain them.
By the time I'd reached the end of the Hub missions and Capped that Boron TL I had a 18 strong fleet of Brigs and some 6 Argon carriers which were paid for mainly by the Yaki ships as I hate those things.
My empire was well astablished by this time too as I had the base setup now in averise and the dosh was really rolling in now from my Chip,Booze & Weed complexs I build and kept expanding.
So there you have it from a humble second hand ship trader to a multi-Billion doller War Lord with the empire to back him up.
Thats why I can affort to pay for this war.
I spent near on another 1& 1/2 billion again last night on more Carriers and fighters for the next stage of the war with the Terrans.
The advance on Mars and the rest of the upper part of the Terran empire.
Phew that was a long one.
Anyways there you have thats how the Addict reached these hights in the game. I don't give up until it really is the end and the Biggest and mightest has fallen then it really is the end.
Well for the Terrans anyway.
