It just occurred me, when I "park" the Godsplitter in the market, I will have to keep the fusion generator working and turn off most systems. I don't want to shutdown the fusion generator and expend an enormous amount of energy to bring it back online.

Kinda. Also, I'm thinking of potentially doubling arceleration and max speed values to speed up combat a little. Maybe not, we'll see how it goes.

I think it wouldn't take long if we ran towards them, but I want to take advantage of the missiles. Which remembers me, how much HP do those 45 size missiles have?

4( 4.5 actually, but wherether I round down or up depends on the roll)
One of them already got blown up.

How high was their laser damage roll? It is 0-8 if I remember correctly.

They rolled a five. Note that they have 2 lasers. And they need to actually hit first. (They only have an about 40% hit chance)

I just noticed missile warfare sucks balls. Meh. They'll all be destroyed before reaching the target.

The next missiles I create will have fighter shields on them. Is that acceptable? Theoretically, they could phase through the enemy's shields and deliver the crack right into the hull.

They probably won't.  The Achilles won't keep firing at the missiles. And after all, the first wave follows closly on the second.

Yeah, but probably quite expensive. You can try armoring them too. And yes they can phase through shields.

Also, I'm might double all speeds and arcelerations to speed up the game a bit. Not sure yet.

Worth it. The dirty work of taking the shields down is done by the enormous amount of Barracudas I carry at the moment.

Edit: I just remembered they carry size 7 Boosters. Are those activated at the moment?

I launched them at start, Yes. That's why they have 70 speed, rather then 2.

For how long do the boosters keep pushing the missiles?

One time speed boost.

Maybe I really should double all speeds and arcellerations.

Well, what do you think? Pretty damn expensive, but I think their chance of bypassing the shield is worth it.
Spoiler: Heaven Divider Missile (click to show/hide)

That may be be needed, especially for missiles.

Edit: And maybe only the accelerations. I believe the speeds are fine as they are.

Nope, That would make conventional engines rather useless.

Ok, but a ship trying to escape a missile would still have solid chances of doing the same.

t the moment, we are lucky because the Conglomerate ship is maneuvered by an idiot.
