Does the Lose mean that I lost or the Enemy lost?

You lost. Not enough speed, not enough health.

And wouldn't you want to change your avatar to a close picture of DEATHSHIP in combat, from the newest update?

Probably no update today as I hit my head earlier and ain't feeling so well. The goods news is I finally have an idea for the next battle >_>
Yeah, Spartan, you need more armour, but you're not getting upgrades right now. Patience, little grasshopper.

I did the start of this battle still; enjoy.

You took Procyon, but it was not a victory. You took such heavy casualties it will be impossible to continue the war. Negoations are going on with the Remnant Fleets, but they're not going too well yet.
However, you have another problem. Command has figured out why there was such a powerful force waiting for you on Judgement; there is a traitor in your ranks.
This traitor was identified, but he was warned beforehand. The man attacked the Enlightement, the very first ship in the NTN series, boarded her and took control.
Command has determined he plans to meet up with a Remnant force near Judgement and escape with a ton of important data and intel.
He must be stopped. As the 7th Fleet is the nearest Meritocracy force in the area, you've been tasked with taking him down.
He escaped with the Enlightment and a Watchman, but he might've visited a pirate base before heading to Judgement, hinting at the possibility of a pirate escort.

---



There he is. Do not let him escape.

“Alright lads, let’s keep it together. Don’t want a repeat of the last battle,” Sibrek said, “Joon, what’s the word on the traitor? Dead or alive?”

“Command says either.” Joon answered. Sibrek grinned at the news.

“Aye, that simplifies things. Alright, I say we stick together, so we can handle them in case they attack en masse. But chances are, the cur will use the pirates as a screen as he makes a break for it. If that be the case, I say the Purgatory and Redemption can handle the pirates, while the faster ships continue pursuit. Aim to knock out their thrusters.” Sibrek said, taking a seat in the captain’s chair. As he did so, he put on an elaborate tricorne hat, complete with a silver lining along the brim. He didn’t much care for the official uniforms. Much to plain and boring. “Joon, try and hack into their communications. Maybe we can swing the pirates to our side with a little convincing. Or a few credits.”

(Hope you feel better soon)

You really shouldn't compare any of my ships and the game's ships. The Watchman - a frigate - dealt with an Alien Cruiser without much trouble.
I really wish the game's forums had ships made with the game's style, and not these weird coloured parts. They don't exactly fit in with the others, but I really need some overpowered ship that could take on the Astra'ath alone.

what its easy just take rail guns and make them into auto rail guns then give the ship a slow turning speed so that it cant fire on fast ships

edit: auto rail guns can not for some reason damage Aegis deflectors not any damage at all

It doesn't even have any Aegis Deflectors, it's a broadsider (so turning speed doesn't really matter so much) and it's so long even a fast ship will have some trouble going around it.
Besides, I'm not going to edit the Astra'ath. That'd be kinda missing the point of finding a ship equal to it. Also, I want a battleship to pit against it, not just a normal ship with überguns.

"Well then, this was to be expected from such a spineless coward, i do think that it's time to show him how the Schrutes do buisness"
As he started to walk around the somewhat cramped bridge he started to plan an attack.
"Since he has taken quite a valuable ship we should take care not to destroy it completley, so the best option would be to knock out it's enegines, or possibly the bridge, nevertheless we become proactive now, use gluon bolters to swarm it's PD and aim the railguns at the enegines, after that try to stay out of it's firing range while taking out the pirate escorts"
As he sat down in his chair the final order was given:
"Well gentlemen it's time to act, battlestations all!"

I sure hope your head'll feel better soon- Very soon.
Lets see if I'm up to some RP...

No major incidents, no socializing. Much better than he had expected. In the end he did not have to meet with the captain called 'Needle'. As soon as a new ship was available, he boarded it.
He hadn't spoken since. Being among a crowd like the one on board of the Will of Iron threw him out of his balance. Yet he took seat on yet another 'command chair'- Great. He blasted it, so he simply wasn't allowed to speak. Caesar looked around at the crew readying the new ship for yet more action. They knew their way around now, and as such, he didn't bother to interrupt them. He shifted a bit: Once more he forgot comfort, his chair not even bearing a single soft surface, being made of aluminum. At the very least it had arm-rests. He hated to go without those.

and also you said to create a destroyable  ship not a ship destroyable by the Astra'ath

Uhh, I said neither things. I said I want a ship that's more or less equal in power to the Astra'ath. (I admit, it'd be quite hard for you to make that without knowing how strong the Astra'ath actually is. >_>)
I could upload it if anyone wants to take a shot at it.

EDIT: So that in tests, neither ship would always be the winner. It might lose, but it also might win, with a little luck, or the other way around.
